Palden Lhamo is the only female amongst the Eight Dharma Protectors. She is deliberately terrifying so that she can fight evil forces and overcome Buddhism’s enemies. Palden Lhamo was originally a Bon goddess now sworn to uphold the Dharma. According to legend, Palden Lhamo is the protector of Lhamo La-tso, the "oracle lake" southeast of Lhasa, Tibet. It is a sacred lake and a place of pilgrimage for those seeking visions. It is said that at this lake, Palden Lhamo promised Gendun Drupa, the first Dalai Lama, that she would protect the succession of Dalai Lamas.
