Mount Kailash||You should always go there and make a pilgrimage around the mountain at least once

||You should always go there and make a pilgrimage around the mountain at least once. If there is a must-visit place in Tibet, it would be Ali, and in Ali region, I think 'Mount Kailash' is a must-visit. 'Kang', in Tibetan, means snow or snowy mountain, and 'Rinpoche' means living Buddha or great virtue. Mount Kailash, meaning 'Mountain of the Gods' or 'King of the Snowy Mountains', resembles a pyramid and a stupa, and is one of the four sacred mountains of Tibetan Buddhism (the other three are: Mount Kailash, Mount Animaqing, and Mount Jowo). It is also considered the center of the world by four major religions. Tibetans believe that Mount Kailash has a unique shape and material, and even if it encounters the end of the world and is burned by seven fires, it will not be incinerated, and it is the dwelling place of the soul. It is said that circling Mount Kailash can cleanse one's sins in this life, circling 12 times can avoid the suffering of hell, and circling 108 times can 'become a Buddha in this life'. Because the Buddha Shakyamuni was born in the year of the horse, circling the mountain once in the Tibetan year of the horse is equivalent to circling the mountain 13 times in other years, and it is the most effective and meritorious. 💥Most people take two days for the pilgrimage, but if you are physically fit, you can complete it in one day, or you can divide it into three days if you are not so fit. The whole journey is about 54 kilometers. There are about 8 supply points along the route, each about 5 to 6 kilometers apart. Walking on the road of Mount Kailash, even those without faith, when they see those who prostrate themselves and pray for all beings, people who have never been there cannot understand, but those who have seen it will be moved. Just like what was said in the behind-the-scenes footage of the documentary 'Mount Kailash': 'There is no completely correct way of life in this world... The sacred mountains and lakes are not the focus, accept the ordinary self, but do not give up ideals and beliefs, love life, we are all on the road.'
