According to Tantric Buddhism, Kailash is the resident of the Buddha Demchok, also known as Chakrasamvara, who represents supreme bliss.

There is numerous site in the region associated with Guru Padmasambhava. Who has practice Tantric in holy place around Tibet. And he finally establishes Buddhism as the main religion of Tibet in the 8th century.

It is said that Milarepa, the champion of Tantric, arrive in the region to challenge Naro Bön-Chung, the champion of the Bön religion of Tibet. The two magicians engaged in a terrifying sorcerers’ battle, but neither was able to gain a decisive advantage. Finally, it was agreed that whoever could reach the summit of Kailash most rapidly would be the victor. While Naro Bön-Chung sat on a magic drum and soared up the slope, Milarepa’s followers were dumbfounded to see him sitting still and meditating. When Naro Bön-Chung was nearly at the top, Milarepa suddenly moved into action and overtook him by riding on the rays of the sun, thus winning the contest. He did, however, fling a handful of snow onto the top of a nearby mountain, since known as Bönri, bequeathing it to the Bönpo and thereby ensuring continued Bönpo connections with the region.
