Bhutan, the Himalayan Nation known for its scenic beauty, now has a batch of monks with a Master of Arts in Buddhist Studies.


His Holiness the Je Khenpo awarded the certificates to 30 monks of the Tango Institute for Advanced Vajrayana Studies today, reports The Bhutan Live.

Her Majesty the Queen Mother Dorji Wangmo Wangchuck, Her Royal Highness Princess Sonam Dechan Wangchuck, Gyalsey Trulku Jigme Tenzin Wangpo and Vairochana Rinpoche Ngawang Jigme Jigten Wangchuck attended the ceremony.

The monks received the certificates at the Tashichhodzong in Thimphu.

They studied at the Tango Institute for Advanced Vajrayana Studies for two years which was established for the first time in Bhutan in 2020. This was for enhancing the growth of the Vajrayana practice in the country, reports the news portal.

Gyalsey Trulku Jigme Tenzin Wangpo, the President of the Tango Institute for Advanced Vajarayana Studies  told The Bhutan Live, ‘‘In the Vajrayana Buddhism, we have a choice to get enlightenment. If we cannot get enlightened from one method, we have other methods to get enlightened. Therefore, this practice has the ability to make its practitioners attain enlightenment in one lifetime. Secondly, it is important to learn Vajrayana tradition to know the way of conducting religious rituals.’’

Je Khenpo launched a book titled ‘The Essence of the Teachings of Accomplished Vidhyadharas' during the event.
