Heart Wish for Bhutan !!

Himalaya Mountain ~~~~~

I shall follow his foot steps of Guru Rinpoche, to be unite with the essence of our nature, all the love and wisdom , that shall permeate the entire universe and in eternal time !! 

I brought this Beautiful Painting back and it will certainly accompany and guide me in my solitude and confusion !! 

5 days Steep Trek up to the 4200 m mountain , Dagala Thousand Lake Trek, breathtaking view, ... of course I did not go !

My Bhutanese Tour Guide , Sonam Wangyel

Many thanks to Sonam Wangyel , my tour guide during the trip , who has a modern intellect and a Bhutanese soul, tried to answer hundred questions from my curiosity , and help me understand this beautiful , civilized in its own way, but underdeveloped country,  while  I almost fell down during the  difficult down hill from Tiger's Nest, and always gave him headache by not dressing or behaving traditionally conservative ... ! :)

In fact, I wish the chaotic competition and , materialism form the outside world , will not destruct Bhutan's purity ...!!
Although they do benefit much from tourism, their notion of an ideal  life should not be account for its wealth, but its aesthetics, moral, devotion, their love for nature and order, and above all, of course, the Happiness !!!! 

Climb to the Holiest and highest destination in the world ~~~

Taksang meaning tigers nest !!

Hi😘
My pony lead the way , and I was nervous ~~

In fact , he did half fall during climbing ...

這天清晨六點半中出發，認真努力的爬上「虎穴寺」, 我的夢想之一，
海拔2980 公尺，上下山加參拜5 個小時，山路崎嶇 ～～

其中一小時上山騎小馬，還有驚險的時候，我的 Pony 中途跌了一跤，小小驚嚇⋯⋯
感恩蓮師的加持力，感恩我的 Guide 及馬伕，一路扶持與鼓勵！

Climbing to the “ Tigers Nest “ , was always my dream,  where Guru Rinpoche stayed for 4 months in meditation with Yoeshetsoyel and attend enlightenment  !! 

This was my first Mountain Hike ever , which took me 5 hours going up and down the mountain , with 2980m altitude ! 

I would say quite difficult for a novice ....😅

Legendary story of her Mala transformed into Water fall of Yoeshetsogyal

Reaching to the "  Second View Point "  : After 2 and half hours climbing ...

Writings Inside the cave ~~~~ — at Tiger's Nest - Taktshang, Bhutan.

Second View Point : Awe

蓮花生大士, 被視為第二佛。他是阿彌陀佛的意化現，觀世音菩薩的語化現，以及釋迦牟尼佛的身化現。蓮花生大士乃金剛乘的大師，這個在藏地盛行的法教，至今已孕育出眾多偉大的修行者和大成就者。
　　蓮花源上師依照不同眾生認知實相的不同方式， 而示現相異的形象。他的加持至今仍在，正如往昔他的時代，也將延續直到未來。時間這個概念，並不適用於他的加持。以那些對他具有信心和虔誠的人來說，他的加持永遠都在，從不改變也不減損。

How to be the Happiest ?!! Exploring the dragon Kingdom !!!

Breathtaking view in my room at Amankora over looking the mountains in Paro !!

Hi !!!!! King of Bhutan ~~  at Thimphu , the capital !!! 

不丹，曾經是世界上最快樂的國家，如今是亞洲第一 ，世界第八。人口只有70 多萬，
土地面積卻和台灣本島相當！

快樂，是因為他們的知足感恩！
樸實，純真，可愛！ 

To  preserv its own culture heritage, including language, architechure, attire, culinary style, is the main key of keeping its ranking at the top National Happiness Index , said our guide,  Sonam ! 

但是，不知每年増加的觀光客湧入，除了帶來不丹的經濟發展，投資生產總值，是否還有帶來其他國家的世俗的慾念，貪婪，與自我意識的抬頭～～～

People in Paro and the Capital Thimphu appear to be quite different , as my first impression !

We transferred to the Capital ， Thimphu, with Population of 100,000 !

Traditional Bhutanese set course, Very Spicy Spicy !!!

The Highest point of the Fortress, used to be a watch tower !!! 

This is at the Fortress, where The King , Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck , Prime Minister and all the administrative officers work here until 17:00 ~~~ 😊

Light House at Paro, Bhutan !!!

I have lighten up  108 Butter Lamps praying for all the path we take shall be lighten up with awareness and love !!! 

One of the most Poetic destination in China part 1 ~~

最憶是杭州！！！！Hangzhou , China

Four Seasons Hotel , Westlake , At my Balcony ~~ 

I love Westlake so much alike many classic Chinese poets who adored and composed hundreds of poems about her .....

水光瀲灩晴方好，
山色空濛雨亦奇。
欲把西湖比西子，
淡妝濃抹總相宜。💞

Beautiful Sunset at the Westlake ! 

At my Backyard ~~~~

Where A Legendary Love Story took place ~~
白蛇傳戀愛故事。。。。。

Photoshoot with Tom Cruise !

Hi , There !!

This is the happiest moment today !!!

I was not expecting to meet Tom with suit this afternoon, as you can tell from my casual outfit !! ;)

Handsome and Big Smile do count !!!!!

An Elegant Cultural Tasting !!!!

星期天走進了一個歷史建築的空間中~~~

似乎在紛嚷的市區，呼吸著與世隔絕的空氣，不僅打造了小巧日本庭園造景，更有法式自然的美食相伴 !

🍎這個文化創意空間，向市政府承租錦町舊官舍，負責維修與營運，一處心靈休憩的據點。

📚📚📚策展人 胡朝聖 擔任藝術總監、「比格達建築世界」主持人 王增榮 擔任建築顧問，融合建築與藝術，並與擅長日式空間設計的「玳爾設計」 朱志峰 總監, 將此地打造成「快樂的沃土」。

Ps. Everything is perfect ~~ The only thing I would prefer  and wish for some improvements was those tables ! They can be more classy with high qualities instead of an unfitting materials , that diminish the wholesome experience !! 😉😉

▲從老房子拆下來的舊木料，透過旅法藝術家 邱承宏。的創作，化為一隻雄鹿造型的作品「歷史之角」，象徵著樂埔町的再造與新生，輕靈的姿態彷彿從森林中漫步而出，與城市中的我們偶然相遇。 — at樂埔町 Leputing.

如同文章有起、承、轉、合的層次，建築也是如此。迂迴的動線創造了一種觀察的指向，在每一次的轉角堆疊更豐富的視覺感受。例如從玄關到座位區的路途中所經過的一段廊道，運用過去房間收納用壁櫃的深度，改造成展示平台的小藝廊。樂埔町的主軸是將食、藝、景三者結合，從最日常的食衣住行融合生活美學，所以在打造景觀與提供美食之外，更邀請國內知名色彩學者與植物染藝術家 曾啟雄 教授，將作品陳列於小藝廊中展出，更不定期推出創作課程。 — at 樂埔町 Leputing.
