I want to open up for you the vision of the mountain as the mandala palace of the Superbliss Buddha, Chakrasamvara Father-Mother-united and their divine community of bodhisattva-heroes and yoginis. This Superbliss palace is always here at this mountain, and the door is always open. We are now at the southern gate of the mountain. - Robert Thurman: Circling the Sacred Mountain. Darchen hugs the bottom of the Kailash hills, seen from the Darchen turnoff.
