Адамов Пик

О месте: Адамов Пик

Adam's Peak is a 2,243-metre-tall (7,359-foot) conical sacred mountain and place of pilgrimage in central Sri Lanka, famous for the Sri Pada, a 1.8 m (5 ft 11 in) hollow, footprint-like rock formation near the summit whose name is also used for the mountain itself. The formation is identified differently by adherents of several religious traditions: in Buddhist tradition as the footprint of the Buddha; in Sri Lankan Hindu tradition as that of Hanuman or Shiva; and in some Islamic and Christian traditions as that of Adam or St. Thomas the Apostle. In Buddhist sources the mountain is also known as Mount Malaya, particularly in the Mahayana Lankavatara Sutra, which states that the Buddha preached the sutra on its summit and describes the mountain as the abode of Ravana, overlord of the Rakshasas and ruler of Lanka.
