I arrived back in Mongolia last night, with the hope of getting a China visa. If all goes well, I will then be off to Kailash. Wish me luck.

For people who liked the Demchok Monastery video short, South Gobi, here's a model of the rebuilding project. The monastery was one of 12 created by Danzan Rabjaa, 1803-1856, a contemporary of the 9th Dalai Lama. I made a YouTube video on his main place, "Shambhala in the Gobi," which has breasts of the Mother, and the birth passage. Demchok Hrid, a few hundred miles west along the southern ridge of the Gobi Mountains, has an enormous rock shaped like a penis. All 12 of his retreat centers were built on sited with sexy formations. During his life he wrote several thousand poems, drank three bottles of vodka a day, and made love to 5,000 beautiful women. Such is the legend. I edited Mike Kohn's book on his life, "Lama of the Gobi," back in 2006, in honor of the 150th anniversary of his parinirvana. You can probably find it with Amazon. Anyway, Danzan Rabjaa is the most deeply honored Mongolian saint of the last 200 years, perhaps second in history only to Zanabazar himself. In addition, he write and stages 12 Indo-European style operas, and took them on the road as part of his enlightenment activity. His tulku name is Noyun Hugatht, or "Noyun Incarnation." He was kind of a lama prince of the south and southeast Gobi. For people who love deserts, the Gobi is amazing, bursting with wild flowers in particular seasons.
