Lhasa at an altitude of 3,650 mt, is situated on the north bank of Kyichu River. Lhasa in Tibetan means "Place of the Gods", the residence of the Dalai Lama. It is sacred because of the figures of Songtsen Gampo and his two royal consorts and the figures of Sakyamuni brought from Chang' an and Nepal. One thousand five hundred years ago Lhasa was known as Otang, which means, "plain flowing with milk," because of its rich pasture, good for grazing sheep and cattle.The Rasa Monastery soon became the Otang people's central place of worship, for it enshrined the gilded image of Sakyamuni brought from Chang's an by Princess Wen Cheng. In the course of time, the original name of the place was forgotten, and it became known simply as Rasa, which was gradually changed into Lhasa.

Guru Rimpoche, the founder of this sect of thought, and his main disciple, Vairocana (the Tibetans call him “Berutsana”), are said to have meditated here twelve centuries ago, This site is particularly important because Guru Rimpoche also concealed religious texts here, known as “terma” (hidden treasure), which were discovered hundreds of years later. A new but rather sparse Lhakhang has been built over the cave used by Guru Rimpoche, though the small nunnery nearby still lies in ruins. Above the cave is the retreat of Vairocan, and scattered around the cliffs are some other caves used by various Lamas in Tibetan Buddhist history.
