Stories in the stones一座寺庙，一段时光
Tiger’s Nest Monastery developed around a meditation cave associated with Guru Padmasambhava. According to local legend, he arrived here riding a tigress and meditated in the cave, giving the monastery its name. The present-day monastic complex was built by Tenzin Rabgye in 1692, preserving the memory of Guru Padmasambhava’s role in spreading Vajrayana Buddhism in Bhutan. In 1998, a severe fire damaged precious murals and religious artifacts in the main temple. The royal family and government of Bhutan subsequently led restoration work, and the monastery was rebuilt in 2005. It remains an active place of worship and pilgrimage.虎穴寺围绕与莲花生大师相关的修行洞穴发展而成。当地传说他骑乘母虎来到此地，并在洞中禅修，寺名由此而来。现今寺院建筑群由丹增拉杰于一六九二年兴建，延续了莲花生大师在不丹传播金刚乘佛教的记忆。一九九八年，主殿遭遇严重火灾，珍贵壁画与宗教文物受损。此后不丹王室和政府主持修复，寺院于二〇〇五年完成重建，至今仍是活跃的礼佛与朝圣场所。
