Chimi Lhakgang was home to a medieval deviant monk, Drukpa Kunley,
the "mad monk" as he is euphemistically known, who spent his life
engaging in pleasures of the flesh as a means of achieving and
sharing spiritual enlightenment. An
exceptionally picturesque location and a rather pleasant approach
walking across the fields...also a very pleasant cafeteria just off
the main road so you can sit and enjoy lunch or a nice cold beer
overlooking the valley and hilltop monastery. |
