Zhabdrung Ngawang Namgyel (1594-1651)

‘If you are attached to small pleasures, you will not attain great happiness. Therefore, do not put this unceasing mind on other things; do not rest in shameless sleep; do not take joy in never ending prattle.’ These profound words of Zhabdrung Ngawang Namgyel (1594-1651) laid the foundation for an enduring legacy of wisdom.

On the 10th day of the third month of the Bhutanese calendar each year, all Bhutanese commemorate a deeply significant and sacred occasion. This day marks the parinirvana (passing into the state of ultimate peace) of the great master, the precious Zhabdrung Rinpoche, Ngawang Namgyal
