Mt. Kailash,
6,740 m. is situated to the north of the Himalayan barrier,
wholly within Tibet. It is the perfect mountain with awesome
beauty, with 4 great faces. It is the spiritual centre for four
great religions: Tibetan Buddhism, Hinduism, the Jain religion
and the pre-Buddhist animistic religion - Bonpo. To Tibetans it
is known as Khang Rimpoche (Precious Jewel of Snow) and they see
it as the navel of the world. It is said that a stream from the
mountain pours into a nearby lake and from here rivers flow in
the four cardinal directions. |
