Today, the closing programme was graced by His Eminence Leytshog Lopen Sangay Dorji and Zimpon Wom Sonam Thinley, DSP Steering Committee member.

27 De-suups received their certificates of completion.

Sonam Deki said that this programme really boosted her confidence in understanding that she is in control of her life, and she has the ability to change any circumstances she is faced with. Through meditation, she learned with her Nyamros the control of ones’ thoughts and actions.

Sonam Dorji said that he learned the importance and significance of prayers only after joining this DSP. Furthermore, he also learned the importance of practicing kindness and compassion in his daily life.

Khenpo Karma Thinley said that this programme was designed to ensure that the De-suup trainees understood the historical and cultural importance of Buddhism in Bhutan, but also focused on imparting hands on training for De-suups to practice prayers, meditation and visit sacred sites to ensure a holistic experience for every De-suup through this month long training.

DSP Introduction to Buddhism 3.0 will begin on August 2nd, Haa Dzongkhag.
