Plea to the Government to Display Sacred Relics at Phuentsholing

People of Bhutan are highly indebted to the government for bringing in the 50 sacred relics from India. It’s a lifetime opportunity for the devotees to see such rare and sacred relics. I am sure people are eagerly waiting for the events and blessings. It’s generous on the part of coordinators to display the relics not only in Thimphu but also other places in Bhutan.

For the western sector, the display will be only at Thimphu. This means, people of Samtse, one of the most populated Dzongkhag and Phuentsholing, the second largest populous town in Bhutan have to travel to Thimphu. With this arrangement, most people will not be able to avail the opportunity because of the time and money factors. Only few could make the trip to Thimphu and majority will not be benefited.       

Phuentsholing has the population of about 30,000 and it’ll be of great help to these people if the sacred relics are displayed here at Phuentsholing. By majority rule and if the intent of the coordinators is to reach majority of population, Phuentsholing definitely deserves the opportunity to have the relics displayed here. Besides, it'll be a huge blessings for the town as a whole.    

Phuentsholing was deprived of such similar opportunity in the past. This time too, there’s no plan to display the relics here. As it's known, during any religious functions, it used to attract huge devotees.

Therefore, for the greater benefit of majority of people, I on behalf of residents of Phuentsholing earnestly request the concerned authorities to kindly arrange to display the relics here at Phuentsholing. It’ll be also of great help to the people of Samtse as they don’t have to travel to Thimphu for the blessings. My plea to the concerned authorities, please!
