It is really a jade ice sculpture.". On the shrines of many believers in Tibet, most of them offer the photos of Kang rinpochin together with the Buddha statues. He is not only a symbol of natural beauty, but also a symbol of faith. It is said that when Sakyamuni was on earth, the gods, Bodhisattvas, gods, human beings, Asuras and musicians of heaven gathered around the holy mountain. It was the year of the horse. Therefore, the year of the horse became the standard year of okarinpochin. There are also legends about the year of the horse in Benbo, Hinduism and Jainism.
