Details

Pema Lingpa resided there and did blacksmithing as per the local tradition. The circle stone wall, where he used is still seen today along with a metal pan for preparing buckwheat pancake (khulay), which has his own thumbprint.

Oral history records that when Pema Lingpa was doing his blacksmith works in Khar, a lady by the name Tshewang Ki (tshe dbang skyid) used to serve him tea. On one occasion, while Tshewang was walking to serve the tea, she heard a conversation in the tent. However, when she arrived in the tent, she found there was no one except for Pema Lingpa. Pema Lingpa asked the lady if she had seen a lay practitioner (Gomchen) walking out of the tent when she came. She was surprised as she had not encountered anyone on her way. Later, it was said that Guru Rinpoche appeared in Pema Lingpa’s dream and he received the teachings of the Bardo (bar do, teachings of the transition through the intermediate state) from Guru Rinpoche.
