We went to this place called Breat Rock. Women go and throw milk on it. It stunk like sour milk. The reason it is white is because the milk dried on it.


People tied scarves to breat rock.

We had to stike this bell three times before we could enter Shambhala.


Shambhala is one of the largest energy centers on Asia. We laid on the ground and soaked up the energy.


This is the ovoo in the Shambhala land.


There are 108 stupas in Shambhala land that connect to other worlds or demensions. Danzan Ravja was a famous Buddhist poet and author. People in Mongolia believe that he was a living god. He could fly to tibet and back. He said that when he died people could come to this land and be with him.

We had a Russian jeep drive us around the desert. It was fun.
