I think Bhutan sounds an amazing place to visit. A balm for the soul. In this world of rush, rush and busy, busy, a week or two of peace sounds amazing.
I love the idea of Buddhism but I’m afraid I could never live up to its ideals and philosophy.
In simplistic terms, to say one lived a Buddhist way of life, one would never harm a living creature. I have a friend who has dedicated her life to the Buddhist way of thinking and she won’t even kill a mouse, rat, fly or ant. But I’m afraid the idea of a rat being in my house and just letting it live its best life is simply too much for me.
I’ve never heard my friend say one bad thing about anyone either. When her husband left her for another woman she was obviously hurt and confused but the way she handled herself, refusing to stoop to his level and call him names, was inspiring. Although she calmly went about ensuring he didn’t get away with her share of their assets. Just like a calm assassin!
Bhutan is supposed to be a place of happiness, although I’m sure everyone has their share of troubles, even there.
Visitors to the Kingdom are kept to a minimum, ensuring their way of life isn’t too disrupted which happens to almost all other tourist-driven countries and destinations.
There must be something special about being so near to Heaven which gives that feeling of being special. I hope it remains that way forever.
