-[[tsa ri]] - also known as {[[dpal gyi tsa ri tra]]} and {[[tsa ri dgangs]]}; one of the three most important mountains of Tibet. The other two being {[[dgangs dkar ti se]]} or Mount Kailash and {[[la phyi dgangs]]}. While Mount Kailash is certainly the most famous of the three, it is interesting to note that the fourth head of the [['brug pa bka' brgyud]], the famous {[['brug chen pad ma dkar po]], 1527-1592}, in his guide to various holy places {[[gnas yig]]}, regards [[tsa ri]] as the most important of them. {[[tsa ri]]} is supposedly the seat of, among others, the protective deity {[[zhing skyong kun dga' gzhon nu]]}. For more information on [[tsa ri]], see Toni Huber; ''The Cult Of Pure Crystal Mountain'', Oxford University Press, 1999. These three mountains are listed among the {[[gnas chen nyi shu rtsa bzhi]]}, the "24 sacred places of the world" and are often called the "three holy mountains of Tibet". All three mountains are associated with the body-speech- and mind aspects of [[Chakrasamvara]] and [[Vajravarahi]]. The greater part of {[[tsa ri]]} is situated in present-day Arunchal Pradesh, a federal state of India [tsd]
