About Chime Lhakhang

• Title: About Chime Lhakhang
• Description: Lam Drukpa Kuenley (1455 to 1570) was an enlightened Buddhist master who personified the true essence of Vajrayana tradition that is also known as "Crazy Wisdom". This is the profound wisdom that transcends the mundane culture of religion.
  
  Devotees fondly call Lam Drukpa Kuenley the "Device Madman" because of his non-conventional and "outrageous" style of teaching. He deliberately portrayed the image of a vagabond and wandered around the countryside, indulging in song and dance, alcohol and women, hunting and feasting. In reality, what it meant was that he was beyond the norms and conventions established by human society.
  
  Lam Drukpa Kuenley was social critic who taunted the hypocrisy of the established orders, including the monastic order. Thus the use of his phallus as a "flaming thunderbolt" weapon symbolises the discomfort that society experiences when facing the truth.
  
  Lam Drukpa Kuenley's most outrageous and sacred actions included the taming of a number of demons and dmonesses that were tormenting the Bhutanese people. For example, he subjugated the infamous and much feared demoness of Dochula and buried her on the mound where Chime Lhakhang was built in the late 15th century by his cousin brother, Lam Ngawang Choejey.
  
  Lam Drukpa Kuenley liberated generations after generation of Buddhists from cyclic existence. Buddhists from all over the world come to Chime Lhakhang to pray for the survival and health of their children.
