uk666 5,298 Report post Posted April 2, 2017 Taktsang (Tiger’s Nest) Monastery Guru Padmasambhava, popularly known as Guru Rinpoche visited and sanctified Bhutan in the 8th century when evil spirits abounded and harmed people. Legend has it that Guru Rinpoche flew to this site on a tigress’ back to subdue a local demon. Thereafter, he meditated here for three months. Taktshang Goemba or Tiger’s Nest Monastery was blessed and sanctified as one of Bhutan’s most sacred religious sites. It hangs on a cliff and stands above a beautiful forest of blue pine and rhododendrons. Lego model of Bhutan's Tiger's Nest monastery 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
