 In any case, this first contact of Tibetans with Buddhism cannot have been more than an incident without lasting impact.The cintamani is said to be one of four relics that came in a chest that fell from the sky (many terma fell from the sky in caskets) during the reign of king Lha Thothori Nyantsen.Though the king did not understand the purpose of the objects, he still kept them in a position of reverence.
