Trip to Threlma Lhakhang

                    The Trip to Threlma Lhakhang.

We the members of Nangpai Zhenu (The young Buddhist) made trip to Threlma Lhakhang (located 2km from College of science and Technology) on 18^th of August 2013 lead by our prayer secretary and lopen Tshering, then the Dean Research. The trip to Threlma Lhakang was neither for fun nor for pilgrim. The only reason behind was to contribute something that will benefit to the people residing or monks who resides when they performed puja.

The emotional intelligence should be utilize for beneficiary purpose rather to waste in making nothing contribution to the society. The more important in today’s ages of world is EQ (emotional question) than an IQ (intelligence question). If a person is rich in EQ, the society considers him to be the best. A man with IQ is expected to have much ego than man with EQ. The helping hand will come if we have EQ rather than personal benefit with IQ. We the members of Nangpai Zhenu believe in EQ and 18^th August 2013 trip to Threlma Lhankhang was scheduled.

Usually, we start our morning prayer at 6:00 am but today we could start only at 6 pass as the consecration of Sertong of Mani Dungkhor 1 was in the line. The lama from CST gonpa consecrated the completion and building of Sertong in Dungkhor. We gathered in front of  Block D to moved towards Threlma Lhankhang at 8:30 am. As soon we arrived Lhakhang, we started cutting grass around the Lhakhang. 
I thank you on behalf of members and on my own behalf to Lopen Tshering and Caretaker (keynyer) of Lhakhang for refreshment served.

As we moved down, we came repairing road towards Lhakahng from higway. The filling of stones in the hole made by running water during rain and cutting of grass and bushes right and left of road was done. Finally, we were able to complete the task and reached to highways road. The plants that can be seen in the photo (sorry, I don’t know name of the plant) was taken from on the way to College to plant in College campus. We plate behind RK (Rinchen Khangzang)  and remaining in front of Block A. 

We the members are always ready for future trip to Lhakhang and many more.

Nangkor Gathering

                                 Nangkor Gathering.

The tradition of Nangkor gathering which was first introduce by 2009 batch of Nangkor student of CST. It was formally organized in 2012, in the summer semester as a farewell for 2008 batch (in their final semester) of Nangkor student here in College of Science and Technology when they are passing out. The trend of gathering continued in 2012, in the winter semester to welcome the new comers of 2012 batch and in 2013 (summer semester) as farewell for the founder of Nangkor gathering, the 2009 batch when they are passing out.

Similarly, we the student of Nangkor in CST, the followers of the founder of Nangkor gathering never forget the tradition introduce by 2009 batch. This year, the new comers of Nangkor to CST were two, Domtu Dorji and Pema Yoezer, the brother of Pema Choden (the member of founder of Nangkor gathering, the 2009 batch). Of course the number of newcomers is less but we believe lesser the number more effective in whatever we do with less mistake. With our little experience in CST for past few years we convey relevant words to our new comers of Nangkor. The Nangkor gathering for newcomers was organized by my batch (2011) on 6^th August 2013. The changes in Nangkor gathering this time was in regard to venue. The venue was in Phuntsholing town.  At 7:00 pm we moved from college to Phuntsholing.

After our arrival, the organizer (3^rd year) started the program. The drinks (soft drinks) were distributed. The introduction and welcome speech was delivered by our senior (Simple) in our mother tough (sharchopkha). Then we allow two first year to introduce themselves. After an hour of exchanging the feeling between us, we the Ex- Nangkorien, we had dinner.  The drinks (hard drinks) were served as soon we were done with dinner.  We moved back to college before the hard drinks drag us. With few bottles of hard drinks we return to college through short cut. We could arrive back to college after twice rest on the ways. One at starting of step from Phuntsholing (above stream) and other at rest place on the way to CST.  We had fun on the way while we rest. As a token of appreciation by two first years to seniors they even sung a song while we rest.

We don’t take the path (short cut to Gonpa) but we take the highway till college from gate of Gonpa. As we planned, we gathered at heliport and had fun with drinks. We played games and finally we dispersed at 12:30am. The dispersed of gathering remind us the next gathering for farewell of outgoing Nangkorien of present final year. Let us wait the time to come….. 

Life

                         Life, too short for doing merit deeds.

Life is like a transient of lightning and the roaring of thunder of the summer monsoon. In the transient period of life, do the deeds that everybody around you cherish and satisfy with what you have done. Never do and think of doing demerits deeds which will hurt people of your community. The capacity in you should be utilized in making the society peace and calm to realize and experience the harmony of society.

The every second and every minutes of our life period is precious time. One who understands the meaning of life knows the value of time and happy with the short life. They pursue the valuable goal of their life within the given period of life with no complain of saying life is too short.

The golden platform (we as a human being) that we are given due to previous karma in this life should not let to go in vain. The purpose of life in short period of life should be done with our good possible ways. The main purpose, I have in life is to repay to parents of present, past and future with dedication and sympathy. I may not wrong to say what I have for my life as purpose is your purpose. Unlike other living being we have a platform and capability to listen and practice dharma with good intention. So , utilize the opportunity we as a human has. 

We, on the earth for purpose.(Death is certain but when and where it will occur is uncertain).

                                    We, on the earth for purpose.

The day when we were born is the day the world rejoices upon us. Our parents were extremely happy for us for being born in their hand. If world rejoices upon you coming on the world on the first day, you should be wise enough to let the world rejoices upon you at last day, when you are departing from this wonderful world permanently. Happiness parent when you were born should also be happy when you leave this world permanently.

The world rejoice on you when you were born because world knows, you can do many remarkable tasks that benefit the world, when you are on the earth. World expect more from you. The single man coming on world is expectation of new changes for the world. The longer you stay on world are more reliable changes that last for longer duration that the world expects.

On the other hand, your parents are always happy with you. They are happy owing to you becoming more capable day by day and year by year. Your excellence in your field all together makes your parents happier than ever. As world expects you to be more meaningful man on this world, the parents too has same expectation. In spite of you being more meaningful person on this world your parent want you to be a happier man on the earth. The way your parent expects signifies that they care you more than what they can do it for you. They care you because they want you to be successful person.

The purpose of we on the earth is to make a life meaningful. To realize the meaning of life, we should have patient in listening and following the merit footprint of experts and parents. The valuable advices from elders including your parents are the key to excel your life in making it meaningful. More important I consider in my life than above all as a believer of Buddha teaching is the way you believe and having faith in birth after death. One having believed in birth after death will feel guilty of doing untidy task in your life. Having trust on what experts of Buddha teaching state “every animals on world are once our parent” and doing merit task will realize your parents dream. The only source that we can repay our thanking parent is having faith in Buddha teaching. To let the all sentient being of six realms to be happy let us have faith and believe in dharma and practice it. 

Your dream of life should be pursuing but never forget that we are given a day that we should left this world. The wealth you gathered, beauty you may be, and popular you are will appears nothing to any one when one go to sleep permanently. The wealth has no capability of rescuing you by giving wealth to other and same with your fame. The only help we will have, only if we did our deed pure, have kind mind to everyone with justice and practice dharma when we are living on the world.  It’s always good if we can remember Guru Rinpoche once a day and recite ba zar gu ru (om a hung ba zar guru pad ma se de hung) 100 times.

Death is certain but when and where it will occur is uncertain.

Guru Rinpoche la na mo.

Lagging behind the 21st century.

     Lagging behind the 21^st century. (Written when I was in college, staying with friends)

Expert says one should go ahead of age we are living in. We should question ourselves, why? The very simple logic that are absent in some of the people who reside in their resident: flashing of water after toileting, the damping of their leftover food and many more. These are all we have to have a simple common sense as a human being. The repeated notice of use water while toileting and damp leftover food in proper place was useless to those men who reside in their resident. In spite of having water in syntax they never flash water after toileting. Instead they complain of insufficient water in their resident. That was indeed an excuse for no strong reason.

If we teach any one, sometime animals, after repeated insist, even they do what we ask. For those hornless human being will never understand as they were brought up in the society that deprived of parent and elders advices. They were grown up in the society where they dominate society and had done whatever they wish to do. The difference in quality of thinking and acting should be present when we step up higher grade but to those people instead of what we aspect, they are developing a habit something similar to stone old age peoples.

The deed what we do in our daily life determines our quality of human. It’s not the matter of our permanent resident (city) that determines the quality. It’s not the post that determine the quality of human but the way of thinking and acting matters a lot. The higher grade we may be in but quality of human doesn’t come along with grade. We are responsible to have the quality of good human being. The bad habits that are the quality for bad human being should be do away gradually  and quality that appreciated by society should be picked up and implemented.

I as a believer of Buddha teaching, ( དགེ་བ་བཅུ་དང་མི་དགེ་བ་བཅུ།) would like to beg sorry for my mistake of ignorance to everyone who involve in above scene. I have no intention of hurting anyone by writing article but want everyone to understand the simple common sense of human being. As per as many of my friend concern, the article may applicable to one or two people. Whatever it may be I am writing on this topic just want to share what I believe. The thought keeping in my mind gives me tension. Its better I express and stay tension free.

སྨན་ཆུང་དྲིན་པའི་རྩོམ། (poem)

                       སྨན་ཆུང་དྲིན་པའི་རྩོམ།

དགའ་བའི་མཐོ་རིམ་སློབ་གྲྭ་ནང།

སྨན་ཆུང་བརྒྱ་དང་སྟོང་འཛོམས་འདུག

བརྒྱ་སྟོང་འཛོམས་ཏེ་ཡོད་རུང་རང།

ཁྱོད་གཟུགས་མཐོང་ནི་མེད་པ་འཁྲུལ།

དགའ་དགའ་ཁྱོད་ཀྱི་སླབ་མི་གཏམ།

འཛུམ་འཛུམ་ཁྱོད་ཀྱི་ཞལ་རས་འདི།

ལྷང་ལྷང་སེམས་ཁར་དྲིན་པའི་ཚེ།

སྐྱོ་སྐྱོ་བུ་ཆུང་ཧིང་ལས་སྐྱོ།

དམ་ཚིག་འབྱུར་བ་མེད་མི་འདི།

བུ་ཆུང་ཏ་བུ་སེམས་ཁར་ཡོད།

དམ་ཚིག་བར་ཆད་མེད་པ་འབད།

མཐོང་པའི་སྨོད་ལམ་ཡོད་མ་རེད།

ང་བཅས་གཉིས་ཀྱི་བར་ནང་ལུ།

དམ་ཚིག་གཙང་མ་བཞག་སྨ་རེད།

མི་ཚེ་རྨི་ལམ་ཏ་བུ་ལྟར།

མི་ཚེ་དགའ་སྤྲོད་འགྱུར་ད་དགེ།

སྨན་ཆུང་ཞལ་རས་འོད་སྟོང་དྲག།

ཏ་བུ་གནམ་ཁ་ཤར་ཏེ་བཞུགས།

འཛམ་གླིང་སྨུན་པ་གསལ་དེ་གི།

འཛམ་གླིང་དགའ་སྤྲོད་འབྱུང་བར་ཤོག

དབང་ཅན་མི་དང་ཡར་མ་སོང།

སྙམ་ཆུང་མི་དང་ཡར་མ་སོང།

དགྲ་སྙམ་མི་དང་ཡར་མ་སོང།

ཏ་བུ་ང་དང་སྡོད་གནང་མས།
