Upon repeated invitation from Bjankhar lam, i along with a couple of frriends and some field staff went to Bjangkhar Lhakhang to attend tsechu. 
     As we set our journey,  the day was bright.  It was good to have the sun after some days of heavy downpour and gloom.  With blessed heart and glowed face we journeyed to the lhakhang through breath taking nature at her best.  The school children who were taken there for their cub investiture ceremony were more excited to play on the bridge over Dharangang River which is underutilized asset in the community. Some children were experiencing their first steps on the bridge.  Frightfully but carefully they step their feet and cross over. In few minutes their terrors were gone they were having fun running across. 
     We were welcomed heartily by the host and the people.  The children were served orange juice while we were treated with tea and chang.  About half the people in the community gathered there for the tsechu.  Forgeting their work and worries the people were seen having perfect rest,  talking and relaxing over a tokshing(bucket) of bangchang.  We could also join them and share some moments strengthening our bond with them.  Of course by involving ourselves in the community gatherings like that,  we could learn many things which we usually neglect in our life. 
      It had been a great moment for our school cub members.  They felt honoured to receive their scarves from the lam.  The moment was solemn as the cubs receive their scarves and make their cub promise. The idea of scouting penetrates even in the remote hamlets. And that the people especially the parents of the cubs feel proud to see their children receiving scarves from someone whom they regard as special person in their community. When we cannot club cub investiture with some significant events in the school,  it is hard to draw the people. And thus why not add little spice to the programme of the local festival.
     Towards the end of the programme,  the lam enlightened the people significance of the Lord Buddha's parinirvina coupled with his reinforcement on the need of merit accum7lation in their lives. 
     When i wasnt able to host cub investiture in the school,  i could do that day at the lhakhang.  When i wasnt able to do some good turns to commemorate the lord Buddhas parinirvina,  i could walk to the lhakhang and attend the religious activity there. May all sentient being have perfect time to rest.
