Rest Your Mind in Bhutan

Rest Your Mind in Bhutan

Group Spiritual Tour
Duration: 6 nights / 7 days
Overview
Bhutan is the last bastion of Vajrayana Buddhism in the Himalayan Buddhist
world. Among all the sacred places blessed by Guru Padmasambhava in the
8th century, the Patron-saint said that ‘a place in Lhorong (southern gorges
which is present-day Bhutan) that I have not set my foot on, even the size of
a horse-hoof or sesame is not there!’
Padmasambhava instructed yogis to retreat in the hidden sacred land in the
southern gorges (Bhutan) for swift spiritual accomplishment. He visited
Bhutan 3 times and concealed his treasure teachings for future revelations
by his destined treasure discoverers called Tertons. In this journey you will
learn about the life and legacies of Bhutanese native Treasure Discoverer
Pema Lingpa (1450-1520).
Thuktro Tours’ special spiritual journey Rest Your Mind in Bhutan features 2
most sacred pilgrimage sites visited and blessed by Guru Padmasmabhava
in Bhutan: Chumphu nye in Paro and Paro Taktsang. Bhutanese believe the
blessings of the two pilgrimage hikes can sow seeds of liberation and
cleanse all the sins/negativities committed by the body (lue: body, dripa:
negativity / sins).

offering a well-rounded travel experience through three sacred valleys of
Paro, Thimphu and Punakha.
