Island of Ode - Located in the south of the Small Sea between Cape Shara-Shulun and the Kurmon Bay on the West Bank of Lake Baikal, just 1 km from western coast Olkhon Islands. Small uninhabited island It has an elongated shape, with a length of 2.9, 0.6 km and it is literally possible to look around with one edge to the Reduce.
There is almost no vegetation on it, but Susliki, seagulls and snakes live. The main attraction of the island of ogoy is the White Buddhist Suburge or Stupa Enlightenment, it is for the sake of her the island tourists with an excursion. (And indeed, not on Susilkov, they go here 8)
How to get to the island of ogoy on Baikal
As I wrote above, you can get to the island of ogo with a tour of the s.
- In the summer, it goes here on the water on ships and boats, and in the winter, tourists will be brought along the ice - on the "tablet" or private transport.
- The average cost of 1-1.5 thousand per person. By time, if you go with Olhon and back and spend about 2-3 hours there, the excursion takes almost all day.
Come here with tourists like small motorboats and large cruise ships.
I do not know why, but the ship's passengers removed the shoes before climbing the mortar, according to some beliefs and canons of "magic" of enlightenment will not act on those who reached her in shoes, and maybe everyone just wanted to walk for people With the local bosomes and stones on the boss, which I do not know, I do not know.
But the sand on the island of the ogus attracted my attention much more than other people's shoes, and all because it is here an unusual pomegranate. And this is not the coincidence, the sand on the island of the ogy is really from the most real pomegranates, I know exactly when I was in the Baikal Museum in Listvyanka about this scientists they told me and I even looked at such sand into a microscope. But now I look, so, with the naked eye and show you. 8)
The road from the shore, where the boats stick and ships are small, but quite cool, that's why I was surprised that people went barefoot, I would honestly risked.
Well, at this time, it was very wind at that time, it was difficult to resist the legs, in fact, it can be seen in this ritual construction to which believers and those who observe Buddhist rituals as a tourist expirers, taking their "Hadaki".
How can you make sure the xadakov in this case are not only colored ribbons, but someone even sacrificed with her cap.
Stupa enlightenment or suburgan
Enlightenment Stupa is the main and only sight of the island of the island of ogy (in addition to Suslikov, naturally), it is located on the most high point Islands at an altitude of 512 meters in the center of the island.
Builded a stue of enlightenment in 2005 on all Buddhist canons, the construction was led by Lama from Bhutan. This stupa has a three-step structure with a crowned dome and spire, the height of the entire stupa is 8 meters.
Stupa enlightenment and conquest of demons contains a lot of Buddhist relics, among which the statue of the female form, the mother of all Buddhas of the only mother of Troma is naked, water from all seas and oceans, earth from all continents, weapons, sacred manuscripts and many other shrines.
They say, in combination with the special clean power of the island of ogo, where people never lived, have a tripled magical force. Yes, and in Buddhism, enlightenment plays a special role, personifying the main purpose of the Buddhist life path - self-knowledge and achievement through this complete enlightenment.
The special mission of all Buddhist stories is the neutralization of negative energy and the removal of any obstacles in achieving the intended path. In Asia, Suburgans are common everywhere, even on Baikal, it is not uncommon, let us recall at least somburgan near the Khuymsky Dacan.
I'll show you some more photos of the island of ogy:
Rituals on the island of ogy
Naturally around so iconic place There are necessarily their own mysterious rituals, the observance of which leads to the execution of all desires. After all, there are not so much to just look at the very stuway tourists go, but to touch the shrine and at least a little bit to increase their luck.
Buddhists believe that bypassing around Surgar or Sacred mountain vertices Helps to cleanse the negative energy and "recharge" energy sacred place. Tourists do not argue and everything as one observes rituals.
Who as he says, someone says that 9 times you can get around the stupa, so that you want to come true, but the most stupid believers say that it is necessary to bypass around the stupa at least 108 times and certainly the barefoot, then the most enlightenment will come.
It is believed that Stupa is capable of a literal sense to "dissolve" negative energy and enable the power to fulfill the desires of people. Three Circle Goroo should go around the stups clockwise. The first circle should be followed for forgiveness, the second round with gratitude for everything you have, and the third round should be going to conceive your most cherished desire.
For a lot of reliability, and to follow all the rules of this ritual, around the stupa should go barefoot and turning his palms to the sky, to repeat about herself a mantra of the Buddha "loving eyes": Manya Pad Hum with the wishes of happiness to all living beings on the planet.
In addition to the steps itself on the island there is a small lighthouse and an observation deck.
In the center of this stone platform carved straight on the stones of a Buddhist symbol, similar to the mark "Zero kilometer" next to the Red Square in Moscow.
No one really explained what it was, but tourists readily also make it imposing to the spirits of the island at this place.
And in front of the stupa, almost a real "sofa" with a carpet twinned on it.
Also on the island there is a kiosk with souvenirs, but at the time of our visit he did not work.
On the island of ogo we spent about 2 hours, I had enough time to get around the whole island almost around the perimeter (because of the strong wind I didn't want to raise much), and bypass the stupet itself and take a picture.
So now I can safely tell what happened on the island of ogo and saw one of the famous sights of Baikal with his own eyes. Well, and several times around the stupa, I also walked around that I will refuse from my good luck? No, no, in no case! 8)
Stupa enlightenment is a unique structure on the island of ogo in the Strait of the Small Sea of \u200b\u200bBaikal attracts the attention of tourists and pilgrims from around the world. It is believed that Buddhist stups are intended to dissolve all negative obstacles in the world, favorably contribute to the prosperity of the area, where they are constructed and benefit people, especially those who visit these stupas consciously. The most zealous believers seek to bypass the shrines 108 times, which is believed to guarantee them liberation and purification. The definition of enlightenment on the island of ogy symbolizes the purpose of the Buddhist path - recognition of his own mind, full of enlightenment.
Stupa on Wow is constructed with compliance with all the necessary rules and with the implementation of all rituals and practices during construction. In the process of construction over the stage, bright rainbows were repeatedly recorded, and one of them arose in front of builders from the base of the stupas and the other end connected the island of ogy with Olhon. The place for the construction of the Stupa on Baikal was not chosen by chance. The blessing of the construction of the Stupa was bestowed by many Lama and the high-dimensional representatives of all denominations.

Water excursion program for the Small Sea:
Day 1
Meeting place: P.Shir / P. Kharana. Group collection at 11:00. Landing on the ship / boat.
We go to the largest island of the Small Sea - ogo. The ogy is reminded in the form of Olkhon Island, which, in turn, repeats in the form of Lake Baikal! Place sacred and very unusual, possesses powerful energy!
In 2005, on the island of ogoy was erected buddhist stupa Enlightenment - overcoming obstacles. In her, various items, carrying the great meaning in Buddhism, were laid. The main relic is a figurine that resembles a female silhouette. This figure personifies the mother of all Buddhas.
To the stage you need to pass by bare feet, having pre-dipped in the water sacred Lake. Walking around the stupa 33 of the circle, you will feel the enlightenment of the mind, understanding situations and problematic issues that did not give you peace before.
But be careful! Being on the island of ogy, in no case cannot disturb the purity and harmony of this sacred place. You can not take and move the stones / objects, tear flowers, squander, swear, etc.
After visiting the island of ogo, we go to healing sources, where you will have a unique opportunity to taste mineral watercontaining silver.
Lunch on the ship or in a cafe on the shore.
On the way back, you will have the opportunity to admire at surprisingly proud birds - cormorants. For a long time, Baklanov was not on Baikal, and only in last years These always long-awaited guests began to visit the Siberian Lake.
If you're lucky, then all your favorite nerves will be friendly welcome you, basking in the sun in your favorite places.
Return to the huzhir approximately at 17:00 local time.
Meals: Lunch.
And Olkhon island begins at 10:00, or even before, we were converted accordingly. The only excursion that began at 11:00 was called "a trip to holy sources", its price is 1300 rubles / person. This is one-day water excursion on the ship with a stop on the island of ogy and visiting holy sources
We were offered a transfer to the pier for 200 rubles. (!?) Or walk on foot. 200 rubles. - Somehow it is very cool, until a walk of 20 minutes walk on the street. Baikal. We, of course, decided that we would do on foot. At the pier there was already a person forty, after some time two ships came up, we all loaded and despair. I will not describe myself a trip on the ship, it needs to be tested yourself, everything is very beautiful and difficult to describe around.
Single Council - Take Water Excursions Warm Things: Jackets, Sweaters, etc. The wind on the water is very cold, although we were at the end of July, and in general there were warmth + 25-27 on the island. And you still take a swimsuit with you - the route of excursions sometimes passes through the warm Lakes of Baikal, where you can get enough.
An hour later, we moored to the island of ogo. We had a young girl with a guide (as the schoolgirl turned out yet, the name of her Alyona or Lena, her parents hold the Internet cafe "Rights"), which explained that O-inade is the holy place and from here it is impossible to carry out: stones, flowers (especially red).
Only, as in all holy places on Baikal, leave the gifts to local gods in the form of coins, sweets, cigarettes, someone even left sneakers ...
There is a Buddhist stupa on the island, which was built by the wife of a local oil magnate on his own initiative. The stop of the Dalai Lama himself was consecrated. Inside her there are holy relics of Buddhism, weapons of famous personalities, in particular, the checker of Kolchak, and some more values \u200b\u200bfrom the drag. Metals. Stupa is a message to people (or someone else, can aliens) of future generations about our civilization. Although I feel weak that there is a drag. Metals - stupa would in this case have long been disassembled on bricks.
The guide also said that here on this island near the stupa can be cleaned spiritually from different experiences, excitement, problems, etc. To do this, you need to go around the mortar of the path 8 times around the footpiece in advance. Because All problems and experiences are probably a lot, and the weather was good, the majority agreed to "arrange a dance" around the stupa. I did not feel much cleansing, maybe later aware ...
Then the dinner time came. We were fed with freshly booths from the famous Baikal Omul and a salad of vegetables. Good lunch, everything was delicious.
The next point of our water excursion on Baikal - Mainland and holy sources. We promised real Buryat poses on the mainland, which are here that they are preparing better than anywhere else. After another hour trip on the ship, we landed on the mainland, where we were expected by a big bummer. There was no posture, and in general there was no food, and for drinks were launched such a price, which was missing every desire to drink. I wonder what the price of poses would be? On Olkhon, this is 30 rubles / pcs. Here, probably, all 50-60 would be.
For about 35 We rose to the mountains to sources. The road took place through the coniferous forest: fresh air, around the mountain, Baikal is covered behind. Hand so reaches the camera, although Baikal photos are already done more than a hundredBut it is still impossible to stay.
Well, finally, holy sources. There are two of them: one female, another male. Water in them, of course, healing. Helps from diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. One source helps women, another - men. Near them immediately lined up the queue from those who wish to cure their stomach. One guy got from a female source, he was told, now everything, the breast like a woman will grow up. They scored bottles, drunk. After a long road in the heat, cold water came to the way.
On the way back, the girl's guide promised us swimming in the warm lake, but because Nobody said to us with a friend that you need to take a swimsuit and smelting with you, we didn't threaten it. While everyone has bathed, I wrote those lines that you read now.
But our journey through Baikal is coming to an end, more precisely the journey itself, but only one of the excursions. Everyone is returned from the lake, and we despair home. Most of this excursion on Baikal, I liked the trip myself on the ship (the ship, of course, it is strongly said, something like Barcas).
Before that, we drove from the ferry to the huzhir by bus, now almost all the way on the ship. Opened from the sea beautiful views On Olkhon Island and Mainland. Photos can be found in the gallery. Sources and stupa, of course, interesting, but the journey on the ship on Baikal is something that is impossible to describe in words !!!
