April 27: Under the patronage of Her Majesty the Royal Grandmother Ashi Kesang Choden Wangchuck, a new monastic school will be established in Chapcha Dokhakay Goenpa.
The expenses for the new monastic school are being borne entirely by Her Majesty.
Come this June, the Chapcha Dokhakay Goenpa will be the seed of learning for 30 monks. Yesterday, Her Majesty the Royal Grandmother Ashi Kesang Choden Wangchuck awarded Tashi Khadhar to 13 monks who have enrolled for studies at the monastic school. Most of the 13 novice monks are students of schools in Chapcha.
As part of yesterday’s initiation ceremony, the Venerable Yangbi Lopen Chimi conducted Zhudrey Phuensum Tshogpa.
Her Majesty the Royal Grandmother also interacted with the novice monks and their parents. Her Majesty the Royal Grandmother was accompanied by Her Royal Highness Ashi Pema Lhaden Wangchuck.
All the expenses of the monastic school of Chapcha Dokhakay Goenpa will be born by Her Majesty the Royal Grandmother. While the Goenpa has a Lam appointed by the Zhung Dratshang, it will soon get a teacher for the new monastic school from the Zhung Dratshang.
The Chapcha Dokhakay Goenpa was constructed in the 8th century by Chozin Thinley. The Lhakhang was extended by Ap Changlo- an elderly resident of Chapcha.
