To demonstrate the specific role of localities and their deities in Amdo, exemplified by the particular area of The bo, the paper will discuss the establishment of the pilgrimage place by an ancient Bon sage, the much later influence of the Gelug monastery by means of the local deity and oracle, and the opening of another holy place by Bon-followers in 1940.
