Deity riding a white yak, oath-bound by Padmasambhava. Also refers to a mountain in the Yarlung valley of Central Tibet, where the first king of Tibet is said to have descended from the sky. [AJP] from The Great Image; ISBN 1-59030-069-6

The four grand snow mountains of Tibet are:

The eight great caves are:

The renowned four lakes are:

Yamdrok Yutso
Trisho Gyalmo, which is the same as Lingtso Ngonmo
Tso Mapham and
Namtso, to the north. (JOKYAB)

The five lands are, according to the Chronicles of Padma:

In the center is the Sabbu land of Shang.
In the Kongpo district to the east is the Jonpa land.
To the south is the Sibtsen land of Mon.
To the west is the Phagri land of Go.
To the north is the Droma land of Kyi. (JOKYAB)

The three valleys are, again, according to the Chronicles of Padma:

To the southwest is the secret land of the Dremo Valley [Sikkim].
To the northwest is the secret land of the Khenpa Valley.
To the northeast is the secret land of the Lungsum Valley.

About the secret countries and great districts, the Chronicles of Padma further say:

To the southeast is the secret country of Padma Ling.

This and the others are the great districts. The other districts I have not been able to identify from any reliable source, so please include these here as these become established. Thank you. (JOKYAB)
