Passang Norbu from Borongmang village shares his account of Borangtse temple. According to the oral tradition, a local spiritual master named Tenpai Dolma — who was received by the Dakinies (spirits in Vajrayana Buddhism, comparable to fairies or imps) in heaven after his death — wished to see two temples facing opposite to each other at different locations, one for himself and another for his chef, who left the universe because of his misfortune. And so the Borangtse temple emerged or the chef and Guru Lhakhang (temple), located at the opposite site, was dedicated to the master Tenpai Dolma.
