God of education in Buddhism

Image
  Buddhism is generally considered a non-theistic religion, meaning that it does not revolve around the worship of a singular supreme deity or gods in the way that some other religions do.

One such figure is  Maitreya , who is often regarded as the future Buddha. Maitreya is believed to be currently residing in the Tushita Heaven and will eventually descend to Earth to become the next Buddha. His role is associated with compassion, love, and the promise of a better future. While not specifically considered a “god,” Maitreya holds a significant...

Bhutan Currency

Image
The  ngultrum (Nu.)  is the official currency of the Kingdom of Bhutan. Its name can be literally translated as ‘silver’ for “ngul” and ‘coin’ for “trum.” Here are some key details about the Bhutanese ngultrum: Subdivisions: The ngultrum is subdivided into   100 chhertum   (Dzongkha: ཕྱེད་ཏམ), which were spelled as “chetrums” on coins until 1979.

Food in Bhutan

Image
  'Datshi' in the Bhutanese language of Dzongkha means 'cheese', which is what they use in a number of dishes, the most popular being Ema Datshi which is like a stew made from chilies and cheese ('Ema' means chilies) and might prove to be too spicy for some. Bhutan's national dish is unarguably the country's most popular dish, and any discussion about Bhutanese food cannot go without the mention of Ema Datshi. The chilies are split lengthwise with their seeds and ribs removed and are mixed with cheese, garlic, water, and some oil. Is this a special kind of farmer's cheese that doesn't dissolve in water and is hardly found outside this nation? Onions and tomatoes are also added sometimes. Yak cheese might also be used. There might be small variations in the preparation of Ema Datshi throughout the nation (such as the consistency of liquid), but the ultimate essence remains. Other variations of this dish is worth trying. 2. Shakam Datshi source Sha...
