Dola Holy Mountain

Dola Holy Mountain is located to one side of Sichuan-Tibet road. It is divided into the outer, middle and inside tracks. On the way, walking along the middle track you can see a site for sky burial and many kinds of stone carvings. Standing on the top of the main peak you will have a full view of the whole Dola Holy Mountain. The inside track takes you to the core part of the entire Dola Holy Mountain. You can have a chance to worship and appreciate Buddha statues of Padmasambhava, pagodas and others tourist attractions. The mystery of Dola Holy Mountain is that scattered almost everywhere on the mountain are many Buddha images and Six-Syllable Prayer (Om Mani Padme Hum )carved on pieces of limestones. Due to their age and being subject to abominable weather, most of the stones carvings are weatherworn, therefore the statues and Six-Syllable Prayer (Om Mani Padme Hum) have lost their clarity. A number of people believe that they are the work of nature but many devoted Buddhism devotees believe that they are created by Buddha.
