Anyone who goes to the Shenhu to worship Buddha will worship devoutly. According to legend, every year in the Year of the Sheep, Buddhists, Bodhisattvas and Buddhists gather in Namtso to set up an altar and hold a large-scale dharma meeting. At this time, going to the lake to worship the scriptures once is better than going to the lake to recite the scriptures 100 thousand times at ordinary times, and its blessings are boundless. Therefore, every year in the Year of the Sheep, monks and believers will travel long distances to Namco. Around April 15 of the Tibetan Year of the Sheep, believers poured in with unprecedented pomp.
