ཨྱོན་གུ་རུའི་སྦས་གནས། གནས་ཆེན་རོང་རྩེ། A Guide to Sacred Site of Guru Rinpoche- Rongtse Ney
'Rongtse Ney' is gaining popularity now. It is an incredibly magnificent sacred site of Guru Rinpoche and Khandro Yeshey Tshogyal. Pilgrims who wish to visit this sacred site may grab a copy of this book as it covers the entire description of the objects and various depictions. A must-read for pilgrims who wish/plan to visit Rongtse.
Lyonpo Powdyel’s book is a small big book. The work is the crystalline representation of author’s holistic vision of education. It is small book with just 63 pages but its free-flowing poetry, profound wisdom and practical insights on education makes it a big book. He calls it an outline but what I see is, the book invokes profound ideas and dreams of how the overall vision of education should look like. The book derives its inspiration from the holistic development ideals of ‘Gross National Happiness’. It presents eight holistic elements- Natural, Social, Cultural, Intellectual, Academic, Aesthetic, Spiritual and Moral Greenery in the form of the ‘Sherig Mandala’.
The book also presents ‘The Triangle Noble’ that places the teacher at the centre. It sums up what an individual should possess and embody to be a better teacher in a green school i.e. the passion for learning, love of children and the conviction of the power of education. The author also mentions that qualities of a green school are not and ought not to be limited to the seats of learning alone, we can and ought to have green homes, green offices, green corporations, green politics, green parliaments, green courts, green villages, green towns, green cities and, most of all, green minds.
The book ends with A Day at Wangmo’s School. The memoir in a way illustrates how a probable ‘Green School’ looks like by describing series of happenings at the school that captures all the domains/greeneries.
This work comes from one of the country’s finest thinkers and writers. ‘My Green School- an Outline’ is a gift to all the educators and teachers around the world. This little book has travelled beyond Bhutan to the most developed nations, people have embraced the ideas but little has been done in the country where the manifesto originated…
