Summary/Abstract: The Jarung Khashor stupa is one of the most important Buddhist pilgrimage sites of the Kathmandu valley in Nepal. The present paper uses 16-18th century Tibetan sources, mainly biographies of the lamas, who acted as sextons of the stupa, in order to give a detailed picture of the history of its 16th century reconstruction, and the related legends. It also attempts to explain how a stupa in Nepal became part of a Tibetan tradition reaching far back into the past, and how the constant renovation of the stupa helps to preserve the Buddha’s teaching in an age of decline.
