The stupa atop Mt. Yangri, above the village of Tharkegyang

The main local protective deity of the Hidden Land of Yolmo, lovingly called "Ama Yangri" by the people of Yolmo. While some recent "scholarly" research calls this into question, this is certainly how she is treated by the local Yolmo people, and has been as far as memory reaches back. She is considered to be an emanation of Tashi Tseringma, the main deity of the Five Sisters of Long Life, and is said to have served Jetsun Milarepa perfectly while he stayed in Yolmo for three years. The other three protectors of Yolmo are the well-known Dorje Legpa (rdo rje legs pa), Genyen Leru (dge bsnyen gle ru) and Jowo Chati (jo bo cha ti). TSD
