from the towering cliff he discovered: a statue of Avalokiteshvara; sacrificial pills; a
manuscript to destroy the lower destinies (nyen-song-kuen-chop).

In 1372, at Wangdue, Bjaragang while he was explaining the text on Guru Communion
(Lama Kadue), he envisioned Guru Padmasambhava, who instructed him to discover
treasure at Limbukha in Punakha.
He instantly moved to Limbukha,
at Ugyen Phugmoche (popularly
known as Limbu Terchu) and
discovered a box made of shellac
from the cliff which contained a
precious treasure in the form of a
manuscripts. He also discovered a
vase filled with gold; a vase filled
with water of longevity; and two
turquoises. He also made a
prophecy that several years later - a heart fortress would be built in between the two
great rivers: Phochu and Mochu, and his prophecy was realized later in 17th century with
the building of Punakha Dzong by Zhabdrung Ngawang Namgyel.

In 1374, with the information reflected on a treasure script, he began his journey towards
Bumthang via mountains. On the way, at lake Umteng Tsho, he couldn’t penetrate further,
the trail was completely jammed by the
avalanche of snows, so he decided to
spend a few days there. While taking a
short break, the local deity, guardian of
treasure - Namen Karmo devotedly
invited him to her dwelling which is
located below Umteng Tsho. At her place,
she offered a roll of manuscript which
contains the instructions on treasure
revelations at Umteng Tsho. As per the
guidelines provided in a treasure script, at
Umteng Tsho, Dorji Lingpa discovered: a
volume on Avalokiteshvara (Gyelwa
Jamtsho); a golden dragger; and, meteoric
iron sword (Namchag Umi Reldri). These
treasures are current kept as the relics at
Busa Wangdue Goenpa Monastery.
