Preparing Bhutan's next generation...

Bhutan is the country whose King declared "Gross National Happiness" the measure of the nations wealth; where the national congress declared seventy percent of Bhutan's forest to be protected wilderness; whose rivers are not fished because unnecessary taking of sentient life is unthinkable to the Bhutanese. One wonders how a culture such as Bhutan's can still exist in our cynical world. It is due in part to teachers such as Lopen Kado who hold the flame of Bhutan's special heritage.

One of the greatest living meditation masters of the twentieth century, Lopen Kado is really the heart of what makes up Bhutan's rich culture and way of life. Tashigang school is a place where these teachings are past on for future generations.
