Lhadrak

Lhadrak in western Tsang is associated with a sacred cave at Zangzang, a place of revelation in the Nyingma tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. In 1366 the treasure revealer Rigdzin Gödem is said to have opened a chest concealed in the rock and recovered sacred texts and ritual objects. These teachings became known as the Northern Treasures. Tradition attributes their concealment to Padmasambhava, who left them to be found when the time was right.
