2015-06-22

LHASA, June 22 (Xinhua) -- China on Monday opened a new route via the Himalayan Nathu La Pass for Indian pilgrims traveling to Tibet, in a bid to facilitate their trip and further promote religious exchanges between the two countries.

The first group of Indian Buddhist followers entered southwest China's Tibet Autonomous Region through this pass at 10 a.m., starting a 12-day pilgrimage to Mount Kangrinboqe and Mapam Yumco Lake in Tibet's Ngari Prefecture.

The Nathu La Pass sits 4,545 meters above sea level and is wedged between Yadong County of Tibet's Xigaze Prefecture and India's Sikkim State.

China decided to add the new route for Indian pilgrims to Tibet in September last year when Chinese President Xi Jinping paid a state visit to India.

Yadong is a good place.

Nathu La Pass was closed as a result of India annexing Sikkim, because Nathu La pass border belongs to Sikkim border.

India has a lot of good luck that she keep on conquering other states and white man keep quiet.

Then many Hindu clowns will start masturbating wiki and come to forum telling the whole world, the reason this piece of land belongs to India.

So long as national borders are protected well and laws are effectively utilized, no harm in letting civilians do cross border tourism. This is a sign of confidence and development.

This is an economic and cultural statement, not political.
 
If the parties exchange, Do you believe
Indians will be hopping with anger, blaming the government betrayed national interests,
Then will say tha tChinesespies..........
 
The opening of Nathu La pass means that China agree India annex of Sikkim is a done deal.

The loser is China, and worse Tibet.

Dalai Lama must be very painful for the development.

If Qing dynasty is able to send expeditionary force and win the British, Sikkim will be China land.

I do not see it means anything, frankly. Respecting people's religious sensitivities is only an act of good will. There is high-level exchange between China and Japan, but it does not mean DiaoyuDai is a done deal.

Indians are famous for their paranoia.

They are so scared of China after getting humiliated in 1962.

Psychological scars are still there for many Indians.

I view this as a good move because it shows China has no fear of being spied or whatever.

Mount Kailash (also Mount Kailas; Kangrinboqê or Gang Rinpoche; simplified Chinese: 冈仁波齐峰, Gāngrénbōqí fēng, Sanskrit: कैलाशKailāśa) is a peak in the Kailash Range (Gangdisê Mountains), which forms part of the Transhimalaya in Tibet. It lies near the source of some of the longest rivers in Asia: the Indus River, the Sutlej River (a major tributary of the Indus River), the Brahmaputra River, and theKarnali River (a tributary of the River Ganga). It is considered a sacred place in four religions: Bön, Buddhism, Hinduism and Jainism. The mountain lies near Lake Manasarovar and Lake Rakshastal in Tibet.

In Hinduism
According to Hinduism, Lord Shiva, the destroyer of ignorance and illusion, resides at the summit of a legendary mountain named Kailāśa, where he sits in a state of perpetual meditation along with his wife Pārvatī. He is at once the Lord of Yoga and therefore the ultimate renunciate ascetic, yet he is also the divine master of Tantra.

According to Charles Allen, one description in the Vishnu Purana of the mountain states that its four faces are made of crystal, ruby, gold, and lapis lazuli. It is a pillar of the world and is located at the heart of six mountain ranges symbolizing a lotus.

In Jainism
In Jainism, Kailash is also known as Meru Parvat or Sumeru. Ashtapada, the mountain next to Mt. Kailash, is the site where the first Jain Tirthankara,Rishabhadeva, attained Nirvana/moksa (liberation).

In Buddhism

Tantric Buddhists believe that Mount Kailash is the home of the Buddha Demchok (also known as Demchog or Chakrasamvara), who represents supreme bliss.

There are numerous sites in the region associated with Guru Rinpoche (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 CE.

Lake Manasarovar (also Manas Sarovar, Mapam Yumtso; Tibetan: མ་ཕམ་གཡུ་མཚོ།, Wylie: ma pham g.yu mtsho; Nepali: मानसरोवर ; Chinese: 玛旁雍错) is a freshwater lake in the Tibet Autonomous Region, China, 940 kilometres (580 mi) from Lhasa. To the west of it is Lake Rakshastal; to the north is Mount Kailash.
In Hinduism
In Hinduism, Lake Manasarovar is a personification of purity, and one who drinks water from the lake will go to the abode of Shiva after death. He is believed to be cleansed of all his sins committed over even a hundred lifetimes.

Like Mount Kailash, Lake Manasarovar is a place of pilgrimage, attracting religious people from India, Nepal, Tibet and neighboring countries. Bathing in Manasarovar and drinking its water is believed to cleanse all sins. Pilgrimage tours are organized regularly, especially from India, the most famous of which is the yearly "Kailash Manas Sarovar Yatra". Pilgrims come to take ceremonial baths in the cleansing waters of the lake.

Lake Manasarovar has long been viewed by the pilgrims as being nearby to the sources of four great rivers of Asia, namely the Brahmaputra, Ghaghara, Indus and Sutlej, thus it is an axial point which has been thronged to by pilgrims for thousands of years. The region was closed to pilgrims from the outside following the Battle of Chamdo; no foreigners were allowed between 1951 and 1980. After the 1980s it has again become a part of the Indian pilgrim trail.

According to the Hinduism, the lake was first created in the mind of Brahma after which it manifested on Earth.[3] Hence it is called "Manasa sarovaram", which is a combination of the Sanskrit words for "mind" and "lake". The lake is also supposed to be the summer abode of the hamsa. Considered to be sacred, the hamsa is an important element in the symbology of the subcontinent, representing wisdom and beauty.

In Buddhism
Buddhists associate the lake with the legendary lake Anavatapta (Sanskrit; Pali Anotatta) where Maya is believed to have conceivedBuddha. The lake has a few monasteries on its shores, the most notable of which is the ancient Chiu Monastery built on a steep hill, looking as if it has been carved right out of the rock.

The lake is very popular in Buddhist literature and associated with many teachings and stories. Buddha, it is reported, stayed and meditated near this lake on several occasions. Lake Manasarovar is also the subject of the meditative Tibetan tradition, "The Jewel of Tibet". A modern narration and description of the meditation was made popular by Robert Thurman.

In Jainism
In Jainism, Lake Manasarovar is associated with the first Tirthankara, Rishabha.

It is amazing that long time ago without remote sensing satellite, the holy books are able to document that Kailash is the birth place of Indus, ganges and brahmaputra.
 
you chinese piece of shit should know that the Tibet is illegally occupied by china, still there is a freedom movement in tibet. and you chinese are killing them and burning them alive even tho that is a peaceful protect march.
the people of sikkim don't have any objection for annexing to india, then some @$$ holes like you after taking blowjoe from some Pakistanis bark in here without any proof. so go and jurk off you dickhead.

Becareful what you are speaking, he is Singaporean.
 
Is your flagger right or false? Why not expressing some your appreciation we provide the convenience with the pilgrimage?
"anikke olichu kalikkenda kariyam illa"
i do appreciate the Chinese gov. for what they had done for the indian pilgrimage. i was just replaying to his irritating and insulting statements on India. i was going to say a "thank you".. suddenly i saw his idiotic post and i just got pissed off..
 
Westerners will say something when India's GDP rises from 2 trillion to 10 trillion some day and becomes a threat to US.
Humans cannot live for 200 years so no one here will see that --if that will even happen.

I do not see it means anything, frankly. Respecting people's religious sensitivities is only an act of good will. There is high-level exchange between China and Japan, but it does not mean DiaoyuDai is a done deal.

I don't think this is a sign of confidence--more stupidity. By letting the pilgrimage, it means China acknowledge Sikkim is part of Indian territory.

Indian just come into China via Sikkim and no Indo-Sino border there and of course checking their passport is necessary.

Other pilgrim routes are blocked by flood or earthquake and the religious exchanges which read spying must be countinued.
