All of us recently visited Bhutan. Bhutan was an amazing once in a lifetime experience. We got to do so many cool things, we got to see the biggest Buddha in the world, we got to go to a school that people our age practice sewing, carving dragons out if pine wood, clay making, black smithing, and sculpting. These kids go to school everyday just like us but they learn how to do all these things that bhuddist people use in there everyday life. We also got to see women weave the traditional dresses women wear in bhutan and wedding dresses that people order special for there wedding up to 6 months in advance because they take so long to make. I asked our tour guide what he thought were the main take always from Bhuddisim, he said that it was about being kind, to have good intentions, to be good to all living things, it is not a religion it is a philosophy, and that it is something you do everyday. On our last day in Bhutan we took a very long hike up to tigers nest monostary. It was a difficult hike for a lot of people but when we got to the top the view was worth every step. There were 9 temples inside and we got see 8 of them. Some of the monks live there for years at a time. I have learned so many things on this trip so far and we have so much more to learn.
Sounds amazing! Thanks, Zoe!
