China news report (2007): A reporter shot on video the footage of six water monsters swimming at Tianchi crater lake, Changbai Mountain, Jilin Province, North East China.
When zoomed in, the monsters looked like sea leopard and seemed to move in the water with their flippers.
The eye-witness said initially he thought it was a stone, then five more emerged, and each of them was as big as a goat.
The monsters moved around Tianchi for around one and a half hour, sometimes emerging sometimes submerging, when they swam the maximum speed can be as fast as a normal motorboat.
Tianchi is China’s largest and deepest volcanic crater lake.
The earliest sighting of the water monster was reported some 150 years ago. But in the recent 20 years, they appear even more frequently, and this is the fourth time they appear in this year (2007) alone.
Last night I was receiving treatment from Dr Jiang when he told me about this. He said it very non-chalantly as it was just common knowledge to ppl of that area. Dr Jiang hails from Jilin Province so he knows about this since young.
I found this very interesting as it is the first time I’ve ever heard of this.

Local people made these representations of the monsters in the lake..it is as they have seen many times. Very unusual and splendid looking animal.
Tianchi lake in the winter…
So pristine and clean looking….
Wow…fantastic Tianchi lake, a place I would like to visit in the future…
天池水怪
“天池水怪”据目击者描述出现于中国长白山天池，长白山天池坐落在吉林省东南部，是中国最深的湖泊，也是中国与朝鲜的交界之处。而最深的湖泊与长白山特殊的政治地位更为天池水怪添加了许多神秘的色彩。
出现记录
1980年的10月9号的《光明日报》刊登了一篇题为“天池怪兽目击记”的文章，其大概内容是作者在1980年8月21号的早上四点多钟，他在长白山天池顶部看日出，突然发现在远处的水面上有一个物体，体大如牛、头大如盆，并且游动极快，身后还拖着一条长长的喇叭形划水线 。此报道一出，让人百思不得其解。长白山的天池是一个火山口湖，山高水冷，里面的营养含量非常低，过去人们都认为在天池里面基本没有什么生物，为什么突然之间出现了这样一个巨型生物？至今都无法解开这个谜，于是天池有“怪兽”的传闻流传到当今。中央电视台10套《走进科学》已经播出了关于天池水怪解密之旅。
2002年7月6日在长白山北坡，两名当地人发现“水怪”。
2005年7月7日，吉林省抚松县一位名叫郑长春的人，在举家游览天池时，无意中发现天池水面出现了一个奇怪的黑影，这一瞬间被他摄入了镜头。尽管有人认为那不过是一截漂在水面的木头，但是郑长春确信那就是一个生物……
2005年7月21日，怪物又在天池北岸现身。目击者叫黄祥童，在他的描述中这是一个仿佛鲸或潜艇一样的巨型生物。据其回忆，这是一个头部出水两米多高的巨型怪物。一位七旬老者周凤瀛宣称：从六十年代起，自己曾不止一次亲眼看到天池中的“怪兽”，并在1980年的一次近距离接触中看清了它的模样！两个年轻人说，这是一个头部巨大、能长时间蛰伏水中的生物，并可能带有攻击性！
2005年7月28日在长白山西坡又有更多的人目击了这一不明生物。吉林长白山国家级自然保护区管理局松江河旅游分局孟凡迎局长说，2005年7月25日下午2点左右，在长白山西坡山顶有一些游客目睹了“天池水怪”。在山顶一位经营出租望远镜的董先生说，当时“水怪”出现在朝鲜一侧的水面，离岸边大约一百多米远。只见它窜上来又下去，就像海豹戏水那样，给人的第一感觉是鱼在飞跃。从望远镜里看，样子黑乎乎的，不是很大，看不清是什么东西，有的说它像恐龙，有的说像大铁锅，有的说像水牛，但绝对不是鱼。它在水中游弋了十多分钟后消失。当时在山上的一二百名游客也都看到了。
2013年7月29日，长白山天池火山监测站的工作人员介绍了他拍到的疑似“天池水怪”。据介绍，7月27日5时许，他和同事一起上山，到长白山北坡天池水边监测温泉水温，取温泉溢出气体样本。取完样后，他突然看到远处原本平静的天池水面上，突然被什么东西划开了一道“V”形水波。在水波最前方，仿佛还有一个“黑点”露出了水面，疾速向前游着。于是马上取出随身携带的相机，进行拍摄。由于武成智的相机拍不了较远距离，所以无法确定到底是何物。在他连拍的一组照片中，有两张比较清晰：一张疑似“怪兽”头部露出水面呈黑色，另一张是沉入水下，只剩划水痕。此外还有一张的“黑点”，在电脑上放大后，对拍下的相片查看发现，一张照片上有疑似“水怪”头部露出水面，模糊的轮廓颇像小鹿的头部及脖子露出水面。
2013年11月24日14时50分，近百名游客在天池湖边目睹了水中有两只“水怪”在环形游动嬉戏的情景，从游客拍的照片上看，有一处十多米长的水波和像是“水怪”露出的白色脊背，长约1.5米至2米的“水怪”，一前一后自东向西，向神仙湾子游动。“水怪”在距海西步道约600米的湖面上开始嬉戏游动，随后，“水怪”在湖中呈环形游动，一会上浮，一会下沉，水面上荡起巨大的环形波浪，“水怪”在天池湖面游动持续了10分钟左右后，潜入湖中不见踪迹。
调查猜测
远古生物
观察者注意到长白山天池“怪兽”与苏格兰尼斯湖水怪异常相似，而后者曾至今被人疑为远古生物的后裔。
特殊位置
《走近科学》的通过调查发现，天池中有史前生物后裔的可能性虽然很小，但火口湖这种特殊的地理环境却很特殊，它能否成为滋生“怪兽”的土壤，科学界产生了很多种说法,其中有最多支持的一种是辐射变异说，意思是长白山水怪是因为辐射污染造成的，由于长白山是一个火山口，所以，必然会产生辐射，而在天池中正好生活着一种鱼，可能是因为辐射而造成了水怪。但是，另外一些科学界的人说：现实世界不可能像电影一样，一下就变得那么大，因为辐射一般都是对身体有污染的，一旦被辐射也应该由于辐射而死亡，所以，不可能有水怪，一定是人们的幻觉。
水獭造成
科学家们又提出水怪是因为水獭造成的幻觉，因为，在摄像机里拍摄的水怪和水獭有惊人的相似，而且水獭一般都是在春季离开天池秋季来到天池，这也可以解释为什么人们看到水怪都是在七八月份。但是还有这么一些人，非说是水怪。
长白山天池水怪
简介：
长白山天池位于东北长白山主峰附近，地方志上多次记载有关湖怪的传说。自1962年起，更是多次有人表示在这里发现过水怪。甚至有人总结出天池怪兽的特征：头大（比牛头还大）、嘴突、颈长（1米左右）、体硕（3米以上）。
水怪故事:
天池水怪其实可能是一种类似“翻车鱼”的海洋鱼类。长白山天池是活火山，与日本海临近，极有可能有一条通往日本海的隧道，所以翻车鱼就从隧道进入天池，这不是没有可能的。又因为长白山天池是活火山，湖地有火山活动，矿物质丰富，这为翻车鱼提供了食物，同时火山活动使湖地温度温暖，所以适合翻车鱼生存。但最重要的是，最近的水怪目击照片和录像显示，水怪有打转的习惯，它还可以越出水面，这都与翻车鱼极其相似。

An interesting discovery of a lake monster name as the Lake Tianchi Monoster that lives in Heaven Lake. Heaven Lake is also alleged to be home to the Lake Tianchi Monster. Lake Tianchi is a beautiful body of water in a crater atop Changbai in the northeast China. As reported more than a hundred people saw two of the monsters chasing each other in water. Latest sighting was when a reporter shot on video the footage of six water monsters swimming. Interesting these monsters were chasing each other in water. Described as finned creatures swimming and frolicking in the lake for an hour. Today, the folklore of Changbai Mountain continues. There are frequent news reports of tourists sighting of these mystical creatures at Tianchi.
With this sighting , there could be many other mystical creatures out in the unknown in the water or could be in the forest and so forth. Like the Big Foot, Yeti, Loch Monster and so forth do exist yet still remain unsolved.
Thank you, Rinpoche for this interesting sharing.
The video wasn’t clear but it did arouse my curiosity to learn more. Perhaps I’ll get the ‘lucky chance’ to meet them when I travel there someday!
Thank you Rinpoche for introducing this sea monster here.
天下之大，无奇不有。有许多稀奇古怪的动物都是我们闻所未闻，而博文所提到的天池水怪也是其中一种罕有的动物。根据博文，这类动物的长相非常独特，头大、嘴突、颈长和体硕。无论如何，它们还是属于六道众生之一，都必须面对轮回之苦。
如果真的有天池水怪这回事，在此希望有关当局、当地人民和游客们等不要打扰它们，让它们可以自由的生活在大自然的环境里。毕竟，越是稀奇古怪的动物关注度越高，而这样会使它们陷入困境比如杀害它们来提供科学研究。
感谢仁波切的分享。
Wow, another mystery of the earth. It goes to show that there are so many things, seen or unseen, still unknown to us from this earth alone. Many creatures like the Big Foot, Yeti, Mermaid, Loch Monster, Chupacabra still remain unsolved whether they exist or not. We should not assume we (human) own this earth and take things for granted under the guise of development. As we are sharing this space with all the creatures, known and unknown, seen and unseen, we must be responsible and mindful. Thank you, Rinpoche for this sharing.
Very interesting to know of another uncommon animal appearing in Tianchi, China. I have not heard or seen this animal before. Actually there are many animals which may not know their existence. Perhaps they are avoiding the people.
Thank you Rinpoche for sharing this video and article.
I love these stories about mysteries and strange creatures and I believe, and if there is anything that Rinpoche taught me with all the Bigfoot tales and stories, it is that there can and is something out there. I really like how humans think that they are in control of nature and they know everything but these creatures only were seen when they wanted to be seen like the loch ness monster. They are only seen when they want to be seen. I like all these mystery animal stories because it reminds me of how humans don’t know everything and there are many cool animals out there.
But for this particular story, I think it is possible that it could be faked because of how the footage could be purposely blurred and the eyewitnesses could be lying to attract attention. Anyways it is a good story and I believe it could be real even though there are some factors saying it could be fake. My theory is that they are similar to the loch ness monster but they evolved to be different in size and in some small features because of the conditions in china. I love these tales, I love the unknown animals, it reminds me that we are not completely in control here on earth because there is still so much to learn and explore here.
Wow Rinpoche, this is fantastic! Another monster hehe i love monsters.
After watching the video and reading the information Rinpoche has presented. I really do believe that this strange creature really exists. In fact, i have come to the conclusion that most monsters sightings are indeed true. I was just thinking to myself, How can so many people be wrong? There has to be at least some truth behind the sighting, right?
I know there are these amazing creatures out there. I do not know where they come from, maybe from space, or maybe they are a scientific experiment. We will probably never know. But there is one thing that we know for sure, these creatures are not like any other animals. They are different, and that means that they should be approached differently. I hope there will be more solid evidence in the future to prove to the world that these things really do exist.
This article is truly interesting, we should believe that sentient beings is every where and some of them can meet by us due to the previous Karma so we should respect them.
The monster look like the “Naga” family or dinosaur…
There are definitely many different animals on this earth that yet to be discovered. It’s good to know they exist but it will not be good to catch them for scientific studies. Even though they are different from human, it doesn’t mean they don’t deserve freedom.
It’s interesting and intriguing to hear sightings of monsters in water and on land. There must be many species of undiscovered life forms on planet Earth waiting to be discovered. But then again, it would be better for these creatures to remain elusive for their continued existence.
Thank you Rinpoche for sharing the mysterious animals from Tianchi lake in North East China. The scenery at the lake there is so beautiful, peaceful and undisturbed with natural beauty.
There are many living beings which we have not seen or heard about it, but that does not mean they do not exist.
We should be fortunate enough to have lived as human and able to learn and perceive Dharma while we still can, in order to gain merits and blessings for our many future lifetimes ahead.
Thank you Rinpoche for showing us with many mysterious animals and teachings us with a lot of Dharma to benefit many of us tirelessly.
I am certain there are many more mystical creatures out there that humans have not yet discovered. It is said that 95 percent of the ocean realm remains unexplored, unseen by human eyes, so I am not surprised that there are strange creatures living in this lake that looks like giant seals. Interesting that on this planet “earth” we can see all six different realms of existence if we look closely. Acknowledging that there are mystical creatures we haven’t seen is similar to acknowledging there are aliens and other life force instead of just us humans. Hence the possibility different realms, and reincarnation surely exists and the continuity of the mind.
It is only a mystery because we haven’t seen it, it won’t be considered a mystery once man catches it and tears it a part for further “learning”. All these creatures have a right to live and be left alone and away from us humans who tend to exploit. Hope that no gets to catch him/her… and may they have peace.
Very interesting sharing..The universal is so big, anything are possible, only we don’t know.The “Tianchi” very beautiful
This is indeed interesting.. Thank you Rinpoche for sharing.
Indeed, this has been reported in China as well. Read this if you understand Mandarin: http://baike.baidu.com/view/98578.htm?fromtitle=天池怪兽&fromid=1960120&type=search
Wow that was really interesting. And there is an eerie feel to that lake as well. really strange and interesting. I’d like to learn more about this.
Here is another video about the monster.
http://youtu.be/Z0bH0Y57EDY
It’s amazing that these creatures are still out there, surviving especially with all sorts of pollutions these days. I must say that I’m pretty amazed, I also believe that mermaids are real, they exist, it’s just their existence has not been scientifically proven yet, but I think that not everything can be proven through science, sometimes science can’t be everything, just like how it can’t help us when we are on the edge of death. Anyways, I really hope that these creatures remain unseen so their habitats are preserved or maybe remain safe from intruders, because men’s curiosity is the most dangerous weapon, sometimes it may also lead to some complications or damages to others.
Seems to be a similar case of Loch Ness monster? I just wonder why no one went to dive in to have a better understanding?
Hmm… or maybe some mutation or sorts when the crater was made?
Anyway.. it is always very intriguing to know that many more species are yet to be discovered and maybe dinosauric beings are walking / living among us.
This is very interesting sea monster. I think they look like combination of a kind of dinosaur “Apatosaurus” and lizard. hehe… They look harmless. 🙂 hehe
Thank you Rinpcohe for sharing to us! 🙂
Thank you for sharing this interesting video news on potential cryptids in China. There are many animals that have evaded scientific discovery hiding throughout the world, especially in the waters, I wouldn’t be be surprised if this was one of them.
I really hope I will one day be able to encounter such creatures.
However, in addition, after reviewing the video a few times. The video is not very clear as to what the creature could be so it is entirely possible that these are not really cryptozoological creatures but could be travelling seals etc. Nevertheless, it is still rather interesting.
It is also interesting to note that the presence of these beings are common knowledge to the locals so it is entirely possible that it is just an undiscovered species of animal that western science hasn’t bothered to cover yet.
Also, Tian Chi lake is rather interesting and beautiful. I would not mind visiting there one day. Maybe I’d get to see a creature. Haha
Dear Rinpoche, how the people describe the looks of the monsters is very ugly or maybe it is this ugly. I think they might be related to the Lochness monster, just that the difference of the size between the both of them is big. Just like the red dragon or frilled dragon….I want to see it alive too.
Thank You for sharing Rinpoche. This is very interesting, China sure has a lot of unknown creatures ( which is awesome ) but too bad they don’t come out often…well the good thing is so that the scientists do not do experiments on them. Some things are better left unknown.
wow, that place is so beautiful, it is so interesting how this creature was spotted and they say it moves as fast as a boat. i love these mysteries like the loch ness monster. thank you for sharing Rinpoche.
Dear Rinpoche, the view from that place is so beautiful. I do wish that one day I would have the chance to go there and I also wish that the monster doesn’t attack people. I want to see all types of animals in this world.
This is just so amazing. It is just great that there still are some animals that have not been captured by man to do researches and experiments on to know more about them. I believe that wild animals should be left remained in the wild. Not capturing them and putting them in cages where they lose all their freedom and happiness.
This is a very interesting cryptid. Thank you for sharing. From the representations made by the locals, I would think it might be a dugong of sorts or a once-thought extinct dinosaur like the Loch Ness Monster. Very interesting.
i find lake monsters really cool. I never had the chance to see one, but if i were presented the chance i would really go for it! They are such amazing creatures, i know that some people would say that they are not real or that they are faked to make people believe in them. But i believe in them, and i think that they are amazing.

I’ve heard of similar sightings at lakes in Tibet.
Nagas?
I’m sure there are more things in this world than we know of. Here in the UK we have stories of the Loch Ness monster which is said to live in a very deep cold water lake in Scotland.

Eminence, Dharma Prince,
Sea Lions evolved from a wolf-like creature returning to the sea, after initially evolving on land.
Whales and similar cetaceans evolved from cattle-like creatures returning to the sea.
From the look of these photos, one would think that something in the Camel-Llama family (not Lama family…LOL) returned to the water and evolved accordingly.
It certainly is a possibility, and we will probably never know all off the species of animals that inhabit our deep waters. We (humans) make scores of species become extinct every single day!! Most of which we have never even discovered until it was too late!!
In a pristine environment, like this lake, it surely would be possible for a creature to exist in isolation from mankind.
Love, and Great Respect,
–Tom
