Lake Manasarovar 03's by frenchfrog

Lake Manasarovar - China, Tibet The pilgrimage around the lake (the Kora) last about from 3 to 5 days. The circuit is a little over 100 Km. Hindus believe that the lake was created from the mind of the God of Creation: Brahma. For a Hindu, drinking even a single drop of its holy purifying waters is believed to cleanse the sins of a hundred lives. Buddhists believe that Maya, the mother of Buddha washed in the Lake Manasarovar prior to the birth of her son. Tibetans believe the lake was born through devotional acts such as giving, personal generosity and from those genuinely seeking enlightenment
