Lingkor is the name of the major pilgrimage route in Tibetan Buddhism. Lake Manasarovar on Wikipedia. Mount Kailash on Wikipedia.
I have no idea what hong ma ni bei bei hong means. The Chinese characters are onomatopoeia. It's a good guess that it's representing Tibetan sounds or possibly Sanskrit.
This was a request. I'm always willing to fulfill requests if I can.

Hi Joye, you're right - "hong ma ni bei bei hong" is Om Mani Padme Hum, a Buddhist mantra, in Sanskrit. And great work on the translation of Sa Dingding songs :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for translating Sa Ding Ding songs :D
ReplyDeleteMay i request a translation of mama tian na?
I used your translation to make a subbed video of ha ha li li. It would be great to make one for mama tian na too :)
