Tamshing Lhakang  (Temple of good messages)

This lhakhang built in 1501 by Pema Lingpa, in the Bumthang District of central Bhutan.  Pema Lingpa, built the structure himself and painted many of the paintings.  It is the most important Nyingmapa temple in Bhutan. The temple and monastery are remarkable for their direct connection to the Bhutanese saint Pema Lingpa. It is now a seat of Lama Sungtrul Rinpoche the current speech incarnation of Pema Lingpa. Tamshing consists of a deteriorating temple and cramped monks quarters. The monastery supports a body of over 95 monks.

Mebar Tsho (Burning Lake)

This is really a pool of water rather than a lake in the normal sense of the word.  It was in this pool of water that Pema Lingpa found several treasures of Guru Rinpoche.  If you are really enlightened you can see a lhakhang in the water.  I wonder who will be able to see it. There is a rock shrine with the carving of Pema Lingpa and his two sons.  Underneath this shrine is a small and dusty cave that one can crawl in to express his devotion.

Story of the Burning Lake

The evening in Bunthang Town for the second time.  I wonder what is there to be see or done since we have no information on this town as of now yet?
