The Asura Cave is where the great 8th century tantric master, Guru Rinpoche, combined the practices of Yangdak Heruka and Vajrakilaya, which resulted in him attaining the siddhi of Mahamudra. The three main images enshrined inside the cave are those of Guru Rinpoche in the middle, Yangdak Heruka to his right and Vajrakilaya to his left. There is a self-‐arisen ཨ་ “A” syllable on the left side of the cave just below an electric bulb, and there is a hand print embedded into the stone above and to the left of the cave entrance.
