reprint of sacred mountain article plus commentary:

Yes. My friend who lives in Mt. Shasta and his girlfriend often do concerts for groups of people from Europe, South America, and parts of Asia and all over the world who come on tours year around to visit the Sacred Mountain Mt. Shasta. It is a world famous sacred Mountain much like Mount Kailash in Asia and much easier to reach because of airlines, rental cars, trains and paved roads. So, people come alone or in groups or in organized tours from all over the world to experience Mt. Shasta once or over and over again through the years much like Tibetan Buddhists try to receive the Kalachakra initiation from the Dalai Lama before they pass on so they can go to Shambala with their souls. Mt. Shasta is indeed a very special place that my parents first took me to when I was only a month or two old then likely in 1948 a few months after I was born in Seattle, Washington. I've been going back regularly or living there ever since.

when I lived in Mt. Shasta it was mostly between 1976 and 1992. But, I still go there at least 4 to 5 or more times a year and stay about a week each time.

Mount Kailash and Mt. Shasta are two of the most considered Sacred Mountains on earth


For example, people come through tours especially from Asia, Europe, south America and from all over the earth to Mt. Shasta. I have a friend who plays music for many of these tours by the way of sacred music in mt. Shasta especially during the Summers. He speaks and writes Sanskrit and can understand some languages like Tibetan and Hindi and Newari and to some degree Russian which are all Sanskrit based languages.

Mount Kailash is regularly circumnambulated by devotees of religions which consider Mt. Kailash a sacred mountain. And Mt. Shasta is considered a Sacred Mountain by At least 6 northern California Tribes of Native Americans as well and likely more than that. It is also considered a Sacred mountain by Buddhist Scholars, Tibetan Lamas and Monks of various Buddhist religions as well much as Mount Fuji is considered a Sacred mountain especially by the Japanese.

So, the idea of Sacred Mountains whether they be the Matterhorn, Mount Arararat or other mountains around the Globe that are sacred to different groups of people everywhere are important to people's spiritual lives worldwide and often people take pilgrimages to their sacred mountains worldwide one or more times in a lifetime.

One more mountain range is sacred to the tradition I was raised in which is the Teton Range of Mountains in Wyoming which is also near Yellowstone Park and other amazing places in that region of the world.
