Taktsang Dzong
Taktsang Monastery or The Tiger’s Nest, is a prominent Tibetan Buddhist monastery of the Nyingma (Red Hat School), located in the cliffside of the upper Paro valley, Bhutan. It was built in 1692, around the Taktsang Senge Samdup (stag tshang seng ge bsam grub) cave where Guru Padmasambhava is said to have meditated for three months in the 8th century. Padmasambhava is credited with introducing Buddhism to Bhutan and is the tutelary deity of the country. Today, Paro Taktsang is the best known of the thirteen taktsang or “tiger lair” caves in which he meditated.

The photographs, taken by British political officer John Claude White, are the first known images to have left the country.
