Asura cave

Rinpoche, Lama Namsai and Barom Kagyu Disciples practiced Amitayus & White Tara empowerment at the temple near Asura cave in Pharping, later were smoke puja and lungta flags hanging.

Asura cave: this location is widely considered the most profound of all sites connected with the activity of Guru Rinpoché. Here, the Mahaguru spent time in retreat in two caves located in what is now the village of Pharping. During the winter months he practiced at the sunny upper Asura Cave and during the hot summer months he retreated to the lower Yangleshö cave. While at the Asura Cave, through combining the practices of Yangdak Heruka and Vajrakilaya, he attained the ultimate fruition of Mahamudra, the Great Seal.
