In the tranquil valleys of the Himalayas, Bhutan is radiating peace and happiness through the Global Peace Prayer Festival being held in Thimphu from November 4th to 19th. This spiritual congregation brings together over 150 Buddhist masters and peace advocates from 20 nations to spread the message of compassion and harmony. A deeply meaningful moment came when India — the land of Buddha’s enlightenment — sent Lord Buddha’s sacred relics for public veneration. Arriving at Paro with full state honors, the relics now rest at Tashichho Dzong, where thousands of devotees pray for peace, not prosperity. The festival also marks the 70th birthday of Bhutan’s Fourth King, Jigme Singye Wangchuck, the architect of Bhutan’s happiness-based philosophy. While most nations chase GDP, Bhutan measures its success through Gross National Happiness — proving that true development lies where people live in peace with purpose. #BhutanPeaceFestival #Bhutan2025 #bhutanculture #PeaceFestival #bhutantravel #mindfulness #buddhistfestival #HappinessKingdom #BhutanVibes #PeaceInBhutan #BhutanSpirit #bhutantourism #HimalayanPeace #wellnessretreat #ThimphuFestival #MeditationBhut #vlog
