As a father, an adult man, a leader, and a teacher, I have heard enough of many things. I’ve lost half of my life. I also don’t know how long I will use the rest of my life. I have worked hard and been honest without looking for more benefits or rewards from my family, relatives, society, students, my colleagues, or immediate manager. I did what I felt was good…

An Oral History of Choegyal Drimed Kuenden’s Drupchhu at Kheng Panbang Twin Water Fall
Ven. Khenpo Thubten Dorji Rinpoche recognized Choegyal Drimed Kuenden Drupchhu in 2010. Drupchu is highly regarded in several Himalayan regions. The treasure revealers, often referred to as the tertons, claim to be in ter-kha. When the time comes, the Buddhist masters will acknowledge them. Near the twin waterfall on the Panbang-Nganglam highway, Chogyel Drimed Kuendhen’s Drupchu is still mostly unknown. On their way to the Panbang, many people pass the venerated sacred Drupchu. Just a few meters away is the…
Don’t air your grievances
Complaining will just make you feel worse about yourself. There is no way for you to improve your situation, and there never was. Words like “complain,” “moan,” and “groan” imply the presence of negative emotions, which hinder decision-making abilities. They will simply make you feel worse in general.

Continuity in joy and wealth is highly prized by me. I attribute my unquenchable thirst to the many people who share same ambition. The pursuit of tranquility and financial success is equally important to them.…
The biggest threat to social science fields’ long-term existence
The importance of the arts and humanities transcends all generations. The humanities and arts teach us a great deal about the past and assist us in predicting the future. When did the value of social science in the twenty-first century become debatable? Understanding the past is necessary for any growth process based on facts and the truth. Without a past, we cannot just jump to technocrats’ talents. The roots of…
What causes our lack of direction?
I’m curious as to where I’m headed. What I am sometimes doing. It affects my emotional state in life. The shift that is beneficial for the country has produced widespread terror among the Druk Yul populace. Did it make people believe it is normal and acceptable, or did it force them to feel the opposition has yet to be defined correctly? It demotivated many public workers, corporate workforces, and private…
What is Oral History?
Oral history can refer to formal, rehearsed accounts of the past presented by culturally sanctioned tradition-bearers; informal conversations about “the old days” among family members, neighbors, or coworkers; printed compilations of stories told about past and present experiences; and recorded interviews with individuals deemed to have an important story to tell. The term has value in each of these contexts. The spoken word has taught most people about history. History-conscious…
