A PLACE YOU MUST VISIT

I Celebrated New Year 2018 with my family at Chorten Nyinpo, one of the holy places in Punakha.

It is one hour uphill journey from kabesa town, the road was rough enough to make my car, roar like a lion for several times, but it was worth it.

On reaching Chorten Nyinpo, I saw a Magnificent Monastery above a heavenly green valley, which overwhelmed me with an unprecedented clamness, for a moment it felt like a dream.

To match Monastery's magnificent appearance, there is an interesting story behind.

The huge tree pictured above, is actually a piece of burning wood thrown from a neighbouring village called Jelegang by none other than The Divine MadMan, Lam Drukpa Kuenley.

It is said that the burning wood piece has burned all the demons who used to gather at this place.

The stupa infront of the tree was build by Lam Drukpa Kuenley himself and it is believed that anyone who come to worship this stupa will have their wish fulfilled.

Inside the monastery we were blessed to have seen a rare one feet statue of Lam Drukpa Kuenley moulded by Lam himself. It is said that, the Lam had a brief conversation with this statue as:

LAM Drukpa Kinley: " Will you be able to look after the wellbeing of all the living being after I leave"

Statue:"Yes"

LAM Drukpa Kinley: " any one who come to this place to find refuge will you be able to help them"

Statue:"Yes"

It is interesting to know that this is the only statue of Lam Drukpa Kuenley holding Dramyen(Bhutanese Guitar), rest all other statue of Lam you see any where, will be holding a bow and arrows.

Another fact that captured by attention was the 12 feet statue of Jawo, the future Budha, build by Gyelse Tenzin Rabgay.

This is my family having lunch while  coming back.
Please don't get deceived by my son's look in this pic he is actually a very good boy...Any ways had a wonderful time
