The Tibetan Mastiff

Tibet

The "Roof of the World" is rich in wisdom, treasures and spirituality.

It is the cradle to sapphire waters, blue poppy meadows, crystal mountains, the folklore of turquoise snow lions, and the Land of Snows.

It is the abode to Shambhala. A tranquil haven, a paradise on earth. The isolated and untouched Shangri-La, Land of Sacredness and Peace, secreted away in a mountain valley.
