The Tiger-cave Lion-fortress, one of Jetsun Milarepa's six secret caves, Yolmo

Jetsun Milarepa is said to have meditated for three years in this cave. He came to Yolmo in the first place because his teacher, Marpa the translator, had indicated that his practice would be successful there. There are several references to his stay in Yolmo, in the "Hundred-thousand Songs", compiled by Tsang Nyon Heruka, as well as in several older biographies. [TSD]
