My Word In Seeing The Truth:
Endless Rays of Blessings From Lord Jampelyang
Today along
with rows of students I prayed “OM AAH RAPATSA NADHI” fervently to the Lord
Jampelyang and it was an enlightening minutes to see the plants flowering. Spring
welcoming the colors. Sun shining; wind blowing gently around the land. Mind is
quite in the Spontaneous presence of my being.
For my past
Schooling days, I don’t remember experiencing such joy from the School.However,
my daily inspiration is outsourced from the guidance and blessings from lord
Jampelyang.
Seeing the
Pelyangphodrang standing majestically
in School is enough to take me back to my learning story in the School. It has been a nuxes of devotion I felt for after
looking around the school corners and sizes of the rooms. More than a decade I have
been praying to make some sense to my lord. Yet it was a big achievement I take
from my schooling days from the Spiritual Point of view.
Bhutanese
children integrating the Varjanyana Buddhism is a very life time golden
opportunity. Of course there the core of curriculum setting range from the
foreign ideas to our tradition settings but chanting of the praise’s prayer to
the Lord is quite unique story of our successful schoolings.
Lord Jampelyang is guiding us every time. Our
works in educating the heart and mind of students come from the wisdom minds of
the Lord. Every sound, every word, is the very manifestations of the Lord
Jampelyang. Such is the Blessings in the learning and understanding the World.
Recently,
I screened the Documentary film by Khentse Norbu on “Finding Manjushree’ to my Class eight
students in one of the classes. I downloaded the film from you- tube.

The Story is about Lodro who struggles
to meet the lord Manjushri in Person. Lodro is a Tibetan monk studying in one
of the Temple in India. He is a bright as always want to prove the best out of
best. Somewhere in his learning, he reads that people will meet Jetsen Jampelying
in person if they visit to the mount WUTAISHEN.
Every day he dreams of reaching
the mount WUTAISHEN and he keeps on asking permission from the lama to reach
there. Upon his everyday wishes, lama grants him to go on pilgrimage to China.
Lodro, having journeyed on top of
mount WUITASHAIN he couldn’t see the lord but totally defeats by the snowflakes
and the rains. Sadly, he does not see the Lord. Upon his return from the China,
he sees many dreams. The dream is very enough to knock the Presence of Lord
Jampelyang everywhere. In one o dream he meets the precious Horse and reads the
letter handed by one of the man in hostel that he had stayed. Excitedly he goes
back to his monastery
Apparently the lama in the Monastery that he
has been studying was an emanation of Lord.
Final message
from the Lodro’s trip is Lord Jampelying is residing everywhere in the minds of
all being unless you seek with the power of devotion.
After watching
the video, my Students were started to fall in love with the lord Jampelyang,
their devotion and the faith are rooted in their mindstream. May they become
the Child of Lord!
To spell
KA and KHA is big blessings in my learning world. Similarly, all the Bhutanese
children did get the equal share of the blessings from the lord. Whatever achievements
I have made so far shall be credited to the lord.
Once again going back to the
place where bell is ringing to sense the presence of lord and seeing the statue
of Lord Jampelyang is a stock of blessing for my life.

My Word In Seeing The Truth:
Warning Sign on Electric Poles
Danger sign that we see on electric poles and
machines doesn’t serve its purpose to Human. Instead danger sign has to be
placed to few human beings who wear the mask in deceiving the self and people,
harming the nature and leading the people wrongly. Electric poles never kill a
man unless we mishandle it!
What a shame if Bhutanese doesn’t know what is “THAADAMTSE and LAYJUMDRE” not
simply put the theory to the outside world as ones identity.
This danger sign for man is needed in this period of
time. We don’t have time to investigate
the corrupted man in the nation. We don’t have the lab to test the human
beings. How harmonious it would be with others if we were made to wear it.
Societal problem arises because we don’t have such Warning Sign tag for us. We are well aware of the threat posed by the electric
poles and the ATOM bomb; but man is found more dangerous than the poles and
machines.
The very
goodness of human is run by the qualities like appreciations, trust and understanding,
love,morality, respect but only rarity are found of valuing it.
Few man of ours need to be run by this danger sign
name tags because human are so aggressive against nature. Throughout history,
man has found the way to greater exploitation of the Mother Nature. Trees, birds and animals must be scared to see you equipped with powered chain, giant excavator, and bomb to destroy them.
Good Human
doesn’t require the ratings and tags for identifications. They are known by
actions and the way they deal the world.Few humans are real demon because they threat the
whole universe with hatred, suspicion, injustice, dishonesty etc.
I would ran manufacturing Company to produce
the tag written as danger with crossed sign and let deserving ones wear the
tag, so that other easily avoid them the moment you see with sign on their neck
because you don’t go near electric poles to avoid the danger. This business will hit the market at this age.
If you are getting stumble in the fog of those dreadful diseases like,
everyday wisdom of living will be lost gradually. More than the wrathful Guru Dorji Drolley
and Denagchuk are not going to work beside the Educations. WARNING SIGN WILL.

My Word In Seeing The Truth:
‘Cheers’ is not in Bhutanese Drinking Culture
Disclaimer: I am
neither a right person nor a social critic to write on Culture settings of
ours. However, Culture is subjective and works on the relative level of
individuals. I feel the need to write my little observation in the change of
drinking habits over time. The little gesture of word “KUZUZANGPO LA” is enough
to win the heart of foreigners, “CHEERS “is same with Bhutanese to them.
Therefore, I wrote on behave of those who are likely to fall in the menace of recently
picked up drinking Culture.
In the practice of promoting and
reforming our culture, we Bhutanese have got a fair share to bark and spark the
discussion whenever cultural aspects come into matters. Because we take too
much pride in those practices and we have got preservative genes coming to
cultural adoptions. That’s a Bhutanese way of doing!
Ironically, Bhutanese’s wants to
regulate the rules on Tobacco consumption and accept drinking as big culture
practices, besides knowing the pain of your liver and depreciating economy, still we want to get along the habits.
Visiting Shops and Bar on free hours, hearing the unheard voices that were floating
inside alcoholic scented rooms ; words, laughter, quarrels taking roots from self-aggression
to self-gratifyingly talk of the day among few heads and mouth . I visit to
those bars besides risking myself to fall in prey of temptations. Or later I
join them in the discussions.

Many a times I have met an admirable
drinker, and I don’t know how consciously they drink better than an act with liquor. I saw some really never know the origin of clinking cups,
or know what really it is meant for. For few adore the acts than getting the
real taste of the drink.
However, many like imitating the
preliminary test of the drink “Cheers”. Before, knowing the stranger and become
an abusive drinking friend in the area, the idea of cheers works a lot. So,
stranger like joining the crowds accidentally. WOW! A cheer is must here! Later
it is picked into habit to that of Pavlov‘s dog experiments, so conditioned to
the sound and cups. This act has been so romantic and it’s robbing all the
Bhutanese heart to drinking culture.
I was surprised to see my little
brother who is just two year old wants to produce the “clinking” sound from the
glass with his mother. He wanted to toss it and take a sip from the cup. It’s
obvious that he picked from family drinking practices or from visiting to the Bars.
In my experience of watching those drinking
rituals, I haven’t seen my Grandfather “Clink”
his cup with his Grandmother. Of course, I have seen as tradition embracing the
practice of host always drinking a drop first to test the nature of the drink.
I don’t have to be judgmental in any
case for the person who drinks, but the problem is with this theory of “Cheers”
that is propagating among youth. Little sound from glass and word cheers doesn’t
suits in front of innocent eyes.It is inviting our young heart to pick up the
habits. The sound of the clinking cups, colorful liquid in a glass is so appealing
to opt for liquid than a healthy food.
Now it’s a big question to those
cultural sycophants that your timely bark is needed here to take notice of
those small acts that are ridiculously practiced and promoted at homes,
restaurants, social gatherings and Bars. Not only point your fingers to the way
your son has brushed the hairs or painted eyes of your daughters. “Cheers” too doesn’t
become an acceptable part of Bhutanese drinking habits.
This Small act of western origin is
going to inherit the coming generations too.
If we really take the pride as a custodian of rich Cultures, is this act acceptable and doable in
our cultural settings?
Finally if you feel that “Cheers” is must in promoting your drinking
habits and want to give this gift to younger generations of ours from you, the
choice is yours!. Better, Chant long Marchang Prayer if you really want to
bolster the blessings of your drinking rituals, it may be called as a true
Drukpa’s way of drinking. So our youth may also get bored in reciting a long
chants and give up the drinking Habit. And foreigner may also join you to
sponsor you a drink.
Declarations: Never
intent to demean anyone. “MY voice is my concern.”
