By an uncanny coincidence, Mount Kailash perfectly matches the legend of the mythical axis of the world.
機(jī)緣巧合的是伽拉薩山同世界屋脊神話中的描述非常吻合。
Its four faces are roughly aligned to the compass, and four major rivers flow from its foothills.
它的四個面大體向羅盤的四個方向，還有四條主河從丘陵地帶奔流。
These are some of the most significant rivers in Asia. The Yarlung, which becomes India's Brahmaputra, the Indus and Sutlej, which flow to Pakistan, and the Karnali, a major feeder for the Ganges.
他們是亞洲最重要的四條河，雅魯藏布江形成了印度的布拉馬普特拉河、印度河和流經(jīng)巴基斯坦的薩特累季河，以及恒河的主要支流-----卡那麗河。
Thanks to its connection with the mythical mountain, Kailash is so sacred that it's never been climbed. It's Tibet's most important pilgrimage site.
由于連接著神話般的高山，卡伊拉什山令人感到神圣而從未被攀登過。它是朝圣者在西藏最重要的朝圣點(diǎn)。
For Tibetans, pilgrimage is a journey from ignorance to enlightenment. A pilgrimage around the sacred mountain is believed to wipe out the sins of a lifetime, increasing the chance of a better rebirth.
對于西藏人來說，朝圣之旅是從無知到被教化的過程。環(huán)行圣山的朝圣者認(rèn)為這樣做可以消除一生的罪孽，獲得一個更好的來生。
Most pilgrims time their visit for the most important festival in the Tibetan calendar. For over 1,000 years they have gathered at the foot of Kailash for the Saga Dawa festival to celebrate Buddha's enlightenment.
大多數(shù)朝圣者把朝圣的時間安排在，最重要的藏歷節(jié)日之時。一千多年以來，他們聚集在卡伊拉什山腳。來慶祝薩嘎達(dá)瓦節(jié)，感謝佛陀的教化。
The festival climaxes with the raising of the newly dressed altar, a 25-metre flagpole. The full entourage of Tibetan monks make the most of the occasion, with music, prayers, and blessings.
當(dāng)新裝飾的圣壇上升起25米高的番桿時，節(jié)日達(dá)到了高潮，藏族僧侶的音樂，禱文和祝福，貫穿了節(jié)日的始終。
