This stream is known as the "Burning Lake" - in one of the deep pools, legend has it that Pema
Lingpa dived into the pool of water with a burning lantern to retrieve a variety of precious
jewels and golden statues at the bottom of the pool. To prove his spiritual prowess, he surfaced
with the jewels, statues and the lantern still burning. Hence the name "Burning Lake"

The little items on the altar are known as tsa-tsas, statues made from the remains
of cremated individuals.
