This chapter delves into Rübel, a tortoise-shaped deity that appears in both Bon and Buddhist traditions. It provides a detailed account of Rübel’s life and residence in the sea, followed by how Mañjuśrī tamed Rübel and transformed it into the foundation of the world. The narration also explores the divinatory schemes embodied in Rübel, such as the five elements, eight trigrams, nine magic squares, and Zodiac animals that play an indispensable role in Tibetan astrology.
