In Bhutan, Guru Rimpoche has visited the sacred
places and subdued the evil spirits in the country. In Bhutan, Pema Lingpa was
born to discover the treasures of Peling linage. In Bhutan, Dorji Lingpa was born
to discover the treasures of Dorling linage. In Bhutan, Zhabdrung Ngawang
Namgyal has visited to establish the religious and secular system (Choe Sid
Zungdrel Ge lug) in the country. In Bhutan, first king to third king were born
to rule for peace and prosperity in the country.
Above all, His Majesty the Fourth Druk Gyalpo,
Jigme Singye Wangchuck was born on 11th November 1955, by the good
fortune of all humble citizens in the country. He is our father. He is our guidance.
He is our model piece. He is our hero. He is everything to the people of
Bhutan. I am writing this short essay to pay my deepest respects
on this occasion of the birth anniversary of our beloved fourth Druk Gyalpo, His
Majesty Jigme Singye Wangchuck.
This joyous day is not only to
celebrate His Majesty’s birth day but we should remember His Majesty’s memorable
gifts that he has given to this country. On 2nd June 1974, His
Majesty was crowned as the youngest monarch in the world at eighteen years of
age. During the coronation address to the public His Majesty emphasized on the
philosophy of Gross National Happiness and this concept has become the guiding
principle for the development of our country.
During his 34 years of reign, His
Majesty has built a strong nation through process of democratization and
enlightened visions of Gross national happiness. His Majesty has laid down the
strong foundations for the democracy in Bhutan since establishment of Dzongkhag
Yargay Tshokdu in 1981, and Gewog Tshokdu in 1991. His Majesty is the father of
Constitution of Bhutan. It is like an endless space and deepest ocean to
compare His Majesty’s selfless and extraordinary leadership in this country. Therefore,
I would like to conclude my essay here with my deepest respect and prayers for
His Majesty’s well being and happiness forever.
