May 24: His Holiness the Je Khenpo and the monks of the Central Monastic Body will be arriving in the Tashichhodzong, their summer residence tomorrow. They left the Puna-Dewa-Chenpoi-Phodrang this morning. They will be making a night halt in the Simtokha dzong tonight in keeping with the tradition.
En route to Thimphu this morning, His Holiness the Je Khenpo and the monks of the Central Monastic Body visited the Druk Wangyel Lhakhang in Dochula and performed prayers.
As the monk body proceeded to Thimphu, hundreds of people waited at different places all along way from Hongtsho and Yusipang to the Simtokha Dzong to offer their prayers and receive blessings.
On the way to the Simtokha Dzong, His Holiness the Je Khenpo gave blessings to the people and students of the Institute of Language and Cultural studies. Devotees believe that the blessings from His Holiness and the monk body will ward off ill luck.
From the gate to the Simtokha Dzong, His Holiness the Je Khenpo was ushered in to the Dzong in elaborate chipdrel ceremony.
People also received blessings from the scared relics accompanying the monk body.
His Holiness and the monk body will spend the night at Simtokha Dzong and proceed to the Tashichhodzong tomorrow.
The tradition of maintaining a summer and winter residence was introduced by Zhabdrung Ngawang Namgyel, the founding father of Bhutan in the early 17th century.
