»In central Bhutan, [the] Bumthan country [note 1] is compromised of four valleys. It holds the lake "Me 'bar mcho" [note 2] … In one of these valleys [Chockhor valley] the new (1902) and the old (1652) temple of Kurje (sku rje) [note 3] is found. In the back of the old temple two rocks of about one metre in height are put up. In between of the rocks is a passage [dwar]which cannot be passed by sinners« (STEIN 1988: 12). »Indications que je dois à M. Jest, à Mme Imaeda [i.e. Françoise Pommaret Imaeda] et à Mme Blondeau« (STEIN 1988: 12 note 35). Herbert Daniel Gebauer - 09/02/2016
