CCLD02-054 - Appeasement of Tshong Tshongma

At over 4000m, Tshong Tshongma is the most sacred mountain in Eastern Bhutan. It is accessed for only four months in each year due to local customs and myths. The local communities believed that the mountain hosted the palaces of Tsong Tshongma. Before local appeasement of the local deity in the region, they first have to appease the Tshong Tshongma. To appease the Tshong Tshongma, it is necessary to raise three flags, light three sticks of incense, and offer wine to him before appeasing one's local deity. In this recording, Mr. Karma Wangdi is talking on the way to appease Tshong Tshongma. Tashi Tshewang made this recording. Also present is Gajay.. Language as given:

宗宗玛山（Tshong Tshongma）海拔逾4000米，为不丹东部最神圣的山岳。受当地习俗与神话传统约束，该山每年仅开放四个月可供民众朝拜。当地民众认为，此山乃是宗宗玛（Tshong Tshongma）的宫殿居所。当地民众在祭祀本区域的地方神祇前，需先向宗宗玛山举行安抚献祭仪式。若要向宗宗玛山行安抚献祭之礼，需先竖立三面经幡、点燃三炷香并敬献酒水，随后方可祭祀自身所属的地方神祇。本次录音中，卡玛·旺迪（Karma Wangdi）先生正行进在前往安抚献祭宗宗玛山的途中，该录音由扎西·切旺（Tashi Tshewang）录制，嘎杰（Gajay）亦在场。录音语言按原文标注。
