Longchenpa composed the Trilogy of Finding Comfort and Ease at this hermitage of Orgyen Dzong at Gangri Thökar (the white skull snow mountain) in central Tibet 25km S-SW of Lhasa, where he taught and composed many of his works such as the Seven Treasuries.

Gangri Thökar is situated above the Shukseb Monastery.
