Most of these places figure in Blazing
Splendor, the memoirs of Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche. My wife and I went on
a field trip / pilgrimage armed with two horses and a nikon. Here are some
of the photos.
A visit to Tsechu Gompa, the seat of Adeu Rinpoche
Khala Rong-Go, the terma site of Padmasambhava
Tsikey Monastery at the confluence of two rivers
The temple of the Chinese princess Wengchen
A visit to Fortress Peak - the retreat center of Tulku Urgyen and Samten Gyatso

We chose Fortress Peak for the front cover - it wasn't a
hard choice. I explain it a bit on the , the weblog for Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche's memoirs, where we
gradually post these and other pictures with a little text, comments and references.
