Shambhala
In Tibetan Buddhist and Indian Buddhist traditions, Shambhala (also spelled Shambala or Shamballa ; Tibetan : བདེ་འབྱུང་; Wylie : bde 'byung , pron. de-jung; Chinese : 香巴拉 ; pinyin : xiāngbālā ) is a mythical kingdom hidden somewhere in Inner Asia . It is mentioned in various ancient texts, including the Kalachakra Tantra [ 2 ] and the ancient texts of the Zhang Zhung culture which predated Tibetan Buddhism in western Tibet . The Bön [ 3 ] scriptures speak of a closely related land called Olmolungring .
Cintamani
Cintāmaṇi (Sanskrit; Devanagari: चिन्तामणि) also spelled as Chintamani (or the Chintamani Stone ) is a wish -fulfilling jewel within both Hindu and Buddhist traditions, equivalent to the philosopher's stone (Paras Pathar) in Western alchemy. [ 1 ] In Buddhism it is held by the bodhisattvas , Avalokiteshvara and Ksitigarbha . It is also seen carried upon the back of the Lung ta (wind horse) which is depicted on Tibetan prayer flags .Svetoslav Roerich, Portrait of Nicholas Roerich , 1937.

Somewhere high up in the Himalayas, surrounded by a range of snow-capped peaks treacherous enough to defeat even the most intrepid mountaineer, lies a kingdom of unparalleled splendor, peace, and tranquility. This place, known as Shambhala, is home to palaces built of rare stone and pure gold and bedecked with a lapidary’s laundry list of precious gems, glasses, and colored corals.
