Remarkably the sacred mountains of Wutai Shan (said to be the abode of Manjushri) has never been officially deemed a World Heritage site, so the Chinese government is in the process of receiving this designation. Click here to watch a video about Wutai Shan.
That's Manjushri's mountain of Five Peaks, prominent amongst:

In 1987 Jigme Phuntsok Rinpoche visited and planted some objects in the rock for future generations. He also visited the Emei-Shan peak.

Sometime go outside and sit,
ReplyDeleteIn the evening at sunset,
When there’s a slight breeze that touches your body,
And makes the leaves and the trees move gently.
You’re not trying to do anything, really.
You’re simply allowing yourself to be,
Very open from deep within,
Without holding onto anything whatsoever.
Don’t bring something back from the past, from a memory.
Don’t plan that something should happen.
Don’t hold onto anything in the present.
Nothing you perceive needs to be nailed down.
Simply let experience take place, very freely,
So that your empty, open heart
Is suffused with the tenderness of true compassion.
from Tsoknyi Rinpoche's book: Carefree Dignity
