The palace has big staircases leading into it, like Mayan pyramid staircases that go through the multicolored arched prongs of crossed vajras. You walk up though them. Outside the southern gate, where we are now, everything is golden-yellow sapphire. As we go round the mountain we circumambulate the mansion, and depending upon our vision, we can go in and out of the doors. Inside the mansion is the Chakrasamvara Superbliss Buddha Father-Mother, two beings in one - Robert Thurman: Circling the Sacred Mountain.
