One of Padmasambhava's twenty-five main disciples was (right) Khyeuchung Lotsawa. He was a ngakpa wearing white robes and uncut braided hair who received all the tantric (Vajrayana) teachings from Padmasambhava. He was able to communicate the Dharma to the birds. Among his most notable of a remarkable series of his rebirths was Duddul Dorje.


In the 17th Century CE Duddul Dorje opened up places of pilgrimage in remote places of power. Foremost among these was Pemakö, the hidden valley in the Tsangpo River valley inhabited by wild hill tribes. Padmasambhava and the 25 disciples as well as Gampopa had previously practised there but it was inaccessible until Duddul Dorje opened it up for the first time to ordinary pilgrims.

Bumdrag Sacred Place

Bumdrag ('bum brag gnas) is an important sacred place considered to be a second Tsari (ཙཱ་རི་གཉིས་པ།). Here are the footprints of 100,000 Ḍākinī

In the cliffs to the right of the temple is the wrathful deity Amrita Kundali (bdud rtsi 'khyil ba); to the left a hundred classes of wrathful and peaceful deities, and in the center the dieties of the mandala of Vajra Subjugator (rdo rje rnam 'joms).

The Bumdrag sacred place may be reached by walking uphill from Urgyen Tsemo or Öselgang for about two and a half hours through a pleasant forest. From Bumdrag there is a panoramic view of the entire Paro Valley and the mountains beyond.

One can descend back to Paro via Chochong tse, Rinpung Gonpa, the ruins of Nenying Dzong, Sangchen Chokhor and Kunga Choling.

The stream which flows down from Bumdrag is the source of the Shelkarchu which falls through the ravine next to Paro Taktsang.
