As per Buddhist texts, Mount Kailash (Kailasa) is known as the mythological Mount Meru. For some Buddhist traditions, Kailash is a major site of pilgrimage and is central to their cosmology. Numerous sites in the region are associated with Padmasambhava, whose tantric practices in holy sites around Tibet are credited with finally establishing Buddhism as the main religion of the country in the 7th–8th century.
“Conventional wisdom says a single circuit of Mt. Kailash wipes out all the sins of a lifetime; 108 Parikramas guarantee enlightenment. A ritual bath in the holy Mansarovar Lake transports pilgrims to the paradise of Brahma, and a sip of its water absolves one of the sins of countless lifetimes.”
