In Tibetan Buddhism, Mount Kailash, called Tise, is identified with Mount Meru, the mythical center of the universe. It is visualized as the center of a great natural mandala and the home of the deity Chakrasamvara (Demchog). It is also a site where the important poet and spiritual master Milarepa won a magical duel with a Bon practitioner and then meditated. In Jainism, Mount Kailash is sometimes identified with Ashtapada, where Rishabhanatha, the first Jain Tirthankara, achieved liberation.
