  Bhutan has escaped the devastation suffered by its neighbor Tibet. Its Buddhist tradition, artistic heritage
remains intack and unequal elsewhere in the world. Religious places such as goemba (Mahayana Buddhist monastery and lhakang (god house) are of powerful source of inspiration for spiritual
practice. Roaming from one side to another, like wind that passes by without attaching itself to any of the places it flies over, prayer flag awakens the feeling of impermanence, reduces our attachment and puts everyday concerns that often make us forget what is really important in perspective.
After a few days spent in silence, enriched by the prayers they have offered, pilgrims return to their valley with joy in their hearts. So the offerings made at these sacred sites encourage generosity and non-attachment.
