H.E. Ling Rinpoche Visits Jampa Lhakhang and Kurjey Lhakhang, the Two Most Sacred Temples in Bumthang
H.E. Kyabjé Ling Rinpoche visited two of Bumthang’s most sacred temples — Jampa Lhakhang and Kurjey Lhakhang.
Jampa Lhakhang, one of the oldest temples in Bhutan, is dedicated to Jampa (Maitreya) Buddha and is believed to be among the 108 temples built by King Songtsen Gampo of Tibet in the 7th century to subdue obstructing forces in the region.
Kurjey Lhakhang, meaning “the Body Imprint,” is where Guru Padmasambhava meditated in the 8th century, leaving His sacred body imprint in the rock cave. It is regarded as one of the most blessed spiritual sites in Bhutan, closely connected with the flourishing of Buddhism in the kingdom.
At both sacred sites, His Eminence offered Tsog, praying for the longevity of the Dharma, the well-being of all sentient beings, and the flourishing of peace and harmony.
Monks, devotees, and local residents offered a warm and heartfelt welcome to His Eminence throughout the visit, reflecting deep reverence and devotion.
