History of Xiongba Laqu Shenshui
According to the record in the book Wubu Yijiao(五部遗教): in the eighth century, one day, Master Padmasambhava(莲花生大师) passed by the Xiongbala region(雄巴拉地区), seeing that, there was no drinking water for the people, then he used his Buddhism magic to dig a hole in the ground with his Buddha battle(佛仗) and said to them: “God spring is coming”. From then on, people referred to this place as the “Xiongba Laqu(雄巴拉曲)” meaning the holy water in the basin.
