This video was taken beside Lagon Monastery in Tibet.

You can see the stupas/chortens there. These are some of the oldest and most unique and important structures connected with the Tibetan Kagyu lineage.

They are said to be around 1,000 years old and are still preserved there today.

According to the tradition and history of Lagon, these were made by the first Lagon, Druthob Nyagnyon, and they are very famous in Tibet.
 

In Tibetan, they are called Kagyu Rabdun Ki Chorten, meaning the seven main Kagyu chortens or pyramid-like stupas.

The Sacred Places of Lagon

"there are so many—many, many pilgrimage sites in that whole area.

Sometimes when I call my monks, they tell me stories about Lagon. For example, they tell me that Lagon once flew from one mountain to another" mountain.

 

"There are also mountains where they say there are many footprints and handprints connected with Lagon.

The whole Lagon area is huge, and there are many different sacred places and pilgrimage sites connected with him."

- Lagon Tulku Rinpoche
