-With the transplantation of Vajrayana Buddhism to Tibet, many sacred places there were eventually identified as similar or identical with the Indian sites. A practice that the great [[Sakya Pandita]] greatly criticised. The sacred place of [[Lapchi]] for instance, one of the main practice spots of [[Jetsun Milarepa]], was said to be the same as the Indian Godāvarī. [[Tsari]] was equated with Devīkoṭṭa or Devīkoṭi, [[Mount Kailash]] with Himāvat or Himālaya. In most sources, Oḍḍiyāna is said to be situated in the Swat valley in present-day Pakistan. However, in the biography of the Indian Siddha [[Buddhagupta-natha]], we read of him travelling there and clearly situating it in the Gazhni region of present-day Afghanistan. Kāmarūpa corresponds to most of present-day Assam and Sindhu is said to be situated in the Sindh region of Pakistan. These are however to be taken with a pinch of salt. Neither early Indian masters nor Tibetan ones, either of the past or the present, seem ever to have completely agreed upon those locations.
