The history o the Lhakhang Pangbisa Ugyen Guru Lhakhang has the Kudung's head of Terton Sherab Mebar. Terton Sherab Mebar came to Ha valley from Kham (Tibet) in the 15th century. Above Ha valley there is a lake called Nuptshonapatra. From the bed of that lake Terton Sherab Mebar took out a trumpet, a drum, and a pair of cymbals by putting entire water of the lake into his mouth through his miraculous powers.   Along with those items he also found a golden pillar which Terton wants to offer to Paro Dzong. He asked some carpenters to cut out for him and as a reward the carpenters were asked to take the shavings of the pillar.  The carpenters became very greedy and started cutting the pillar in such a way that whole chunks dropped off from it. Watching their greediness Terton signaled with his head and warned them to stop as he could not talk but the carpenter paid no heed and took out more shavings of gold from the Pillar.

📑 Critical analysis of learning experience

Reflection on ICT as Constructive Tool One of the key messages from the session was “ICT is one of the effective methods to help construct and build knowledge.” It serves as a tool for manipulating information, constructing knowledge and visualizing our understanding. As the word ‘construction’ suggests, I learned that it helps us in stimulating our brain by developing critical and creative thinking skills. These skills help us to build motivation to learn and explore further for information.  The session on April 27th focused on collecting class data on each student’s weight and height information. Using the information collected, we then manipulated and organized the data by using formulas for categorization. To visualize our understanding, we created a graph which helped me to gain a clear understanding of the data collected. We also designed one-page stimulated advertisement to attract visitors using a PowerPoint presentation program where we used animation. In continuation of the

The Zhanag (ཞྭ་ནག་) or Black Hat dance is one of the most popular sacred cham dances without mask seen in Bhutan and other parts of the Buddhist Himalayas.

The robes are made of different colours of silk brocade and have striped patterns on the main body as well as the sleeves, which have a very broad end. The dancers wear the dorji gong (རྡོ་རྗེ་གོང་) shoulder cover and a dark apron with the wrathful face on it and tassels at the bottom. Inside the robe, the dancers wear their usual clothes and a pair of pink trousers. For the Zhanag dance, when people can aff
