Sangwa Dhadrug |
Padmasmabhava's
Secret Cliff in Eastern Bhutan above the khoma village called Sangye Lodru is
also known as Sangwa Dhadrug and people believes that it is end point of Singye
Dzong where the pilgrimage is incomplete if they don’t visit Sangye Lodru
during their return journey from Singye Dzong. The place was called as Sangye
lodru as well as Sangye Dhadru which carries two different meaning as follows.
The name Sangye meaning Buddha refers to Guru Rinpoche, Lodru means six years
of retreat at that place. However from other side it was known as Sangwa Dhadru
meaning Sangwa is Secrete, Dhadru means Six month where Guru meditated in this café
secretly for six month.
While
Guru Rinpoche was meditating at Singye Dzong, the deity of the Tshokar and
Tshonag promised to remain as protective deity. However, the deity of the
Tshonag, Drakpa Gyeltsen, breaking his promise and came down along the Khomachu
and almost reached present day Sumpa area. Guru Rinpoche knew about it and arrived
at Sumpa with supernatural power before the deity reached. The unfaithful
deity, knew that Guru had arrived before him and he hide himself in the cave
below Khoma village. Then Guru knew that the deity would harm the people of
this village if it was left unsubdued. So he meditated in the cave above the
present day Khoma village for six months without known by anyone. Thus the name
of the cave came to be known as Sangwa Dhadrug. Guru Rinpoche also meditated in
the cave below the village and hide many treasures that were later discovered
by Tertön Ratna Lingpa. While Guru was meditating at Sangwa Dhadrug, one girl
saw him and offered three bottles of fresh milk in next morning. Hence, Guru
Rinpoche said NGA LA KHO WAI MO CHE DUG “there is a girl that I need”. From
that incident the village below the cliff is said to be named as Khomo.
