The importance of your cultural heritage in Bhutan?

Answer 1

Hi my name is Kinley Tshering, I am a Bhutanese student studying abroad. In response to your question about heritage and its importance to Bhutanese. I believe that being such a small country among giants, it is important to preserve our identity. The influences from our large neighbors are evident in everyday life, especially since the introduction of television several years ago. Without a strong cultural heritage bhutanese way of life may very well become an Indian/Chinese way of life. The reason cultural heritage plays such an important role in the lives of the Bhutanese is related to the way we think. Conservation of Nature is directly linked to religion and the belief that animals must not be killed and that the forests and mountains are homes of the Gods. There is also little difference between cultural heritage and history in Bhutan. For instance, the story that Bhuddism arrived in Bhutan by a Monk who flew across the mountains on a tiger. This is not just a story but part of actual history for many Bhutanese. One of the largest wild life preserves in Bhutan is the Sakten wild life preserve, which was created as a habitat for the Migyur, also known as bigfoot. For an outsider this may seem silly. But then again it is this sort of thing that makes Bhutan what it is. Im sorry to cut this short. I hope I answered your question somewhat, however I am restricted by time. Good luck and hope to see you in Bhutan one day ?

Answer 2

I am a student of class 9 . And i think there is lot of importance of cultural heritage in a small country like ours.All of us should work hand in hand to preserve our cultural heritage.We should try to save our identity after all, these cultural heritage are the one which introduces we Nepalese in the outer world. As we all know Nepal is also known as the country of Temple's being the citizens of our country we should try to maintain our identity in the best way possible should not be so self centered , there should be a feeling of nationalism among every Nepalese and we should not depend upon others and the government.Depending upon them is running away from our responsibilities Let's think for a while as we all have families we all have responsibilities too.A man in the house earns for the living.He works day and night to earn bread for his family.And that is not just because he has responsibility towards them but it is because he loves his family.Like that we should love our country after all it has given us so much. So as we love our family let's love our country and let's start realizing our duty towards it.LET'S WAKE UP AND START DOING AT LEAST SOMETHING NO MATTER WHAT IT IS, BE IT SMALL OR BIG.SO THAT AT THE END OF OUR LIFE WE CAN DIE PROUDLY SAYING I DID SOMETHING FOR MY COUNTRY RATHER THAN SAYING I EARNED GOLD AND SILVER DURING MY LIFETIME AND SEE NOW I AM TAKING WITHE ME NOTHING.
