Guru Rinpoche
predicted that in the future, there would be people who did not believe that he
was real or that anyone could do such miraculous things.

Guru Rinpoche also left four
footprints in the four directions, two in Tibet and two elsewhere, south of
Tibet. He even left his body print in the mountains of Bhutan, near the Tibetan
border.
This is not just a
story or a myth. You can still go there on pilgrimage and see his whole body
impression in solid rock.
These are reminders
that Guru Rinpoche actually came into this world and shared his wisdom.

Guru Rinpoche
himself said that in all the caves and places he has meditated people in the
future could receive his blessing as if meeting him in person. There are
different kinds of caves, which represent Guru Rinpoche’s enlightened aspects
such as Body, Speech, Mind, Quality and Activity.
Furthermore Guru
Rinpoche mentioned that especially in the time of degeneration (Kaliyuga)
visiting those Holy places would be very beneficial for one’s spiritual
development and purification of sicknesses and obstacles.
May you all be blessed?
