On my fourth visit to Mongar Regional Refferal Hospital, i was visiting the blood bank section where the donation of blood take place. Turning onto left, i find a white synthetic cloth on the wall with slogans and addresses written. Peeking deep and reading through, there are lot more slogans"donate n save life" i will give u life if u need, i would die for you rather than not giving blood to u, i am O+ve please contact 17692994 if you need any help, i m B+ve contact, I am AB+ and the list just goes on but there was a slogan which said " i will not donate blood BUT" the sentence was incomplete. I dont know what really did that mean.
The next was we collected some number from the list and their names. One of my friend calls the number and at the other end a man replies, " i am A+ve and will come after few minutes if u need" and hangup the call only to hear "the number you are calling is switched off, please try again later". We call another number and it replies "the number you have dialled doesnot exists, please check the number and dial again". There were lots of contact number and blood groups given but we could get none.
It was my friends who donated the blood at last and hey friends you have saved one life and you will be always remembered.

TSAWAI LAM
H.E Kuenzang Tenpai Gyeltshen or popularly known as H.E. Gyeltshen Trulku was born to a humble couple near Chorten Kora in Trashiyangtse,Eastern Bhutan, in the year 1953. When he was about five or six years old, both his parents left the world and he had to be left to the care of his not-so kind relatives.
When Gyeltsen Trulku was nine years old, Lam Sonam Zangpo from Kurtoe, Lhuntse Dzongkhag had a vision in his meditation (showing the direction, locating the place –saying such type of place, Ri (mountain), near that type of Shing (tree), Dho (stone), river, etc…) and recognized as the incarnation of “Thrulzhi Lam Gyeltshen or Gyeltshen Marpa” by H.E Lam Sonam Zangpo and was installed as the incarnation to the seat of his predecessor.
For the last twenty three years (Age 34-57), he has been constantly helping the needy and directing those deserving and interested to embark on the path of enlightenment.
Meditation centres and Monasteries founded by His Eminence are:
Chang Gidaphu Lhakhar Chetshog in Thimphu, Minjay Dharchen Gonpa in Lhuntse, Tsanphu meditation centre, Larjap Drakhar Choeling meditation centre, Thangrong Khadam Gonpa Monastery, Khurizampa Ngadrak Institute in Mongar, Jashar woong meditation center,Jashar woong Anee monastery in Pemagatshel, Bikhar Goenpa Meditation centre,Khapti Goenpa meditation centre,Gongthung meditation centre,Kangpar Lamay Goenpa meditation centre, Khapti Goenpa monastery and,Kangpar Lamai Goenpa monastery in Tashigang, Baney Goenpa meditation centre, Baney Goenpa monastery In Trashiyangtse and now the CBDT is under the guidance of His Eminence.
In December,2009 His Eminence received the orange scarf with white lining from His Holiness the Je Khenpo in recognition of his success in East and here onto announced as " DRUPDHEY KHA GI UULA".
Being a follower of His Eminence and being blessed is something I never dreamt of. Being with His Eminence is something we would never forget and learning the lessons in Sharshop, Dzongkhag and Kurtoep make more understanding.

DO I DESERVE TO BE WITH THEM
During my days at IMS, Olakha I met with so many new friends. And one was Mr. Cheki Dorji who never shuts his mouth like a shooting diarrhea and I bet girls not to stay with him or else you would get old very soon with wrinkles due to huge laughs. At first he was to become a MD of cheki multi-studio at Thimphu which never got setup. Soon the presentation day and everyone was taken by surprise that MD of cheki multi-studio turned to become a Restaurant owner at Nganlam. Then he would never stop chewing Dhoma and sing like Samsung super singer in the class but found out that he would never be able to sing with tracks.
Another friend of mine, Mrs. Pema Zangmo who will be soon catering and owning a Dream Garden Restaurant at Kawajangsa is a mother of two and would never stop talking offsets and entertain. Sometimes she would call me for a lift from her place to class. With a huge smile on her face she never was bored. And despite her talkative nature the owner of Sonam Kid Care Centre, Mrs. Sonam Choden would accompany her and support her which in relation they were cousins.
Next, Mr. SonamZangpo, who is going to setup a tour agent for foreigner and in-country agays and angays is a man with hopes and inspiration who has dreamt his future and started to work on that. He would be accompanied by Mr. Gyembo Dorji, a graduate whose dreams are to become a businessman and with a project of setting up Organic Farm for the benefit of people of Bhutan. He is so silent that every boy and girl hesitates to talk to him. He never talks and never breaks the law but soon or later after having Three to Four Pegs of Special Courier (Brandy Whisky) his speech flows like a river.
How can we forget Mr. Karma Choidup, a businessman who is a contractor and now hoping to serve Bhutan and its people with motor car water servicing at Olakha. Named him as Rangthang, he never talks in English and he would never leave his beloved three friends sitting near to him. Always with a smile on his face most of the times he turns up late in the class. And late during our dinner it was him who never left getting attracted towards SANTABARBARA (port wine) where he was trying for the first time. Accompanying him was Mrs. Kinley Om, going to be the owner of Beauty parlor and SPA. And her friend Mrs. Wangdi Bidha who wants to start a Tailoring at thimphu. Wangdi Bidha never drinks wine but she would never leave her friends. It was her who was sitting idle with drunker till 11.30PM.
Then there is Mr. Amit Jasai who is also a graduate and at present who is going to start a partnership business of Floriculture and named it BBTECH. Being alone at home he never fails drinking after class and he has helped most of the trainees setting up and writing their plans. And I should call him my driving guide. It was he who guides me on the road where to turn and in which way to move. His business partner, Mrs. Wangmo who is also a graduate can be simply termed as ‘A girls of hidden talent’. With fluent English and spectacle she would deliver long entertaining speeches but I never knew that she would drink to her throat. A great dancer and with Spanish look she just keeps on filling up with wine and brandy. And at last it was Mr. Amit who had to reach her home safe.
Mrs. Deki Yangzom, who will own a Saloon at Paro town, is apple of most guys at IMS. At first she seemed to be so silent and simple. Mr. Tharka, MD of Jow Durshing(black mountain) Adventure was first to propose her but the time seems bad for him. Next Mr.Dechen Norbu, MD of SPA followed by TikaRam, Cheki Dorji, Rinchen and many. I would just go on teasing her with our instructors falling in love with her. Mrs. Deki would turn up with Apple MAC laptop on her table and NOKIA E81 mobile phone letting friends fall for her without herself being unnoticed. She is another singer who can sing to track and entertain with a clear childish voice but she never quits drinking.
And so called Mr. Dechen Norbu, who will soon be the owner and MD of SPA at thimphu is serious and damn super girls killer. For him its just come and go for money and girls. From no where he would start dialling a number and start proposing in calls and yet he is so lucky that everytime he dials the number it always is a spinster ready to mingle. He would carry a Fujitsu laptop full of trojan and bkk virus in that and he has distributed all the virus to IMS team and lab. This is the way he thanks his friends and remember. Mr. Tharka, presently working at Namgay Heritage and going to be MD of M/s Jow Durshing (Black Mountain) speaks Japanese, Italian, French, German, Hindi, Kheng, Bumthap, and lots to mention. Mr. Rinchen Dukpa who is a VTI graduate by profession will be soon seen at Thimphu with door to door service in electrical and electronics repair, petty contract and other sanitary works. He never talks and never fails to drink even during class hours. During presentation he already had 4pegs of Black mountain whiskey to get confidence while presenting. Bani Shankar, who is a taxi driver at present, is planning for poultry farm. He would pick and drop most of the classmates to the institute and home.
I have lots of friends to mention and list would just go on. Those were my friends who have touched me and love to be with them always.
Girls’ u better doesn’t fall for Him. He is our Instructor and married. Mr. Kezang Wangchuk Wangdi, who graduated from Sherubtse and at present a faculty of Institute for Management Studies is indeed a younger to me but has a thought, brain, knowledge far better than us. He is an instructor who can depend and frankly speak or ask. I thought he never minds but at onetime someone from class has told that he has a partiality and know what… he was even to reject the business plan. If it was me I would have kicked that person out of the class. Thanks that we never had that person in our class when it was about to end and thanks that Sir has more understanding and greater thoughts than them. I would grately apologize on behalf of the class and in our life it just happens unexpected. Mr. Kezang’s business rule of “Customers are always right” if customers are wrong refer rule no.1’ was the most touching and funniest law and that will be always remembered. During lunch and break time we used to order coffee, lunch and snacks for ourselves and billed upon us but it would be paid by Mr. Kelzang without our knowledge and we would just sneak out feeling uneasy to thank as we ordered a lot and billed him too much. Having an Instructor like our friend is something which we would have never deserved. We were very lucky to have him instructing us and sharing his time with us. If you want to be friend with him then please don’t forget to stock Tiger Beer ‘cause this is his Brand. It was one of the most remembered times with Mr.Kezang Wangchuk Wangdi. We wish you all the best in everything you do and hoping that you would keep the same spirit and let us feel proud that you have taught us and have lived our days happily with you.
I have met you, I have live with you, I have enjoyed with you and do always keep in touch. You all have made my days so interesting and proud to be your friend. Love you all.
Another friend of mine, Mrs. Pema Zangmo who will be soon catering and owning a Dream Garden Restaurant at Kawajangsa is a mother of two and would never stop talking offsets and entertain.

Stay at Thimphu
Never thought I would be visiting back 'Gyelsa-Te'wa' but we cannot avoid being a capital of Bhutan and everything done at capital with Head offices. For me being from remote and coming to a place where people and traffic are new to me is a venture into new world.
On Friday 10th December,2010 my first visit to thimphu began where i had to call my friend to drive my car from Semtokha to ministry of labour and human resources only to find myself lost watching passerby and stuck with thoughts of driving in this city. I would be driving for atleast a month in this city alone and with conjested vehicle and people it would be a drivers worse nightmare and fright of driving into wrong direction and wrong place.
After my visit at MOLHR I am directed to go back to Institute of Management Studies at Olakha and now what!! Drive from MOLHR to Olakha without any knowledge where I am going and where that road leads to. Should have asked my friends to drive but all were busy in their office. I am forced to drive alone. By now I am following a taxi-wagonR down the road and into some parking area. The taxi stopped for parking and now i am alone again. Ok I giveup until someone turns up. So I too parked my car near a space next to taxi only to hear a traffic police blowing his whistle..." wai choe ya taxi inna?" I didnt understand what he meant to say but i simply pulled out my car and started following the car infront and now its time i call a guide for me. Dialled a number of my friend and now from the other end the first question is.... "Where are you?" where am i? what do I say? I dont know any place yet. Ok I am following a car and driving myself and dont know where I am at the moment. I just see one round about approaching near. The other end answers.. " Just drive towards you left".And soon I am on the main road leading me to Olakha and it almost took 1 hour to reach my class at Institute for Management and Studies and entered the class.
The Class has already started and everyone silently staring at me eagerly waiting to know who I was.
I had to stay with my friend at Taba and it was a long drive from Olakha to Home. Day by day my driving skills at Town increased and oncemore I reach the place where I followed a taxi. When I now look and recollect why a traffic police asked me if i were a taxi too, I had been following the taxi and when taxi parked in Taxi parking loat I too had parked my car in Taxi parking and that was the reason my traffic police blew his whistle.
A week passed and my first journey was towards RMA, where i went to meet one of my online friend Clumsy who boldly invited and took me to their canteen and served me. I was accompanying a friend incase i forget the road back. Soon as now I am perfect with Oneway, round about and parkings. I have no problem and just go on spending Five to Ten Ngeltrum a parking fee. Tell me to drive you around town and i am ready. Tell me to drop you to zangdopelri, kawajangsa, kalabazar, taba, dechenling, mutithang, swimming pool area or anywhere i am ready now.
A month class just passes by at IMS, olakha. At first everyone is in their own world with new faces and not having the guts to talk to each other or introduce. Day by day we become closer and know better. By the time we know each other its time for us to depart. With sad faces we are oncemore departing from new friends we never knew and wouldnt have known before attending the classes at IMS.
Out of 27 trainees, 15 of us are organising a dinner and vote of thanks to our superiors and instructors at Ugyen Hotel on 14th January,2011 and that night was a night to be remembered by all and so special and everybody would love to have the same chance again.
MR. KEZANG WANGCHUK WANGDI... Instructor for BEC.
MR. ROHIT, IT OF IMS.
MR. UGYEN, INSTRUCTOR AT IMS.
I personally thank these three faculty for their valuable time with us and being with us in every step we make. Without them the course would have been incomplete and have not been so successful. Thank you once again.

DRUGS n ME
During my primary education I used to hate people who smoke which also includes my parent where by they never were able to live happily without a pop of Beri, or Bandhar Surtii (A tobacco brand). They would always have a choice of brands. Didn't even think that one day I would be proving worse than they.
Marijuana was my first of type and my drug of choice. It started as just trying them out of curiosity to I cannot have a good time without them. Later I got myself upgraded to NO2 which is a inhalant and then how can I forget "DENDRITE" another inhalant. Or rather I would drink alcohol and then inhale to mix the effects of them to obtain a higher euphoric or normally termed as "getting High" or "Kick". At first it needed only some pops of marijuana to get me kicked or say three to four pops to get kicked by dendrite but gradually the kick time increases day by day. I used to have small blackouts and stop breathing for more than a few seconds. My family and friends have no idea of what I am up to or what really I am doing behind the curtains of my happy face and trying to be normal person as if nothing has happened. When sober, I feel anxious, the need to be alone and I avoid social interaction or public gathering as much as possible and that has still affected me. I don't even remember how I reach or attain classes and my looks betray. I used to feel so guilty, empty, powerless, pissed, and temptation of doing such to get high would help me. It would have been my own thought since then that drugging helps me feel happy and powerful not knowing that it's the brain being affected. Sometimes I would be trying Asprin or peracetamol before smoking marijuana to get myself high. Everyone did knew and do know that drugging is bad and cause lives but this has already overrun my life. Everyone is same. If something good happens we would be happy and love ourselves. If something bad happen it's only to be blamed GOD. Even my dreams were filled scoring dendrite and marijuana. If someone tries to stop me from my binging I used to become angry and convinced that they are jealous because they are not doing what I am doing. I don't know how many, but I did dragged lots of friend to drugging and some became more addicted than me. In studies I never failed but surely I did lost my ranks.
Within ourselves a ego would be developed. Thoughts come over that drugging is bad. Want to stop but the addiction never lets to. When I say addiction I wasn't one of those people who always ask for another cigarette every 5 minutes, I was one of those who had 2 or 3 a day or less.
Why drugs? When we have yet a long life to live and make a living worthwhile. After 5 years I could eventually stop drugging but stopping suddenly can even cause death. When our body gets adapted to a drugging environment, and changing the system cause madness and such a mess . I want to share some points what really it happens while drugging:-
Drugs usually attack the communication system of our brain. Drugs are chemicals. They disturb send, receive, and process information that a brain carry. Different drugs work differently.( A pain killer will stop or ease your pain because it starts blocking the passage of pain message sent through the nerves to the brain.) In fact, some drugs can change the brain in ways that last long after the person has stopped taking drugs, maybe even permanently. This is more likely when a drug is taken repeatedly.
Some drugs, such as marijuana and heroin, activate neurons because their chemical structure mimics that of a natural neurotransmitter. They actually change the way brain works. Wong information would be collected and sent to brain.
All drugs of abuse—nicotine, cocaine, marijuana, and others—affect the brain's "reward" circuit, which is part of the brain system. Normally, the reward circuit responds to pleasurable experiences, which creates feelings of pleasure, and tells the brain that this is something important—pay attention and remember it. Drugs hijack this system, This flood of dopamine is what causes the "high" or euphoria associated with drug abuse. ( I read those in one of the books… name forgot). Through my experience, A marijuana user may experience pleasant sensations, colors and sounds may seem more intense, and time appears to pass very slowly. The user's mouth feels dry, and he or she may suddenly become very hungry and thirsty. His or her hands may tremble and grow cold. The euphoria passes after awhile, and then the user may feel sleepy or depressed. Occasionally, marijuana use produces anxiety, fear, distrust, or panic." Within a few minutes after inhaling marijuana smoke, an individual's heart begins beating more rapidly, and blood vessels in the eyes expand, making the eyes look red. This effect can be greater if other drugs are taken with marijuana.
SAY NO TO DRUGS and never ever try even once.

All drugs of abuse—nicotine, cocaine, marijuana, and others—affect the brain's "reward" circuit, which is part of the brain system. Normally, the reward circuit responds to pleasurable experiences, which creates feelings of pleasure, and tells the brain that this is something important—pay attention and remember it. Drugs hijack this system, This flood of dopamine is what causes the "high" or euphoria associated with drug abuse. ( I read those in one of the books… name forgot). Through my experience, A marijuana user may experience pleasant sensations, colors and sounds may seem more intense, and time appears to pass very slowly. The user's mouth feels dry, and he or she may suddenly become very hungry and thirsty. His or her hands may tremble and grow cold. The euphoria passes after awhile, and then the user may feel sleepy or depressed. Occasionally, marijuana use produces anxiety, fear, distrust, or panic." Within a few minutes after inhaling marijuana smoke, an individual's heart begins beating more rapidly, and blood vessels in the eyes expand, making the eyes look red. This effect can be greater if other drugs are taken with marijuana.
SAY NO TO DRUGS and never ever try even once.

LIFE STARTS and IT GOES ON
THE OTHER SIDE OF ME
The winter Vacation ended so fast with friends and parent. It’s already March and time for me to go. Packing of Beddings, Buying of School Dresses and other eatable stuffs got packed and tomorrow I am going far away from Home for the First time in boarding school. I will be studying in Class VII.
The Academic session started with all unknown friends missing home and parents for a month. Day by day, month by month I have more friends and becoming comfortable with them. One of my friend Tshering, a sharchop and a daughter of Police officer was too close to me. As the days passed by we used to sit together for meals, for morning studies which we used to study in the class. A month passed and friends started teasing us, making fun of us yet I have been too innocent to know. I have started missing her when she is not around, I used to feel too lonely when not around. Don’t know what I should do and one day one of my friends termed it as LOVE. Am I really in love with her? This is the first time I know the term myself. Yea I think I am in love with her. Now what is next?? Next day I am ready to propose her and speak my love not even giving a thought what if she rejects!!!! Ok I am ready to propose her now…. Called her to the class after the morning study… Ok I started.. “Maybe this will be too surprising for you but I cannot just let it die in my heart; I think I am in Love with u” and I haven’t finished my speech yet before she interrupts… Hey I am so sorry, I already have a boyfriend and you know what would have come across my face!!! Oh GOD…. I m late in proposing her now! Yea I am.
From the next day I cannot even face her. I don’t know I am embarrassed or shy or maybe I have started hating her. We have stopped talking, meeting, and a lot and that is where my new life begins. At first I was just drinking beer or some other drinks to keep myself away from her and I don’t know when did I became so addicted to Alcohol now. Soon or later I have started taking Drugs (marijuana) and I am drugs addict too but for whom or why? I don’t think I have a bigger reason then to just get away from my thoughts and to keep myself away from her.
It’s July, 2000 and now its 4years passed being addicted to drugs and alcohol and keeping my promise never to turn back to girls again or give a second thought in LOVE. I have always hated love and the relationship. Being with friends and enjoying with my friends were my hobbies. By October my parental home burns to ground and have got too many loads on me now but I haven’t left drugging and drinking.
After many hard knocks and a few cruel lessons in life I completely turned my life around from nothing, a sad looser that probably spent all the time on the chair sitting or on the bed sleeping even during day. Am I going to spend my whole life in that? Soon after class X, My interest took me to RTI to be enrolled in Electrical and Electronics Engineering. By then it was 2002 and I already in 20s. Now I have my seniors briefing me and seniors bullying, advising me, Ragging and most of the time I end up being scolded from my brother too. “Hopefully one day you too will take the step to get what you want out of life and takes the success you deserve with both hands, as life doesn't last forever and it's ending one minute at a time! Each day wasted is a day you'll never get back, success doesn't wait for tomorrow” Those were my brothers advice. From my own experience, I know how easy it is to get stuck in a rut and then this becomes a routine, normal everyday living, I've been there; if you fall down….. ….. or you're if you're stuck it does take a helping hand and some guidance to get back on your feet and onto the right path in life, a mentor to show you how to escape the daily grind as well as a little effort to get out and get on living the life you want to lead. I doubt it could be possible to do alone, being wedged in a life you not happy with just becomes the habit, it's nearly impossible to break it all alone and at once. Day by day I minimized taking drugs and alcohol and by December, 02 I totally stopped those substances. Am I doing the right thing? Yea of course it made my brother and parents happy. And myself, I had tough time leaving them behind. Now I am free from alcohol and Drugs and maybe I am not that good to be called a gentleman but to myself I have perfected my life.

GOMPHUKORA
INTRODUCTION:
Located 32Km from Tashiyangtse and 2Km from Duksum is one of the Bhutans sacred place blessed by Guru Rimpoche. It falls under Tongshang Gewog of Trashiyangtse and situated near to Tashiyangtse Tashigang highway.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE VISIT OF GURU RIMPOCHE TO GOMPHU KORA
Gomphu Cora is a site where Guru Rimpoche subdued the demon and legend has its story that Guru Rimpoche meditated in Gomphu Kora Stone for Three months and some would say Guru meditated three days at Gomphu Kora and Three Months at KapaliPhu. No books or source is available and cannot be acertain about this legend. It is possible that the documents of Gomphucora could be available with some of the people of Tawang. The Document/manuscript of Gomphucora got burnt when the resident of the caretaker caught fire.
The demon Mongkhapa also locally called as SewangNagpo escaped from Tibet Samye during Guru's visit to Tibet following through Tawang and through Duksum and on reaching GomphuCora, he stopped fleeing further and took the hiding place near the river in the Black Big Stone. (It is also said that the demon was called Gyenen Chophel alias Yonglha who was a classmate of Guru Rinpoche at Nalanda University who attained high level spiritual powers which took guru long time to subdue.Yonglha was misled and he followed the wrong path and thus went against the Buddha Dharma.)
It is said that when the Guru was meditating near the stone the demon attempted various tricks to escape from there and showed all demonic manifestations which even he pierced the stone from inside and made his way through underground and even scared away Guru Rimpoche. Thus we can still see the Print of Gurus Hat in the entrance to Stone. The demons menifestation and power includes piercing of the Rock and transformation of himself into fericious snake standing like Cobra. Guru Rimpoche transformed himself to Garuda and tamed the Demon. Still the imprint can be seen on the stone. From there the Demon escapes peircing through the stone and in early days it said that the demon made his way underground from the stone to nearby river. It is said that later the underground tunnel was being blocked after people being lost who goes into the tunnel. Guru Rimpoche blessed the tunnel and transformed into sacred tunnel and people who ever enters the tunnel; his/her sins be cleansed. According to the Legend it is said that the demon escaped from GomphuKora cave and then its subdued forever in the stone cave and elevated as the protector of Gomphucora after reaching Tsergom, 3kms from the Cave. Still we can see the seal of oath at Tsergom cave as a RED seal of Guru. Sometimes it is said that devotee who visit the tsergom cave with faith and devotion can see the image of Guru in the Thumb print on the stone.
Some people would also say that the Gomphukora demon and the Tsergom Demon are different. And due to absence of written text/manuscripts it is not sure wether they were same or different. The entrance to the stone tunnel can be found to the North Part of the Stone. And the exit from a different hole.
While Guru Rimpoche was residing at GomphuKora, Tibets King, Thrisong Deutsen became seriously ill and bed ridden. The message was being sent to Guru and then sent his Disciple Atsara Salaioo to Meratika in Nepal to get the tshebum. When his disciple returned from nepal to Gomphukora with Tshebum, the king passed away and then concealed the Tshebum brought from Meritaka inside the stone as gTer and meditated for three days. During Auspicious days we can still see the drupchu/holywater coming out of Stone as considered the holy water coming out from hidden gTer, Tshebum.
Som artifacts like statue of Buddha, Dragons Egg, Dhamze Rilbu, Guru's footprint, Trangtring(small hand drum) of Guru, Guru's Pony and Footprint of gurus khandro can be seen at Gomphucora Lhakhang.
THE GOMPHU KORA FESTIVAL
The famous festival of the east, Gomkora or Gomphukora is celebrated on 10th day of Bhutanese 2nd Month. The festival which draws people from whole Bhutan was being started 400 years ago after Lhakhang was built by Lam Ngagi Wangchuk. And the practise of wooeing and marriage still previals during these three day Festival. Right after the Chortencora festival, people folk down for Gomphu kora festival including the people from Tawang. The businessman, People from all over would make Gomphukora Tshechu one of the most famous Festival in Eastern Bhutan. As most people gather for the festival the business ventures during those festival runs good. Grocery,Dhaka sales, Resturant, Gambling,Health exibitions,etc can be seen during these festival.
Of the many place visited by Guru Rimpoche, The Gomphu Kora meaning Gom=meditation,Phu=cave, Kora=circumambulate, is one of the blessed sacred sites. Some places where Guru visited are unknown to us or is not known or lost to us. Pilgrims and devotee who visit and pay homage where Guru Rimpoche has resided is a key and a seeds to liberation. Visiting sacred sites of Guru with faith,devotion would be blessed and wishes fulfilled and will be taken the path to pureland of SAMSARA.
