  It is my understanding that this architectural wonder is about 600 years old.  
MatGela2mid.jpg (57559 bytes) I have visited Bhutan as the guest of King Jigme Wangchuk and Gangteng Tulku Rimpoche. 

The impact of the sacred art and architecture on my being was profound. Beautiful and sublime!  Goodness flows out to us all from these Himalayan gems. 

I feel that preservation of these priceless works is imperative as we move into the technological Aquarian epoch. 

The late Yale Richard Wexler, humanitarian and art lover,  and president of the Murshida Corporation, said to me, “Someone has to build temples and monasteries around the world.  Why shouldn’t it be you?”

  These are pictures of the monasteries to be restored
