Commentary
"The Tak Sang cave monastery is...[a] major pilgrimage site, perched precariously near the top of a 4,000-foot precipice. Within it is the sacred cave where Guru Padmasambhava is said to have meditated."
—Robert Z. Apte, Ph.D. Three Kingdoms on the Roof of the World. Berkeley: Parallax Press, 1990. p29.
