A Prayer a Day for East Asian Peoples

Nghari (“Nah ruh”) Tibetans live in the far northwest of the Tibet Autonomous Region of China. They are adherents to Tibetan Buddhism. People flock to Nghari’s Mt. Kailash, a holy place for Hindus and Buddhists. It is believed that traveling once around the mountain (a distance of thirty-two miles, or approximately fifty-two kilometers) can atone for a lifetime of sins. They also revere Tibet’s Lake Manasarovar, the highest freshwater lake in the world. They believe it is holy and that bathing in it or drinking its water purifies sins. Additionally, they believe those who trek to the top of the 18,500-foot (5,640-meter) Domna Pass will be born again in the process. Many have never heard that only Jesus has the power to wash sins away and offer new life.

Pray the Nghari know that what they seek is available only through Jesus. Pray they will be born again.
