It is situated at an altitude of 3900m at the upper limit of the forest, in the Lower Triangular Plain ([[chos 'byung ma thang]]) of [[Lapchi]] (see LNY, p.74). It consists of a small temple surrounded by walls and rooms for the monks that form a monastic courtyard, or ''"Dharma enclosure"'' ([[chos ra]]) about twenty-five meters square. After [[Shabkar]] completed the construction, most of the precious images and relics in the valley were transferred and preserved in the temple. Chief among them (GL, p.57/b) was the "[[Nasal-blood Image]]" ([[mtshal khrag ma]]), a statue of [[Jetsun Mila]] made by [[Rechungpa]], after [[Milarepa]] himself had prepared the clay, mixing it with blood from his nose and veins, and with his saliva. Most of these precious images are no longer extant except for a painted-clay statue of [[Shabkar]]. (Personal communication by T.Huber). [[MR]]-ShabkarNotes]
