Festival in Bumthang at the temple.

The cutest little kid dressed in his gho at the festival.

This temple is very holy. I can't remember all the background, but the holiest water in Bhutan is found here. Here I am coming out of a rock tunnel cleansed of all my sins. You enter one side and if you come out the other you are cleared of all your sins. If you get stuck in between then there is some demon in you.

Dad getting cleansed of his sins. Karma is big here and so is earning merits. You hope that you get enough merits to get yourself to heaven. You get merits for doing things such as walking around the chortens, turning prayer wheels, and watching festivals. You get double merits if you do these on an auspicious day, but you also get double sin if you sin on an auspicious day.
