15 down to nothing in Doha stadium.

        

The final score line read 15:0 in favor of Qatar against Bhutan. Is that really mean 15 down to nothing? I considered 15 mistakes learned for new start. The number of goals never bother me as our Dragon boys working hard and maintaining the same game spirits till the end whistle. Thump up boys.

I was shock with score. That wasn’t my prediction. I knew Bhutan would loss but with 6 or 7 goals.

I watch Premier league (England), Laliga (Spain) and few top teams of Europe countries’ club. What I observed from those top club play is they play bit defensive while they are playing away games. Did Bhutan play defensive in away game and knowing opponent is too strong for us?

Bhutan haven’t reach high as even other Asian countries’ national team in football but our coach consider our team as high. The lineup he used and tactic he used is more than adequate to judge him as bad coach. Our team cannot effort to play as other countries team. Our play should be defensive.

15 goals is the 15 mistakes that the coach made.  

Happy Birthday (fourth Druk Gyalpo).

                     

Fourth Druk Gyalpo (4th King)

The 11^th of November 2013 is near a doorstep. It is an hour to come. It was on 11^th November, on the auspicious day our benevolent fourth Druk Gyalpo was born.

 On the joyous occasion in Bhutanese society tomorrow, I would like to join every Bhutanese to wish our fourth king a happy birthday.

My deepest and greatest wishes to our king on his birthday are: Long live our fourth king Jigme Singye Wangchuk. May the happiness exist everywhere our king stay. 

New topic in the history of women in Bhutan

                           The new topic in the history of women in Bhutan.

The list of Ministers for second parliament on 25^th July 2013 create a new topic in the history of women in Bhutan. There were no women who had shoulders a Minister post till 2013 in the history of Bhutan. It was a same women so called Aum Dorji Choden who emerges as Women first engineer in late 20th century and today she was first women to be the minister. Now Lyonpo Dorji Choden was icon for Bhutanese women. She was brave women as she competes in male dominate society and could complete the race.

Lyonpo Dorji Choden was again the president of Druk Namrup Tshokpa, one of the party in Bhutan for Parliament. Leading a party itself was a great and it was a symbol of women competing with man in male dominate society.

For your bravery and good foot print for women in Bhutan, I would like to thank you from my heart with full hope that Bhutanese women will follow your good foot prints.

2013 was opposite to 2008.

                  2013, the 13^th of July was another shock.

I was eager, thinking when the 13^th of July 2013 will come but at the same time I was worried whether the faithful and loyal party will come to the power. In the due course of the time, the day of what I was actually waiting was come. The night of the day was again another worry for me.

The two parties that had qualify for primary round was Druk Phunsum Tshokpa (DPT) and People Democratic Party (PDP).The result of NA was going to declared in the evening of the day. The memory of 2008 election result for NA was fresh in my mind. I was having the doubt of same victory as that of 2008. The 2008 election for NA was in fact a landslide victory to DPT by PDP and making a world smallest opposing party. Of the 47 seats for NA, only 2 seats were for PDP in 2008.

I have predicted that the PDP will come as Opposing party with more number of seats. Minimum of 20 seats in NA was what I actually predicted. In deed I was having a decision that cannot be decided. Sometime, my mind said that the PDP will come as Ruling party and DPT as Ruling Party sometime. The unstable mind of mine was made stable with one thought, when the result of NA election was declared. It wasn’t stable although result was declared. The 15 seats were taken by DPT this time and remaining 32 seats were taken by DPD. With that result, the new government was created. PDP, the opposing party in first parliament session was Ruling party this time and the DPT, the ruling party in 2008 to 2013 NA was Opposing party.

I have no comment on result of NA for 2013 only if the present Ruling party does the duty well and fulfill their pledges. My comment on result of NA in 2013 will emerges when elected government does opposite to what they have said during campaigns periods.

Win 24 to form government

PDP32

Now, it’s time to give my heartfelt felicitation to both the parties for making to primary round and participate primary round successfully without any problems. To the new government, the Ruling party, PDP, Tashi Delek and hope your party will let the sun shine in every corner with justice. And to the new opposing party, DPT, thank you very much for your tireless, dedicate, faithful and hardship during last 5 years in your tenure and Tashi Delek for coming as opposing party.

GNH.................................................

Sparkling idea, GNH. Ranging from the humble people till the leader of the humble people, the brilliant idea, GNH is the central aim for their deed. Every individual are sweating in the name of pursuing GNH. I personally believe this marvelous idea would inspire the people of other countries and is inspiring and has been inspired many peoples. For further enhancing the quality of concept, GNH is to have calm, peace and stable mind. The arrogant, selfish, shrewd and dirty mind of people would helpless in enhancing the quality of philosophy, GNH. To obtain the calm, peace and stable mind which can be trusted by Buddha there is no other way than practicing regular meditation with sincerity but the alternative way that wait to obtain that contribute in enhancing the quality of GNH could be practicing Dharma.

When I say practicing Dharma I do not mean that one should enter as a monk and go for meditation in secret place. What I actually want to convince is having the mind of sympathy, empathy and having mind of helping other on top of having self discipline. Having minded of contrivable to GNH makes the vast difference with untrained mind. There is no question of gaining the trained mind (ideal mind) from untrained mind. One could simply attain the mind of trained mind only and only if you are the regular and sincere meditator. On the other hand you are the believer of Buddha. It’s not necessary; you are the follower of Buddha. Whatever you are following but the final aim you are leading to attain trained mind is more than sufficient.

The trained mind of the people is source which will contribute in enhancing the quality of GNH. When you proceed anything think you at least your task contribute to GNH. Talking endlessly about concept of GNH will never realize until you give relevant in GNH enhancing when you proceed anything.

Ache Lhamo Chham. Complied by jigme.

       Ache Lhomoi Chham. From Tshering tobgay's  blogs (opposition leader)

I’ve lifted the following description of the Ache Lhomoi dance  from the Asia-Pacific Database on Intangible Cultural Heritage. It was written by Lopen Phuntsho Gyeltshen of the Royal Academy of Performing Arts.
Ache Lhamo or Ashe Lhamo is regarded more as drama rather than dance, but many scholars accept it as dance-drama flourished in Bhutan since a long time back.
The characteristics
Ache Lhamo literally means Sister Goddess or Lady Goddess. This is performed by herdsmen once a year in keeping with the local customs. It tells or relates stories of people famed for their piety and miraculous achievements be it spiritual or temporal. The repertoire of this art was not very broad and the style of presentation cultivated by each group varies, although the overall performance of the general framework is the same. The dance by one man and a woman is accompanied by the rhythm of the cymbal and beating of the large-sided drum, while the story unfolds in operatic recitative and chorus. Aside from the main performance comic scenes are acted with great brilliance.
The Merak Saktenpa people perform this dance-drama once a year, for five days at a time. Apart from the yearly festival, Ache Lhamo is performed, at some great monastery or wealthy noble’s house and other special events of national importance.
History
The Tibetan saint and the bridge-builder Thangtong Gyalpo, in the 14th century, began his project of building iron bridges over many big rivers in Tibet. To provide adequate provisions for the laborers he developed an interesting means for collecting donations. The Chhongje Bena family with seven daughters was called upon and to each daughter he assigned different roles, while he himself beat the drum. A large audience was gathered and everyone who watched the play enjoyed it very much. This was the first time that drama was introduced in Tibet.
During the late 14th century, the saint expanded his activity of bridge construction over Bhutan, and it is believed that along with him this art traveled to Bhutan.
The saint regarded his building of iron-suspension bridges and related engineering feat as a practical application of thebodhisattva ideal, and his introduction of this dance-drama Ache Lhamo is in no way different from any Buddhist activity. He is also credited for the introduction of other classical dances and folk performing arts.
