"Secrets of Tibet"

After returning from the third expedition, Ernst Schaefer was engaged not only in hardware intrigues, but also in rather unusual research. Let's dwell on them in more detail.

Among the materials brought to Germany from Tibet was a huge collection of unique plants and crops. On arrival they were sorted and described in detail. In 1943, Ernst Schaefer, in a summary report, set out the tasks for further experiments with the Tibetan flora:

Our aspirations have always been associated with the goal of collecting everything that could be useful for our own people. The 1,500 barley crops mentioned here, which are mostly the result of primitive breeding, can have a number of very important hereditary factors - for example, drought resistance or frost resistance.

Thus, Ernst Schaefer also understood Tibet as an enclave flora, which has adapted perfectly to the hostile high-mountain environment. From the point of view of agronomy, crossing Tibetan crops with European ones was not only logical, but also very profitable. The instillation of special properties in European cereal crops, by design, was to make them more unpretentious and increase productivity.

The leadership of the SS expected from Schäfer the appearance of frost-resistant and fast-growing "miracle varieties" of barley and wheat. Their cultivation would allow to begin the "Germanization" of Eastern Europe, which was to be built up with the same type of agricultural settlements. Himmler demanded that cross-breeding of different crops would allow German peasants to have multiple crops a year. However, it was not only the colonization of the East. The Reichsfuehrer consoled himself with the conceited thought that under his patronage Germany's food problem would be solved, to which Adolf Hitler himself attached special, almost mystical significance. It was the SS who were supposed to bring the supply of the Third Reich with grain to a fundamentally new level.

In the spring of 1942, Heinrich Himmler ordered Ernst Schaefer, as head of the Ahnenerbe department, to prepare for the formation of the Institute of Wild Plant Varieties. However, it quickly became clear that this project was difficult to implement. In those days, Schaefer's "Asian" department was heavily influenced by the above-described confrontation with the leadership of the Filchner Foundation. The emergence of a new institute threatened no less problems, only this time botanists could come out against the SS scientists. After lengthy negotiations and consultations, it was decided to limit the organization of a special institution that operated under the Berlin Kaiser Wilhelm Society. The new structure, which was proudly called the Institute for the Study of Plant Cultures, was led by botanist professor Fritz von Wettstein. Himmler had to put up with the adjustment of grandiose plans, since the professor was directly subordinate to the powerful imperial minister of food and agriculture.

Realizing that it was futile to enter into another political conflict, Ernst Schaefer tried to avoid competitive situations with botanists. In October 1942, he began negotiations with representatives of the Reich Ministry of Agriculture, the Kaiser Wilhelm Society of Berlin, and the new institute to be located in the Tuttenhof. It was then that he was clearly given to understand that instead of an institute, he could only count on the research department of wild plant crops within the Ahnenerbe. Moreover, the emphasis in the forthcoming work was again placed on the eastern regions, and priority was given to the Caucasus. How the planned cooperation of all these structures with Ahnenerbe was to be carried out in practice remains unclear. One gets the impression that he simply did not exist: Schaefer calmly handed over samples of the crops he had collected to Tuttenhof and did not meet with either von Wettstein or representatives of the Ministry of Agriculture again. When, at the end of November 1942, the SS Main Office announced that the Reichsführer, together with the Kaiser Wilhelm Society of Berlin, planned to create an “Institute of Grain Breeding, extremely important for the entire German economy,” Schaefer’s name did not even appear on the lists of employees. The well-known botanist Heinz Brücher became the head of the institute.

Another project of Ernst Schaefer was related to horse breeding. Even during the second expedition, he very carefully studied the horses living in the wild. After the start of the war with the Soviet Union, the Tibetologist had the opportunity to try himself as a zoologist-breeder: he had to breed a new breed of horses that were not susceptible to the harsh Russian winters.

Not much material has survived on this topic. Most of them came out of the walls of the Institute for Military Scientific Targeted Research, created at Anenerbe. Some documents were addressed to the SS Main Economic and Economic Directorate, commanded by Oswald Pohl. At the same time, Ernst Schaefer maintained contacts with Rudolf Brandt, who helped him select the necessary scientists and specialists.

Selection experiments were undertaken in 1942-1943. At the same time, Schaefer relied on Mongolian horses and Przewalski's horses. Where selection work was carried out can only be established approximately, but it is known that it was about the occupied eastern territories. In 1944, with the retreat of the German army to the west, Ernst Schaefer decided to transfer all the horses to the stud farm in Poznań. From there they were to go to Hungary, where three special enterprises had already been prepared.

Another major project of Ernst Schaefer was the film released following the results of the third expedition. During the trip, Ernst Krause filmed almost every step with a portable movie camera. Immediately after returning, the idea arose to create a documentary film from the footage (more than 50 hours), which would increase public interest in Tibet.

In the autumn of 1939, the film materials were transferred to the Berlin company Tobis Film for development and processing. Schaefer was interested in a quick release of the film on the screens, if only for mercantile and financial reasons, but the tape had to be censored beforehand.

The entire subsequent history of the creation of the film can be traced through the correspondence between Ernst Schäfer and Rudolf Brandt, the head of the personal staff of the Reichsfuehrer SS. From the very beginning it was clear to them that there was no way to keep the work on the film materials secret. As a result, Brandt warned Helmut Schreiber, who headed Tobis Film, that there should be no official mention of the film until the Reichsführer SS personally gave the order to hold the premiere. Not only Schreiber's work was to be kept secret: at the end of January 1940, Himmler issued a directive in which he demanded that the text of all publications and reports on the Tibetan expedition be coordinated with him personally. As a result, during the development of the project of the Sven Hedin Institute, information about the third Tibetan expedition of Ernst Schaefer was limited to general declarations and statements about its sensationalism. However, in all publications there was a lack of factual material. In some places it was briefly mentioned that the expedition members were planning to prepare a film, but no one could say anything about the date or the approximate content. Schaefer had to be very careful, as he was constantly invited to various radio programs, offered to give interviews, asked to write an article or read a report. After consultations with Himmler, the Tibetologist in almost all these cases refused all tempting offers.

It is clear that such a ban hurt the pride of the scientist. So, for example, the Brussels Encyclopedic Society in the spring of 1940 invited Ernst Schaefer to make a report on the past expedition and the research planned for the future. Schaefer immediately informed the Reichsführer SS of the proposal. Despite the fact that there was no official ban on reading reports abroad, Himmler asked the researcher to show up ill and politely decline the invitation. As a result, Rudolf Brandt transmitted the following information to Brussels:

Unfortunately, currently time dr Schaefer suffers from a serious eye disease, for the treatment of which he was sent to a Munich clinic. For this reason, the preparation of the report is temporarily unavailable.

To be more credible, the Tibetologist had to find some kind of eye disease that is widespread in the East. Even in this situation, Heinrich Himmler wanted everything to look realistic. As a result, to Schaefer's great regret, the general public never learned about the essence of his research. Perhaps at such moments, Schaefer regretted that he was under the patronage of the Reichsführer SS.

Despite the strict ban on reporting any information about the upcoming documentary, in the spring of 1940 there was a leak. An article appeared in one of the Hamburg newspapers, which reported that a film dedicated to the Tibetan SS expedition led by Ernst Schaefer was being edited at the Tobis Film studio. Himmler was furious. On March 12, 1940, he wrote to Schaefer and again demanded secrecy.

It was at this time that a large-scale military operation in Tibet was being prepared. Keeping the fact that the film was being prepared a secret acquired a military-tactical significance, becoming a precautionary measure against the actions of British intelligence.

Ernst Schaefer refused to take responsibility for the leak. Then Himmler forbade Helmut Schreiber to make the film: he was afraid that other leaks might occur. Rudolf Brandt sent a notice to Tobis Film that information about the Tibetan film is confidential, so the film company's employees are responsible for taking precautions. In response, Schreiber broke down and clarified the situation. It turns out that the information got into the newspaper after a report in a narrow circle, which Schaefer did in Hamburg. The Tibetologist received a severe reprimand.

In June 1940, Ernst Schaefer sent the first report on the activities of the Ahnenerbe department headed by him to Rudolf Brandt. In it, the Tibetologist described in detail the work on the film, as well as the principles of interaction between his department and Tobis Film. At that time, the film lacked only synchronous sound and background music. In general, a full-length popular science film was obtained from the presented material. Not without a sense of pride, Schaefer cited Helmut Schreiber's words that this is "not just a good film, but an achievement, the best German film." The Tibetologist also reported that the film would be ready for distribution in October 1940. To start its demonstration, only the permission of the Reichsfuehrer SS was required. In addition, Schaefer emphasized that it would be a good idea to prepare a special propaganda article dedicated to the Tibetan film.

Schaefer believed that the screening of the film would stimulate a wave of public interest in Central Asia, and this, in turn, will become a prerequisite for more active funding of his department as part of Ahnenerbe and support for other initiatives. Helmut Schreiber was interested in the box office that, with the right presentation, this film could collect. But the directive received from Himmler crossed out the hopes of both. Chief of the SS again forbade drawing the attention of state bodies and the European public to the problems of Tibet.

After reviewing the report, Brandt again drew Schaefer's attention to maintaining complete secrecy:

Please take care that neither from your pen, nor from the pen of any member of your expedition, articles and materials appear that have not been agreed with the Reichsfuehrer SS. The Reichsfuehrer SS considers it inadmissible that our enemies should be able to establish a connection between Dr. Schaefer's trip to Tibet and the possibility of a repeat expedition to this region for military purposes. For this reason, the film can not appear in the near future at the box office. <… > As soon as the Reichsfuhrer considers that the time has come, he will immediately take advantage of your proposals regarding the organization of advertising for the film. Until this moment, you should not talk about the film either among your acquaintances or among newspaper workers. <… > Reichsfüpep is looking forward to the private screening that you have to do for him after the tape has been edited.

Such a “closed film screening” really took place. On June 10, 1942, the prepared material was shown to the Reichsfuehrer in the circle of his close friends. Fun fact - the demonstration took place in the sacred for the SS castle Quedlinburg, where the remains of Heinrich I Ptitselov are allegedly buried. But we remember that Heinrich Himmler considered himself the reincarnation of this German king.

The film "Secrets of Tibet" nevertheless became an event, but much later, when it passed through the Popular Science Film Center of the Imperial Propaganda Ministry. In December 1942, Minister Joseph Goebbels first saw the 105-minute release version of the film and gave it a very appreciated. The premiere was to take place on January 16, 1943, in the presence of Sven Hedin, who was arriving at the opening of the institute named after him.

One of the Ahnenerbe employees, who worked in the Schaefer department, shared his impressions with a friend:

The film made a splash no less than the Schaefer expedition itself. The tape is magnificent, in some places I was suffocated with delight. It is understandable why, for political reasons, it has not yet been shown to the general public. In connection with the opening of the Institute of Asian Studies, this film was officially demonstrated for the first time. I perceived it not as a popular science, but as a full-length feature film. Distinguished foreign guests are also impressed. Everyone honored Sven Hedin. Then a big press conference was given at the Ministry of Propaganda for the foreign press. A much-conceived promotional campaign for the film will soon kick off. Almost all newspapers have photo reports or past reports of the expedition. All newspapers, even tabloids, write about Tibet.

Indeed, a lot was written about the film in German newspapers. At the same time, reprints of Ernst Schaefer's past essays often appeared, in which he spoke about the cultural and everyday life of Tibet. In total, about three hundred articles were published, not counting small notes, about the film "Secrets of Tibet", but not one of them even mentioned the Department of Central Asia and Expeditions, not to mention the "Ahnenerbe".

Schaefer himself got involved in advertising the film. He attached great importance to the fact that his name and the names of the members of the Tibetan expedition appeared as often as possible on the pages of newspapers. After obtaining Himmler's permission, Schaeffer drew up a detailed plan of how he thought the film's distribution should be arranged. In particular, he listed the cities in which, on the eve of the film screening, he should make short reports. In some cases, other members of the Tibetan expedition could replace him. The premiere of the film in the capitals of the German states "should have been carried out in close cooperation with all SS structures." Schaefer constantly focused on the "political and propaganda significance of the film," which was supposed to help cover the financial costs of his department at Ahnenerbe. But first of all, he wanted "Secrets of Tibet" to be shown in cities that were university centers.

As expected, the release of the film on wide screens greatly contributed to the growth of German society's interest in Tibet. For the first time, the German public was invited to see for itself authentic footage from the life of a country lost in the mountains somewhere between India and China. And due to the fact that the release of the film "Secrets of Tibet" coincided with the Battle of Stalingrad, it also performed a considerable psychotherapeutic function: National Socialist propaganda needed a reason to once again approve the achievements of the "glorious Germans". And even if in this case they were not soldiers, but scientists, in the situation of an impending national catastrophe, the difference between them did not matter much.

The distance between the Mexican pyramids and Easter Island, as well as between the Egyptian and Tibetan pyramids, is exactly the same. All this suggests that someone from above took part in the construction of the world pyramid system.

The main purpose of the erected pyramids is the connection of space with our planet. Scientists were able to prove this by drawing an axis on the map from Easter Island in the opposite direction and at the same time got into the mountains of Tibet, Kailash. And if you draw a meridian from Mount Kailash to the side Egyptian pyramids, then again you find yourself on Easter Island.

The secrets of Tibet are still not fully disclosed. Take, for example, Mount Kailash. This Mountain peak recognized as the main Pyramid of Tibet. Kailash differs from other mountains in its layered structure.

As you know, the Tibetan group of pyramids is recognized as the largest in the world. globe. They are located in strict dependence on the four cardinal directions.

Tibetan pyramids differ sharply from other world mountain statues. Their main difference lies in the peculiar stone structures located among the pyramids and having a concave or flat surface.

Such surfaces are called "mirrors". An old Tibetan legend says that there was a time when the sons of the Gods descended from heaven to Earth. The sons were endowed with the amazing power of the five elements, which helped them quickly build a giant city. According to Eastern religions, it was in this city that the North Pole was located before the Flood.

According to legend, Mount Kailash was also built using the power of five elements: water, air, fire, wind and earth. Therefore, it is considered the holiest place on the planet.

The energy of Tibet is something inaccessible and inaccessible to the human mind. Take, for example, the famous "Valley of Death", located at an altitude of 5680 meters. It can only be crossed by the sacred road. As soon as you leave the sacred path, you will immediately fall under the influence of tantric power.

Stone mirrors also stand guard over the Death Valley. They are able to change the course of time for wanderers in such a way that they can turn into deep old men in a short time period.

As mentioned above, the secrets of Tibet lie in stone mirrors Oh. Scientists still have not been able to find an explanation for the ability of stone mirrors to change the course of time.

Among the pyramids of Tibet there are several such mirrors. One of them, the largest, has a height of eight hundred meters. This mirror is called the "Stone Palace of Happiness". According to legend, it is a place of transition to parallel worlds.

If you follow the logic, then you can see that the energy of Tibet is hidden in these stone mirror sculptures. All this is perfectly confirmed by the story told about mirrors by Kailash.

From his words, it turns out that all mankind has its own spatial great mirror - the sky above your head. If the sky is destined to roll up into a scroll in order to destroy the "bad time", all of humanity will begin to age rapidly.

Studies have proven that the substances in this supreme medicinal mushroom prevent the aging process, improve the state of the immune system, increase resistance to various pathogenic bacteria and other microorganisms, harmonize metabolic processes, increase the body's adaptive capabilities, and have antioxidant activity.

Cordyceps grows in high-altitude difficult-to-access areas at an altitude of up to 4000 meters above sea level on the sunny treeless sides of the mountains. Growing in conditions of oxygen starvation and a harsh climate, cordyceps is able to adapt, and over the period of a two-year development cycle accumulates extremely a large number of biologically active components and nutrients.

Lingzhi mushroom - contains a huge amount of medicinal components, such as polypeptides, polysaccharides, amino acids, triterpinoids, alkaloids, proteins, trace elements, etc. 13 amino acids have been isolated from the highest medicinal mushroom lingzhi.

Medicines based on lingzhi enrich blood with oxygen, expand the coronary artery of the heart, stabilize the activity of the heart, treat coronary heart disease, prevent strokes and myocardial infarction. Successfully used in the treatment of liver diseases, neurasthenia, gastritis, bronchial asthma.

Mycelium and fruiting bodies of the lingzhi mushroom contain amino acids, carbohydrates (reducing polysaccharides and sugars), proteins, peptides, volatile essential oils, vitamins, trace elements (manganese, magnesium, calcium, molybdenum, potassium, zinc, sodium, copper, sulfur, iron, germanium ), triterpenes, including steroids, alkaloids, glycosides, lipids. Germanium in the composition of carboxyethyl - germanium - sesquioxide. The most valuable substances of the highest medicinal mushroom lingzhi are triterpenes and polysaccharides.

It grows on peach, apricot and other deciduous trees in the especially clean regions of China.

Agaricus brazilian - native to the rainforests of Brazil and has long been known as the "sun mushroom of the Aztecs". However, it has attracted the attention of scientists only recently due to its unique antioxidant and oncoprotective properties.

The extract also strengthens the body's defenses, improves blood circulation, regulates cholesterol levels in the blood, and has a pronounced fungistatic and fungicidal activity.

Propolisis an aromatic substance that bees collect from the buds of trees and use to ensure sterility in the hive. In its structure, it is a dense heterogeneous mass containing resins, balms, essential oils and wax. Propolis is known for a wide range of effects on the entire body: it has bactericidal and antitoxic properties, has an anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect, stimulates a weakened immune system, harmonizes the endocrine system, restores the functional activity of the liver and improves digestion.

Kupena fragrant- well known for thousands of years. In Tibetan medicine, it was used for many diseases, primarily for diseases of the liver, kidneys, and lungs. The extract also served as a remedy for senile infirmity, diseases of the lymphatic and circulatory systems. Modern science has proven that fragrant kupena extract stimulates metabolic processes and strengthens the immune system. It promotes tissue repair, is used in the treatment of gastrointestinal diseases, improves the functioning of the cardiovascular system, and regulates blood cholesterol levels.

Epimedium or Goryanka- an unpretentious perennial plant with delicate flowers - is mentioned as a medicinal plant in the Canon of Medicinal Herbs, dating from the 4th century BC. BC. Epimedium improves metabolism and normalizes blood pressure, strengthens the immune system and increases the vitality of the body.

Once in Kathmandu, where the vast majority of excursions to the Himalayas and climbing high peaks, you are immersed, on the one hand, in a crazy world, and on the other, in a blissful world. Here they are - manifestations of the dual nature of the Himalayas. Contrary to the popular misconception about the hostility of the mountains to all living things, their southern slopes are covered with dense coniferous and deciduous forests, decorated with multi-colored carpets of fragrant beautiful flowers. Up to a height of 2500 m, the slopes are cultivated almost everywhere. Plantations of spices, fragrant tea and coffee, citrus groves are spread on the man-made terraces that encircle the mountains with shuttlecocks. Nepalese cultivate rice on irrigated lands. And only at the top mountain range, not lower than the level of 5000 m, there are eternal snows.

Snow necklaces change color depending on the position of the sun, appearing to observers in gold, then in pink, and sometimes in purple "dress", they are not constant like anecdotes about blondes. However, the glaciation belt, captivating with its beauty, is a serious obstacle on the way to the peaks, which has been considered the haven of the gods since ancient times.

The Nepalese believe that the great god Shiva lives on Mount Gaurishankar with his wife and daughter, and on Kailash - the patron of wealth Kubera and the Thunderer Indra, who gives rain and fertilizes the earth.

In Hindu mythology, Kailash symbolizes the masculine principle, and Lake Manasarovar at its foot is feminine. This is the highest freshwater lake in the world, created, according to legend, by the god Brahma. Its waters cleanse from all the sins of hundreds of past human lives. Surely, many have heard about Shambhala, the most mysterious riddle Himalayas. Along with many legends about the mystical country, there is also a philosophical concept of the enlightened state of the soul, the unity of man with God. Scientists in search of Shambhala explore the remote corners of mountain ranges, descend into gorges and comb deserts.

Myths of the past give rise to modern legends

So, Hitler mistakenly considered Shambhala a place where all the forces of aggression and power are concentrated. In 1939, Nazi ideologists sent an expedition to the Himalayas, which faced several political tasks, including the search for Shambhala. The results were recognized as brilliant, and all materials were strictly classified.

If you look closely at the landscape of the Himalayas, you notice how, as if from nowhere, the outlines of monasteries, temples and stupas erected everywhere appear. Starting from the Kyunglung caves carved into the limestone, where the ancient yogis mastered the science of controlling the body and mind, and ending with the majestic temple complexes, the inhabitants of the snowy peaks filled almost all these buildings with a deep spiritual and religious meaning.

Bright colors in the surrounding landscape are brought by garlands of multi-colored prayer flags that beat under the gusts of wind like birds caught in snares. As you approach Lhasa, there are more of them - every traveler wants to pay his respects to these places. Finally, behind the pass, a view of the city and the majestic Potala soaring above it - one of the most grandiose buildings in the Himalayas - opens up. Potala Palace - Buddhist temple complex, was the residence of the Dalai Lamas until the Chinese invasion of Tibet in 1959. Located at an altitude of 3700 meters. Its name comes from the eponymous legendary mountain, where the bodhisattva Chenrezig, who is represented on Earth by the Dalai Lama, lives. The Red and White Palaces reach 115 meters in height.

Here, in the alpine coolness, under the supervision of strict mentors, future monks were brought up 50 years ago. Maternal joy knew no bounds if the boy was taken from the family to the monastery, since this honor did not fall to everyone. The novices slept on the bare stone floor, covered only with a thin blanket, comprehended the theory and practice of Buddhism, participated in exhausting religious rites, and ran the household.

Subsequently, they became monks, healers, seers. The high mountain climate does not indulge in comfort, and the main food is tsampa, a nutritious drink brewed from barley, tea, and seasoned with vegetable oil and salt. Tsampa gives strength, nourishes the brain and subdues sexual appetite. This is probably why in these places many monks observed the vow of celibacy without much difficulty.

A lot has changed in half a century. The Chinese have built high-rise buildings, supermarkets and luxury hotels, operating monasteries have become a bait for tourists. Luxury cars scurry along multi-lane highways and public transport, and hardened in body and spirit, people from these places went to spread the teachings of the Buddha throughout the world.

Unlike Lhasa, the cult complex of 34 Buddhist, Hindu and Jain caves, the crown of which is the Kailash Nath temple, has survived unchanged to this day. By the complexity of the work, this temple, completely carved from the rock by masons, is compared with the pyramids. Ancient architects cut an 80-meter trench in the shape of the letter P in the mountain, and the monolith remaining inside was turned into a carved temple as high as a ten-story building. The entire stone building around the perimeter is covered with ornaments on the themes of myths about Shiva and his wife Parvati. However, the luxury of Kailash Nath is the exception rather than the rule. The bulk of Buddhist shrines, like stars in the sky, scattered among the mountains, are small temples adjacent to the shacks of local residents.

Electricity, mobile connection and the Internet is an unaffordable luxury here.
The mention of the Kedarnath settlement lost in the Himalayas at an altitude of almost 3600 m can be found even in the greatest epic Mahabharata: it was here that Shiva, having turned into a bull, went underground. Since then, Kedarnath has become a place of mass pilgrimage. Located in the gorge of the Mandakini River, surrounded on all sides by impregnable peaks, Kedarnath, with its small, like toy houses and small temples, keeps its secrets among eternal fogs. And only unpretentious rhododendrons, modestly shining on the slopes of the mountains, enliven this harsh "Gothic" landscape.

The meeting of the sunrise in the mountains fills the whole essence with calmness and serenity, therefore you somehow naturally enter a state of absolute silence. Being here, already on the second day you begin to understand why locals become contemplatives, and their philosophy is based on the desire for the Void, which makes it possible to understand the essence of things, regardless of their external manifestation.

The Himalayas have become the stronghold of many beliefs and religious schools, which are based on an extensive pantheon of gods and are based on the concept of the rebirth of the soul. Buddhism, Hinduism, Tibetan Lamaism, Bon-po - they all coexist surprisingly tolerantly in these places. They have common shrines, the same paths laid in the mountains, one bottomless and deep sky above their heads. Despite the fact that the Himalayas are inhabited by more than a hundred different nationalities, the inhabitants of the snowy peaks are similar to each other and constitute a group of so-called mountain people, who are fundamentally different from the inhabitants of the plains. In tiny fields, they grow unpretentious crops and herd livestock. Their dependence on the outside world is reduced only to the need to buy salt and oil to fuel the lamps. The Himalayans do not want to go down to the plains, where, in the atmosphere of the eternal race for money,
intrigues and passions for petty pleasures, they feel out of place.

The life expectancy of highlanders often exceeds a hundred years. In the evenings, people gather to read prayers, sing and dance to authentic performances of music from the distant past. The instruments here are the most unusual: the sarod is a kind of shortened version of the sitar; tabla and damaru - varieties of drums, and the body for the latter are two human skulls; dunkar - shell wind instrument; Kanling - a pipe made from a human tibia. Kanling is considered a ritual instrument, and it is not allowed to play it “just like that”. Traveling sadhus contribute a lot to mixing and constant "communication" of cultures. Their modest living needs are met by the inhabitants of the village, for whom it is a great joy and honor to receive a holy person in their home.

Sherpas (Tib., a person from the east) stand apart from other Himalayan ethnic groups. Many centuries ago, they came from Tibet and settled in the region of Mount Chomolungma, the Khumbhu Valley, which became their second home. Heart of Khumbhu - Namche Bazaar village, the largest locality Sherpas. Cheerful Sherpas found their calling in conquering the peaks, which is taboo for other local peoples, since, according to their beliefs, the mountains belong to the gods, and only to them. It is said that those born here have three lungs in their chests. Since childhood, Sherpas have been grazing herds near glaciers at an altitude of 5000 meters throughout the summer. With their parents, they go through passes that inspire fear even in the most courageous Europeans.

It is not surprising that it was the Sherpa guide Norgay Tenzing who led the expedition of the New Zealander Edmund Hilary on May 29, 1953 to the top of Chomolungma (Tib., Divine). The Nepalese name for the mountain is Sagarmatha (Mother of the Gods). She is also known under another Tibetan name Chomo-Kankar (Queen of snow whiteness). Until 1850, the Europeans simply called the peak - Peak-15, after which it was included in the catalogs as Everest - in honor of the head of the English topographic expedition, George Everest. About 500 people try to climb the Roof of the World every year. For all the time, only 3 thousand people managed to do this, almost 200 steeplejacks died.

Today, Chomolungma, according to some famous climbers, has become "a place of pilgrimage for tourists, adventurers and simply not quite healthy people who are hungry for glory."

Tibet is perhaps one of the most mysterious countries worldwide. Many have heard about her amazing yoga, secret practices of magic, the legendary country of Shambhala and much more. But few people know that this mystical place is fraught with another secret - its hidden sacred valleys(in Tibetan - "bayul"), inextricably and deeply connected with the area of the esoteric.

What are hidden valleys?

According to Tibetan legends, hidden valleys are areas where highly spiritual people live without sorrows and worries, fully devoting themselves to the knowledge of the universe through meditation and reflection. In other words, hidden valleys are paradise, where pleasant music is heard everywhere, and everyone who is lucky enough to get here simply bathes in sensual pleasures, eats delicious food, contemplates beautiful landscapes, and so on.

Naturally, what the hidden valley looks like varies from one legend to another, filled with new details and shifting emphasis either towards spirituality or towards material wealth.

But in any case, it is believed that only good people who have good karma and are distinguished by their compassion, kindness and mercy can get into the hidden valley. Everyone else will not be able to get into these Amazing places, even if they are in front of their noses, because the hidden valley “protects” itself, since it is located in the spiritual plane, as if in some kind of parallel space, but, nevertheless, having a very real projection onto one or another territory.

Geographic Facts About Hidden Valleys

It is interesting to note that the hidden valleys are not a figment of the imagination of the Tibetans, but a fact that has a very real geographical basis. So many famous travelers, wandering around Tibet, indeed, among the high deserts and lifeless mountain slopes discovered amazing beauty green valleys, apparently fed by hot springs. They contrast sharply with the harsh surrounding landscape, which suggests that these places became the prototype of the legendary hidden valleys.

Hidden valleys and their connection with terma and tertons

The Tibetan hidden valleys keep many secrets, not only geographical, but also esoteric, since they are inextricably linked with such amazing phenomenon Tibetan mysticism, like terma - sacred treasures and, of course, with tertons - spiritual seers who have the gift of finding "hiding places".

Terma is unique phenomenon Tibetan mysticism, practically not found in other esoteric traditions. Literally, the term means "hidden treasure." These treasures can be books, religious objects, new teachings, guidebooks, and so on and so forth. Termas were “hidden” in other planes of reality or with the help of magic hidden from the consciousness of people until a certain time, when they are discovered by a “treasure opener” (terton), who has the ability to see through reality, or when a certain hour comes and humanity is ready to accept a new spiritual gift for your development.

Very often a "hidden" valley or cave became only after some mystic hid terma in it. Especially in the field of creating hidden valleys, the outstanding spiritual master, the central figure of Tibetan Buddhism, the founder of the Nyingma tradition, the tantric guru and magician Padmasambhava, distinguished himself. It was he who hid a lot of spiritual treasures (terma) in the mountainous areas, and this was the reason that the very territories on which they were located began to have magical properties, became places of power and received additional “dimensions”.

Hidden Valley - sacred place

Due to the fact that the secret valleys are inextricably linked with the spiritual treasures hidden in them, such places received a special status and turned into sacred places. It was believed that any person entering such a territory was spiritually transformed and, with a certain inner purity, could even receive enlightenment or some kind of superpowers. Therefore, it is not surprising that the inhabitants and yogis, adventurers and scientists spent a lot of effort in order to discover the hidden valleys. There were periods when it was somewhat reminiscent of the Western boom of the gold rush, the search for treasures. But… Tibetan esotericists claim that not all terms have been discovered yet and not all hidden valleys have been revealed to the world yet.

Hidden Valleys - Variants of Paradise

Legends say that in the hidden valleys there are healing springs, giving strength and health, warmth always reigns there and the earth bears fruit, and spiritual treasures are hidden there - terma, accessible only to spiritual seers-tertons. The very stay on the territory of the hidden valley gives a person enlightenment, longevity and magical abilities.

It was also believed that one who reached the hidden valley and stayed there would never again be born in the lower realm of existence. Although sometimes you can find beliefs that the inhabitants of the hidden valleys, living almost like gods, at the end of their earthly days go to hell.

Hidden Valley Guides

Naturally, descriptions of hidden valleys encouraged many to find these amazing places - some sought to find long-awaited spiritual salvation there, and someone to get rich, because almost all the legends about such places said that there are countless treasures in the form of gold, silver and various precious stones. Therefore, it is not surprising that over time, various guide texts appeared, indicating routes and describing the obstacles that the traveler must pass in order to achieve the desired goal.

Here is an excerpt from one such guide: “There is a blue cave that looks like a tigress, it has four corners and four sides. Above it there are three other caves. They contain ancient coins, four turquoise stones, two bowls of skulls full of gold, a leather bag with ancient zi stones, and written instructions on how to find eighteen kinds of hidden treasures.”

Yogic guides to hidden valleys

And yet, no matter how attractive the hidden valleys are for people who dream of getting rich, the main “consumers” of guidebooks were yogis, moreover, most of these texts were written by yogis for yogis. Hence their imagery and diversity of meanings. Most of the instructions in them should have been understood allegorically and only in states of heightened awareness, and therefore it was argued that where the gaze of an ordinary person meets only rocks, glaciers or forest thickets, yogis will see something different, more sublime.

Many researchers argue that the guidebooks to the hidden valleys were nothing more than treatises containing instructions on revealing the inner light, their original nature, and they have nothing to do with specific geographical realities.

Hidden Valleys and Reality Levels

Many mystics claim that the hidden valleys, although they are geo-referenced, are in fact, as it were, a “superstructure” above reality, that is, they are astral regions, parallel realities, accessible only to highly spiritual personalities. That is why beliefs claim that the hidden valley can be inhabited by ordinary people. But they will not realize that in the same place there is another level in which there is its own, special life. This is what complicates the search for such places, since they do not lie in the plane familiar to the layman. So even if a simple person finds a hidden valley, he will still not see anything, except that he will feel a certain elevated state of soul.

Not only is the hidden valley itself a mysterious place, but some mystics argue that even in the valley itself there is an even deeper sacred level of being, it is to him, as the only real reality, that the spiritual practitioner should strive - to penetrate even further into the secret hidden valley. There he will find deeper spiritual knowledge that will allow him to practice the highest levels of meditation and quickly achieve enlightenment. To discover this level, you need to gain a special vision or awareness. And at the deepest level, the valley is no longer outside, but in the heart and mind of a yogi who has ceased to feel any differences between himself and the world around him.

Emphasizing the great importance of the inner level of the hidden valleys, enlightened yogis and lamas say that even the most subtle contact with the hidden valley, even the thought of it, can dissolve the negative thoughts and emotions that cause suffering. If you know how to use the invisible power of the hidden valley, you can make your meditation extremely effective. An ancient guide says that it is much better to meditate for one year in such a place than for a thousand years in some other place. The greatest treasure to be found in the hidden valley is nirvana itself.

The Biggest Secret of the Hidden Valley

If you look at the phenomenon of the hidden valley from the point of view of spirituality, then after analyzing all the legends, tales and "guides" it becomes clear that the most important treasure that the traveler will find there is his own original nature, and all its levels are the versatility of it. own being.
