Once finished the ascent, was acceded to a wide terrace, in which limits started the slope
of a mount of the oriental extreme of the system Altyn Tagh. The place was presented isolated
likewise, but with evident signals of the humana activity. It surprised us all, in fact, the

presence of an imponent Chortens, sacred Tibetan monument of squared base and strangled
body in form of campane, usually topped with a truncated cone, in which sumitt is placed the
image of a Deity. Put upon the superior cone of the Chortens, was outstood the horrible statue
of a Goddess countlessly multiplied on herself and unfolded in hundreds of similar profiles:
innumerable faces, legs and arms, converted her in a whirlwind of Presences, that’s to say, they
undoubtedly meant Her Omnipresence. The Goddess expressed just one Aspect repeated
untiringly: such aspect, isolated, showed her smiling us compassionately while she was dancing
over a bleeding heart; she wore her hair down touched by a Queen’s crown, an eye in the midst
of the brow, and the eyes in the palm of the hands and in the soles of their feet. She had been

Clemency in the Valley of the Immortals.

We all acceded, without imagining until what details of the hidden plot could reach the
sharp vision of the kâulika monk.

–Yesterday I said to both of You that if you could see the subtle world you would warn
that we were going towards the Sanctuary of Hsi Wang Mu –remembered Bangi–. Today we
have advanced stretch and we were approaching more to Her, the Mother of the animal
part of man. Are you impressed for her image? Well, what would be of us if you are capable to
lift up the veil of Mâyâ and contemplate Kuan Yin in all his Intelligence and Majesty, on his
total Merciful Omnipresence? I’ll tell you: you could not be able to resist the Gaze of the
Goddess of the Animal Love, the Compassionate of the Heart!

–And you could not do it because her gaze has many eyes, hundreds of eyes, millions of
