Guru Rimpoche, the founder of this sect of thought, and his main disciple, Vairocana (the Tibetans call him “Berutsana”), are said to have meditated here twelve centuries ago, This site is particularly important because Guru Rimpoche also concealed religious texts here, known as “terma” (hidden treasure), which were discovered hundreds of years later. A new but rather sparse Lhakhang has been built over the cave used by Guru Rimpoche, though the small nunnery nearby still lies in ruins. Above the cave is the retreat of Vairocan, and scattered around the cliffs are some other caves used by various Lamas in Tibetan Buddhist history.
