Gau, also known as Gawu or Ghau in Tibetan, refers to an amulet box that holds precious objects such as small sculptures or relics. When filled with religious contents, these boxes are believed to protect the wearer and serve as portable shrines. The central window of the amulet often reveals a small statue or thangka.

Yachen Gar, also known as Yachen Orgyen Samten Choling, was founded by Akhyuk Rinpoche in 1980. It is home to over 10,000 Sangha members, making it one of the largest gatherings of nuns and monks in the world.
