As a Buddhist nation, Buddhism is very much imbibed in our daily lives. The first thing we do in the morning before having a cup of hot butter tea (suja) is going to alter and offer our prayers for the well-being of all sentient beings in the world. According to the Great Buddhist Saint Guru Padmasambhava, Bhutan is noted as the most sacred and sanctified paradise in the universe. Thus if we make an effort to chant or say prayers in some of the most venerated monastery and pilgrim sites, the prayers and wishes are believed to come true. Therefore, our company offers a special prayer ceremony for guests to pay homage to the regional deity.
Besides the ceremony, if our guests are interested to learn deeply about Buddhism we also offer rituals such as teachings and blessings by respected lamas, the changing and hosting annually of the village prayer-flags for the prosperity and well-being of the community, the consecration of buildings and community prayers and fasting ceremonies.
We also let our guests hang prayer flags on the hilltop, along the bridges, etc. because it is believed that the deed will bring good luck, happiness, long life and offer good karma to all sentient beings.
Hung high to catch the wind, they are placed there because they are believed to bring good luck, happiness, long life and to offer good karma to all sentient beings.
