The Sacred Mountain&Lake in Tibetan
Divine peaks and sacred waters weave the sublime sanctuary of the snow lands. Walking in circles of devotion not seeking dominion through ascent. Every humble bow dissolves the boundaries of self. Nature transforms from object of lonely extraction into a realm embracing human awe and tender mercy. This becomes the world's most treasured wisdom.
Manasarovar
In Tibetan, Manasarovar means "the eternal, invincible turquoise lake." In Sanskrit, it translates to "the lake of consciousness." From above, its natural outline resembles a heart—making it truly the "sacred lake of the heart."
It is known as the mythical companion of Mount Kailash and a place of perfect serenity. May this pure, untouched lake reflect the truth within each of us.
Every year, thousands of pilgrims flock to the sacred lake, drawn by its extraordinary power. In the sacred presence of this spiritual lake, people find profound spiritual fulfillment and redemption.
Legend has it that amazonite possesses power and harbors good fortune. It forms in volcanic rock, a blue-green feldspar akin to jade. Often called the “Stone of Hope”.
Lhamo La-tso
Legend has it that this lake is the resting place of the spirit of protector goddess Palden Lhamo. Traditional Tibetan pilgrims believe, when one prays sincerely and gazes silently upon the lake, one can see in the lake, both our past and present lives.
Yamdrok Lake
Yamdrok Lake, known in Tibetan as the "Turquoise Lake," is said to be the embodiment of a dragon princess. Its waters are strikingly clear and emerald-green.
In the heart of Yamdrok Lake, there's a smaller lake within the lake where minerals have concentrated, forming a heart shape. It is known as the Heart of Yamdrok Lake. Its color changes with the seasons, a unique romance of nature.
Rhodonite, also known as the "Stone of Love," derives its name from the Greek word "Rhodon." In legend, rhodonite symbolizes love and healing, confidence and balance. Due to the presence of manganese, it appears pale pink or rose red, with a delicate and smooth touch, much like jade.
When the cold wind on the plateau sweeps by, what stirs is a gentle, pink heart, serene and simple.
Kokonor Lake
Kokonor Lake, In Tibetan: མཚོ་སྔོན་པོ། — “The Blue Lake”; In Mongolian: ᠬᠥᠬᠡᠨᠠᠭᠤᠷᠬᠥᠬᠡᠨᠠᠭᠤᠷᠬᠥᠬᠡᠨᠠᠭᠤᠷ — “The Blue Sea”.
Since ancient times, Kokonor has been a sacred lake, revered by peoples of Tibet, Mongolia, the Western Regions and Central Plains. She is deep, wide, and still —like the heart of a sapphire sea. We extracted the shape of the lake as a contour and inlaid with natural azure agate.
No meeting is by chance. Past lives, present lives, and lives yet to come. Whatever tomorrow brings, live fully in the precious now.
