Kailash
Kailash
Mount Kailash is regarded as a "god" by Tibetan Buddhism and Hinduism, ranking first among the "three holy saints" of missionary work, and is called a sacred mountain. Kailash is also a pilgrimage center for Tibetan Buddhism, Hinduism and primitive Bon, and is also known as the "King of the Sacred Mountain."
[1]
It is also recognized as the "center of the world" by Hinduism, Tibetan Buddhism, Bon, the original Tibetan religion, and ancient Jainism. Kailash is not the highest mountain in the region, but only its snow-capped summit is illuminated by the sun and its distinctive shape, which is distinct from the surrounding peaks and imbued with religious piety and awe.
Gangren Pozi means "mountain of gods" in Tibetan, and "heaven of Shiva" in Sanskrit (Shiva is the main Hindu god), from which Bon originated. From the Indian creation epic,
The Ramayana
As well as Tibetan historical works such as the Sea Records of Gangdisi Mountain,
purana
The records in the books "Kailash" and others speculate that people's worship of Kailash can be traced back to about 1,000 BC. According to the Bon scriptures, a river flows down from Kailash to the unconquerable lake, Lake Mapongyong. Four great rivers originate from this place and flow east, south, west and north. Flowing to the east is the Tangchangbo Maquan River (downstream is the Brahmaputra River), rich in emeralds, the people who drink this water as strong as a horse; Flowing to the south is the Maja Zangpo Peacock River (downstream is the Ganges), rich in silver sand, the people who drink this water as lovely as peacock and Kailash; Flowing to the west is the Langkhin Zangbuxiangquan River (downstream is the Sutlej River), rich in gold, people drink this water as strong as elephants; Flowing to the north is the Senge Zangbo Lion Spring River (downstream of the Indus River), rich in diamond deposits, the people who drink this water like lions. Every year there is an endless stream of pilgrims from India, Bhutan, Nepal and the major Tibetan areas of China.
Indians call this mountain Kailash and consider it the center of the world. Shiva, the most powerful and the highest of the three main gods in Hinduism, lived here. The upper reaches of the Indus and Ganges rivers in India originated here, so Kailash saw a large number of Indian pilgrims.
Kailash has long been a place of fascination for pilgrims and explorers, but no one has yet been able to climb this sacred mountain, or dare to touch the center of the world.

Kailash
"To the Sacred Mountain" tells the story of ordinary Tibetans who go to the sacred mountain to worship, showing the Tibetans' devout religious enthusiasm and unique understanding of life. The activity is at the foot of Kailash Rinpochi in Ngari District. 2002 is the year of the Horse in the Tibetan calendar, and according to Tibetan Buddhism, in the year of the horse, you can get 12 times more merit than in previous years. On April 15 of the Tibetan calendar, the 12-yearly activity of setting up prayer flags at the foot of the sacred Mountain is a great event that those who turn to the mountain cannot miss. On the day of the prayer flags, more than 30,000 devout believers gathered at the foot of Kailash. The film tracks and shoots a group of worshippers from the Nagqu area, these Tibetans from the remote Amdo county, by five trucks, to the mountains, the sense of piety, overflowing.

Kailash is the ashram of Buddha Lord Sakyamuni, as it is called in Buddhism
Sumu Mountain
This is the mountain. For the faithful, a circle around Kailash can wash away their SINS and lead to a new life. Therefore, every summer, a large number of believers and visitors from various Tibetan areas of China come to the foot of the sacred mountain in Tachin, ready to turn to the mountain, and pilgrims from India, Bhutan and Nepal also gather here. The trek is about 53 kilometers and usually takes two days. The first day was relatively flat, with alpine meadows and meadows. Most people choose to turn clockwise, with a stream on the left and Kailash on the right. As long as the clouds and fog clear, the sacred mountain will reveal its charming face, which is a warm and powerful pillar in the heart of the mountain. Stay at the Zhreji Temple 22 km away. Early the next day, climb up to the highest pass in the world, 5,700 meters Zhuomala pass. This is a difficult part of the road to the mountains, the wind is strong, the snow is slippery. But here is also a relatively rich religious atmosphere, colorful prayer flags floating, simmering white smoke rising. Over the Zhuomala Pass, you can see a large and small two green lakes inlaid in the mountains, a certain chickadee actually stayed on the mani pile. Down the mountain first through a very steep 6 kilometers of gravel road, only occasionally passed the sculpture in the overhead circle, proving the tenacious fearless life. The last 11 kilometers finally came to life, accompanied by rivers formed by snowcapped mountains and meltwater, green grass springing up on the ground, the road was flat and occasionally undulating, but most people's physical strength was poor, so the rest of the road was time-consuming and laborious. On the way to the mountain, everyone experienced the scenery of a mountain and four seasons.
