It was the centre of the sky,
The middle of the earth and the heart of the country.
An enclosure of glaciers, the head of all rivers.
High mountains, pure earth, an excellent country.
A place where men are born heroes,
Where custom is perfected, where horses grow swift.


Bon legend of Tibetan beginnings
