Earth and Enviroment

"Touch the earth,love the earth,honour the earth,her plains,her valley,her hills and her seas, rest your spirit in her solitary places."Henry Beston.

Of all planet in Solar System, our planet,Earth is the distinct planet.Not only because it is known planet to support life but also because it provides enough to satisfy every living creatures need.It provides all the required essential spheres of life.The physical and biological habitat that surrounds all beings on this earth is its enviroment.The earth and its enviroment give ways to life in variety of forms and manifestations-from the single-celled microscopic organisms to highly complex humanbeing.The great Mother Earth actually designed all living beings suited to a particular place and enviroment, where they can flourish,breed and survive untill distracted and dusturbed by other cruel and selfish creatures.

The ecosystem of earth is fragile and delicate.Its enviroment comprise of both living and non-living.Nonliving or physical enviroment includes land,air,water etc... and living enviroment includes flora and fauna,microbes and bacteria etc...There exist a highly sensitive relationship between living and non-living.There existence in  balanced and equilibrium state depends on network cycle of various activities.

Men's excessive greed,shortsightedness began exploiting pristine mother earth's resources beyond the acquired proportion and resulting irreversible enviromental degradation and contamination.And invites globally threatened scandal like Global warming and Climate change.

 Before our Mother Earth and its enviroment turns into worst enemy of mankind,it is time for us to be enviromental-friendly and work sustainably in all our activities.Let us keep distance  from this man-made complications by considering as an individual responsibility to save and protect Mother Earth from excessive Human pressure.

Chhimi Lhakhang

Located on a hilltop in the triangular apex of a fertile paddy field below Mitshina and National highway is a sacred site of drukpa lineage because of a lhakhang(monastery) built somewhere in  fifteenth century in honour of Lam Drukpa Kuenley,who was popularly knowm as "divine madman."

On 8th day of 7th month of bhutanese calander,it was Sunday that I promptly accepted nervous system call to pay visit to this sacred site.The preknowledge of this legendary lhakhang was that if a childless women visit lhakhang to offer prayers for fertility,their prayers will be granted and fulfilled.And I thought only childless women must visit lhakhang.The truth I revealed was that everyone,irrespective of married or unmarried,parents or childless,children or adult,male or female will visit and can seek blessing and kindness of great saint.Uniqueness of lhakhang from
other monasteries is that we are blessed with a bow and arrow of Lam Drukpa Khuenley and phallus.As I descended back from lhakhang,a feeling of contentment beeped gently within my self.

Lam  Drukpa kuenley was a highly accomplished Buddhist master and popular figure in Bhutan history.
