Mount Kailash

The White Mirror Ngari, Tibet

By: Nyima Samkar

This book is a travelogue of Mount Kailash covering almost all the historical and spiritual places of the area in detail. Through my reading I felt that if Gedun Chophel, the most famous Tibetan scholar of the 20th century, added a chapter on visiting Mount Kailash to his Grain of Gold (gTam rgyud gser gyi thang ma), it would resemble this very book: Mount Kailash : The White Mirror, Ngari, Tibet. This region is the origin of many Asian rivers that eventually reach the Indian Ocean. Mount Kailash and Manasarovara are sacred to all the Asian religions -Bon, Hinduism, Jainism and Buddhism. Particularly it is the site of great spiritual miracles performed by Kargyupa masters such as Milarepa, including the battle between Milarepa and Naro Bonchung which is recounted in this book.

A Brief History of the Kingdom Guge

History of Ngari Rosary of White Pearl, A Youngster’s Ornament

By: Nyima Samkar

During the period of disintegration of Tibet, in 923, the Water-Sheep year, Kyide Nyimagon, the undisputed lineage-holder of the Three Great Kings of Tibet, went first to Pureng Ralairu. In 934 of the Wood-horse year, Rala Kharmar was built. Gradually, Nyizung Kukhar was built, and after introducing a new law, Purang, Guge, Maryul and other areas were brought under his control. His son Thri Tashi Gon built Guge fort after carving the blue slate hill of Guge. Since then, 26 Kings ruled there for more than 700 years forming thereby a Guge kingdom of what came to be known as the Cap-size Small Kingdom in Upper Tibet. The author was born in Ruchang, Ngari of Tibet. He escaped in 1959 and sought political asylum in 1960. Graduated from Tibet Homes Foundation in 1973 and obtained BA Degree from Punjab University in 1977. He joined CTA as a junior clerk on 15th June 1977 and at the time of his retirement from CTA on 15th December 2012, he was working as general secretary. He has also authored other books like History of Ngari, Rosary of white Pearl a youngster’s ornament in Tibetan and Mount Kailash the White Mirror, Ngari Tibet in English.
