Moral teachings
The main attraction of tsechu are the Cham dances. These dances are performed by masked and costumed dancers. They include certain moral teachings based on the events from the life of the 9th century Nyingmapa (the oldest of four schools of Tibetan Buddhism) teacher Padmasambhava and other saints.
