Mount Kailash Tour
The ancient pre-Buddhist bon religion of Tibet
saw mountains as power points linking heaven and
earth, and Mount Kailash as the soul Mountain of
the kingdom of Zhang Zhung. The struggle for the
hearts and minds of Tibetans between traditional
Bon and modern Buddhist centered on Kailash, and
the story of the contest of Magic between the
Bon deity Naro Bon Chung and the Buddhist saint
Milarepa to decide which cult could claim the
sacred mountain is still told today Legend has
it that Milarepa won, but was magnanimous enough
in victory to bequeath a nearby peak to the Bon-po
and agree that they might still circumambulate
Kailash. |
