It is known as“Takmo Lu Jin” Tigress Body Generosity in Tibetan. Rows of Buddhist stupas adorned with fluttering prayer flags. Yet what draws their attention most is an image of the Lord Buddha in his compassionate manifestation. A small shrine a few minutes walk up to the hill the carved stone image of the Lord Buddha together with the tigress and her cubs portrays a popular legend, which relates that the Lord Buddha in his previous incarnation had offered his own flesh to save a starving tigress and her cubs. On the other side of the hill stands the Thrangu Tashi Yangtse monastery constructed in 1976. Large number of pilgrims visits Namo Buddha, especially during the months of February and March.
