Tashiding Monastery in the Himalayas, where a Miraculous vase predicts the future. Legend has it that when guru Padmasambhava wanted to find a place to meditate in solitude,he shot an arrow into the sky and it landed on a site known today as the Tashiding Monastery.The magic vase is the subject of the Bhuchu festival. This festival draws Buddhists from all over the globe who come to witness the yearly ritual in which the sealed vase is opened and its contents inspected. Much like a divinely motivated Groundhog’s Day,Nyingmapa Buddhists believe that prosperity for the following year can be predicted by the water level. The festival takes place at midnight during the full moon in the first month of the Tibetan calendar.
