Dawa finally reaches Thowadrak and almost gets chased away by a monk called Phuntsho but the elderly monk suddenly stops Phuntsho and tells him to inform other monks to let Dawa stay at Thowadrak. Days go by but Dawa could not find the cave that he came to look for. However, he finds a cave that has been occupied by a hermit and he decides to stay outside the entrance of the cave.
One early morning the hermit gives some food to Dawa on a dried rhododendron and he decides to leave the cave because he doesn’t want to distract the hermit in his meditation.
