No, it is no cheap porn graffitti! It is a housewall decoration you can find everywhere in Bhutan - it is part of the religious belief! A Bhutanese explained it to me like this (if I got him right - I have to read some about it):One scholar of Buddha went into a little different direction, emphasizing that through sex you find the enlightment! So he slept with many women to free their souls..... Sounds easier than meditation, doesnt it :-) Ok, no jokes about that. That is what Ive been told. I have to check on that.
In mountains, people build this kind of constructions to host a praying wheel. When the creek comes down through it, it naturally brings the wheel turning, in a clockwise way...And the lection is carried away...
If you come to goverment office, should be surprise of thier strick rules on the board.You must wear formal dress when you visit to the office! You can't visit absolutry in sandle! then you should wear traditional choth 'KILA' for woman, 'Gou' for man usually in Bhutan. People said this is very hot in summer, even in fall, but can't brake the rule.(!?)
The bhutanese are quite religious people so try to learn little about how to behave in their country. This in order to avoid insulting the people and their religion. People often had some special rooms in their houses were they used to pray. It was decorated with buddha statues etc. THE PHOTO: THE MEMORIAL CHORTEN IN THIMPHU, A PLACE WERE LOTS OF PEOPLE COME TO WORSHIP EVERY DAY.
Prayer Flags inscribed with Buddhist scripture flutter til they rot. But don't let them touch the ground- they should rather be burned.Buddhists plant these flags outside their homes and places of spiritual practice for the wind to carry the beneficient vibrations across the countryside.
It is a local custom to but beef to dry hanging on a line outside the house. Later I ate dryed meat and found very tasty.
Notice those structures made to burn incense in every house or monument.
It is mandatory,but only for bhutanese, to wear their national clothes to enter the temples and dzongs. It is a very elegant outfit.
It is a national custom to chew betelee leave with a pice of betelee nut and some spices. They do it all day long. I tried some ... different:)
