66 Zutulpuk Gompa Milarepa Footprint On Roof Of Miracle Cave On Mount Kailash Outer Kora  [66 of 72]


Milarepa is said to have meditated in the miracle cave at Zutulpuk Gompa and had another confrontation with Bon Naro Bonchung. Needing shelter from the rain, they agreed to jointly construct a cave but when Milarepa casually put a roof in place, without waiting for Naro to make the walls, it was another easy victory for Buddhism, Milarepa then decided the roof was too high and went outside and pressed it down with this foot, leaving a footprint. Back inside, he realized he’d pushed it too far, but some more shoving from below adjusted things to his satisfaction. His hand and head prints can be seen on the cave ceiling but the Gompa roof covers the footprint atop the cave.
