According to ancient hindu and buddhist cosmology the four great rivers of indian subcontinent, the indus, ganga, sutlej and Brahmaputra, arise from manasarovar, though in reality only sutlej originates at the lake.</p> <p>Accordingly, indian pilgrims bathe in the waters of lake and circumambulates its shoreline. The hindus believe that bathing with the water of mapham tso will drive off avaricious desires, troubled thoughts and past sins. But Tibetans will never bath in the lake and will always circumambulate around the lake. According to tibetan buddhism, lake manasarovar is the water offering for the holy mount kailash and tibetans always try to keep the lake as cleans as they can possible.</p> <p>Along the circumambulate circuit to the lake mapham-yutso, you can notice different interesting Gonpa(temple) like Trugo gon, gotsuk gon and Jiu gonpa. Among them, Jiu gonpa is most familiar to everyone.</p> <p>JIU GONPA: (sparrow monastery) is situated at lake&rsquo;s westside on a small steep hill. Orginally founded by the Drukpa Khagyu lama Kyapgon Gongriwa, inside there is a small shrine and cave where padmasambhava meditate with his consort Yeshi Tsogyal before leaving this world. The most important and holiest thing inside the cave is the granite rocks with clear imprints of padmasambhava&rsquo;s hand and feet. Above the cave, there is a small chamber, with an image of padmasambhava and tomb of lama Tsewang, who was responsible for rebuilding the complex during the 1980s.</p> <p>There is one mast interesting thing in Jiu gonpa is that the lamas(monk) selling a dried fish in the temple. The fishes are collected from the shore of lake mapham-yutso and these fishes all are blinded. All these fishes are believe to be natural death and can be helpful for treating many different diseases. Also monks are selling a reddish sand with small pack about 5-10Y per pack. The sand will vanished after putting on your tongue and the Tibetans believe that the sand was blessing from the lake.</p> <p>You can also seen so many weaterners camoing at the shore of the lake and a poor guesthouse infront of Jiu gonpa. All backside is a village with popular in natural hot spring. Travellers often use to take shower there with about 20Y per time. The Tibetans have also created several open-air stone baths where you can wash yourself and clothes in the hot water.</p> </div> <div class="pagebreak">page:<strong><a href="../Html/20097172453-1.Html">[1]page</a>&nbsp;</strong></div> <div id="txtBottom"> <span>[<A href="javascript:doPrint()"> Printing</A>] [<A class=black href="javascript:window.close()">Closure</A>]</span> </div><!--/ txtBottom--> <div id="next" style="margin-left:20px;"> <div> <p> <span style="font-size:12px; font-weight:bold;">More Information Related to Recycle-bin</span></p> <ul> <xoYu_CMS_CODE:NEWS:NEWS_TOP><a title="Saga Yajiang Yajie Hotel" href="../Html/201042002039-1.Html">Saga Yajiang Yajie Hotel</a><p><a title="Saga Xingyue Guesthouse" href="../Html/201042001756-1.Html">Saga Xingyue Guesthouse</a><p><a title="Saga Hotel" href="../Html/201042001140-1.Html">Saga Hotel</a><p><a title="Temples Pinning down the Demoness" href="../Html/20103154952-1.Html">Temples Pinning down the Demoness</a><p><a title="Tibetan Monasteries " href="../Html/2010315445-1.Html">Tibetan Monasteries </a><p><a title="How to visit a monastery in Tibet" href="../Html/20103154241-1.Html">How to visit a monastery in Tibet</a><p><a title="Being a responsible tourist" href="../Html/20103153599-1.Html">Being a responsible tourist</a><p><a title="Road conditions in China Tibet" href="../Html/201031514123-1.Html">Road conditions in China Tibet</a><p><a title="How to reduce cost of Tibet Tour" href="../Html/20102615053-1.Html">How to reduce cost of Tibet Tour</a><p><a title="Kathmandu EBC Lhasa Tour" href="../Html/20091212343-1.Html">Kathmandu EBC Lhasa Tour</a><p><a title="Kathmandu to Lhasa Budget Tour (Drive in ¨C Fly out): " href="../Html/200912123126-1.Html">Kathmandu to Lhasa Budget Tour (Drive in ¨C Fly out): </a><p><a title="3 Days Lhasa-Shigatse-Dham-Nepali Border Transfer" href="../Html/200911112535-1.Html">3 Days Lhasa-Shigatse-Dham-Nepali Border Transfer</a><p><a title="SG001C Lhasa to Everest Base Camp 7 Days 6 nights Tour by Tourist Bus" href="../Html/200981822121-1.Html">SG001C Lhasa to Everest Base Camp 7 Days 6 nights Tour by Tourist Bus</a><p><a title="Namtso Lake Introduction" href="../Html/2009723193935-1.Html">Namtso Lake Introduction</a><p><a title="Lake Manasarovar Introduction" href="../Html/20097172453-1.Html">Lake Manasarovar Introduction</a><p><a title="Ngari Introduction" href="../Html/2009716223546-1.Html">Ngari Introduction</a><p><a title="Riwoche Monastery" href="../Html/2009714201932-1.Html">Riwoche Monastery</a><p><a title="Lhasa Jiangsu Ecological Garden Hotel" href="../Html/20096384958-1.Html">Lhasa Jiangsu Ecological Garden Hotel</a><p><a title="mount kailash" href="../Html/20095270518-1.Html">mount kailash</a><p><a title="Beijing-Tibet-Kathmandu Overland 10 days tour" href="../Html/20093212570-1.Html">Beijing-Tibet-Kathmandu Overland 10 days tour</a><p></xoYu_CMS_CODE:NEWS:NEWS_TOP></ul> </div> </div> </div> <!--/ leftMainContent--> </div><!--/ leftMain--> <div id="rightMain"> <div id="thisformdiv"> <form action=" http://www.tibettravel.org/tibettravel/order/order_save.asp" method="post" id="thisform" name="myform" onSubmit="return check()"> <fieldset> <legend>Want a Quick Answer?</legend> <p><label for="name" accesskey="9">Name:&nbsp;</label> <input type="text" id="name" name="Fullname" tabindex="1"></p> <p> <label for="email">Email:&nbsp;</label> <input type="text" id="email" name="Email"tabindex="2"></p> <p> <label for="request">Your Request</label> <input type="text" value="3" name="type1" style="display:none" /> <input type="text" value="Quick Book" name="title" style="display:none" /> <label> <textarea name="content" id="text1" rows="3" onBlur="if (value ==''){value='Question not answered?
