Trend was introduced. Our Annual Tshechu in our village is our enjoyment.

We contribute in our small way to our society.

An annual tshechu for my village is schedule on 8^th, 9^th and 10^th of 10^th month of Bhutanese calendar. If the tshechu is to be conducted on 10^th month of Bhutanese calendar we the students cannot attend Tshechu as we are still in the school but our Lama Rinpoche (Buli Trulku) and the coordinators of Tshechu postpone the date of tshechu one month behind so that we the student can witness the Tshechu. Witnessing the Tshechu itself will purify our sin as great master said. We are very fortunate to have an opportunity to witness the Tshechu.

It was in the year 2009, when I was in class 11, the significant changes to our tshechu was introduced. During the tshechu time, the cultural show in between the Tshechu dance was performed by group of student of our villages. Under the coordinators of Ata Pema Wangchuck, Ata Yonten Chojay and Khotken Dorji Dubu (all three of them were the student of ILCS, Institute of Language and Cultural Studies) and the members including myself , Khotken Pema Dorji, Khotken Sonam Yeshi, Ata Wangdi Phuntsho, Khotken Lobzang, Charo Kinga, Charo Karma Wangda (Dungmanma Village) and Ata Sonam Wangchuk performed the cultural part. The most memorable song and the dance among we performed was the Lopen Phagpa Jutshen Jamyang Khen.  The song and the step of the dance are still fresh in my mind. Reflecting back the memorable event of 2009, an annual Tshechu of my village really touching till the bottom of my heart. It was the good trend that our cultural program coordinators of 2009 has ever introduced.

Unfortunately in the year 2010, due to unavoidable circumstance an Annual Tshechu couldn’t postponed to 11^th month of Bhutanese’s calendar. We couldn’t witness the Tshechu.

The coordinators ata Tashi Dorji,Yeshi Norbu and Pema Dorji coordinate the cultural parts during an Annual Tshechu of year 2011. Looking in to the memories of 2011, the enjoyment we had like the funny part, interesting part and irritating parts all together make me to say “we did that and waiting for our juniors to follow the trend”.

Now it was my turn to coordinate in the year 2012, during an Annual Tshechu. All the members for the year 2012 was young. My brother Gom Dorji, Charo Kinga Dorji and Charo Chaten help me in coordinating an events. Let the members be young but the coordination is more important. I could finally succeed my part in coordinating the cultural event of 2012. It was my achievement owing to my hardship and dedication towards the works. The success of that event will be part of my memory in my life.

 

2012

I dream if above memories rebound back so that I can once more experience the enjoyment memories. It is sad to know that the memories can no way rebound back. If I think beyond the thinking as member and coordinator of cultural part during tshechu, I have few thought coming on the way of sorrow path. I have already seen the first coordinator couldn’t attend second time and second coordinator couldn’t third time. What it signified? The only answer could be the impermanence of life and the busy of once life. When one is getting older and older, he or she cannot continue what he or she has done in previous year. I am feeling deeply sad to know I am following their path.

Finally, let me never forget to thank our Lama Rinpoche, Khenpo Rinpoche, and peoples of village for giving us a platform to perform like cultural show.

 Let our peoples be always happy and prosperity always follow them and long live our Eminence The Buli Trulku Rinpoche and Khenpo Rinpoche.
