and Pema Ling (1872) Lhodrak is the heartland of the famous Kagyu patriarch Marpa Lotsawa and where the esteemed Tibetan yogi Milarepa performed his spiritual hardships before initiation. Guru Chowang was also born here in 1212. He was the teacher and consort of Jomo Memo, a female terton from whose teachings, the Khandro Sangdu, Ayu Khandro had received from Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo. South west of Lhodrak is the lake at Pema Ling which is next to the mountain Kula Kangri on the border of Bhutan.

Here they learnt more Chod from him with his students and practiced intensively, completing the 100 000 Chod feast offerings.
