The
first time that the Chinese crossed the border into the Central Asia's
was in search of the fabled celestial horses of Ferghana Valley.This was
a tribal and sometimes treacherous region for them.
These horses, of 'Akhal-Tekke' stock, probably came from Turkmen hundreds
of kilometre's to the west in the plains of Turkestan.
The Chintamani,
or 'Sacred Stone' was carried from Shambhala on the back of a horse. The
golden chest contains the stone of redemption embodying the spiritual
essence & power of the world; recorded in Tibetan Buddist legend.

Over the mountain crags, we see the constellation, 'Orion' ancient warrior
& protector and guardians in the rock faces. The stars and stones
attest to the protection of the sacred teachings. The Cintamani legend
delineates the fulfillment of prophecy as the sacred teaching of fire-agni-yoga
are carried into the world from the mountain heights. In this consummation
the universal panacea, or elixir of truth that this stone embodies, is
given to humanity at large.
