319. "The Bka'-brgyud-pa monastery of Ras-chung-phug (1949) clings, at different levels, to the hillsides which separates the Yarlung and 'Phyong-rgyas valleys. It is built above the meditation cave of Ras-chung-pa, a close personal disciple of Mi-la-ras-pa. The cave was a rather shallow recess with images of Mi-la-ras-pa and Raas-chung-pa on the altar and a small mchod-rten in front. ... A many-armed Bde-mchog (Shamvara) resided in the dgon-khang .
