legend

In Tibetan, ramlaco means "the Soul Lake of the heavenly daughter". Although the lake area is small, it has a special status in the reincarnation system of Tibetan Buddhism, so it is highly respected by believers. Every time before visiting reincarnation Lingtong of the Dalai Lama, Panchen Lama and other great living Buddhas, they have to come here to observe the divination. Every year from April to June of the Tibetan calendar, many faithful men and women come here for pilgrimage and sightseeing. It is said that many people can see different things from the same view. It is said that they can see their future from the reflection of the lake. In 1509, Dalai II built qukejie temple nearby, which added scenery to the peculiar scenery of the plateau. Every time before visiting reincarnated Lingtong of the Dalai Lama, Panchen Erdeni and other great living Buddhas, they would come here to observe the divination of the lake to receive the God's instructions. Moreover, every Dalai Lama would pay homage to the "God Lake". It is said that those who worship the lake can also see the past life and afterlife of the God metaphor from the illusory images of the lake. The holy lake can present the future fate of everyone who goes to worship the holy lake. As long as he looks at the lake devoutly, the holy lake can show all kinds of future scenes for the pilgrims. The Dalai Lama and the reincarnated Lingtong of Panchen Lama of all ages in Tibet determined the direction and principle of their search through the vision of the holy lake, and the lake was also a mirror for countless faithful men and women to explore their own destiny.
