EVM

Most developed countries are in disfavour of the electronic voting machines(EVM). We are making full use of it albeit suppressed disgruntlement in many instances. As a voter i ask myself; how safe is our EVM? Can it be rigged? Is the storage reliable? Is it foolproof? There are more questions than answers. Although ECB is doing a great job in voter education, there are more confused voters like me afraid of the machine which might at some time malfunction and give different result in the end. It's good to embrace advancement through technology but shouldn't we weigh pros and cons? If the EVM stopped working in between its replaced instantly during voting day. The votes cast is believed to be stored in the EVM which stopped working inbetween; the question disturbing voters is- if the EVM can stop working, isn't there chances of votes cast giving different counts?

In the last NC elections I opted for voting through facilitation booth. I am satisfied and assured that my vote really did went to the candidate I chose, there is no concern for error. The election officers there literally fills our form, and all we need to do is choose our candidate and seal it in an envelope- done. It's more work for ECB, but for a young democracy like ours, trust should be our priority. There was a wild rumours in my village during the last LG elections; 'EVM will read the voters thumbprint, candidates will know who voted for them and who didn't'. There isn't an ounce of truth in it, it was just a rumour, but then rumours spread faster than truth and knowing our villagers, they have the tendency to believe easily. Voters' trust for free and fair elections is the must. If fears, although unsubstantiated, runs through their veins then ours will always remain a 'young democracy' even after 20 years down the line.

In a few months time we will head for poll to choose our government. No doubt ECB will educate the voters like always, they might also replace the old EVMs which has served more than twice it's life span, but how far voters like me will trust the EVM will remain an unanswered question. I am hoping against hope that EVMs will not come to haunt us after the poll day. I am not qualified to suggest an option, I can only choose one for myself,and that will be facilitation booth or postal ballot if ECB gives the opportunity again. For me it's easier, reliable and satisfactory at its best. Because I am opting for this, I am not discouraging voters from voting via EVM. who knows, EVM might be reliable and I am wrong all along, but as a voter I am sharing my concern without any suggestions, which I am leaving for the experts to come up and put in place for free and fair elections not only in words but in reality too.

Om ma ni pad mi hung,
Om a hung ba zar guru pad ma sí dhi hung.
Om nang si nam da ......
Ma nam kha dang, .......

We recite all those prayers. We go to sacred Buddhist place and circumambulate the Buddhist stupas and recite guru rinpoche mantra and chenrizig mantra. We say, all animals are our parent in the past.

However, the scenario is different during the meal time. And we say, I need proteins to stay healthy. I am tried of circumambulating the chorten. Where does proteins come from? Only animals flesh? We are hypocrites Buddhist. Speaking one thing from month and doing another things. If we are going to die for not taking animals flesh, yes we should take it. However, at the cost of other life, eating to stay longer is still not justified. I am sure, we will never die for not taking someone soul who has a same desire like us to live long and happy.

It is not about religion point of view to respect animals as our friends but respect from the right of the animals. They have a every right to stay happy. They are not our food but our friends.

Don’t be hypocrites Buddhist. If you are true Buddhist, go vegetarian 🌱 , go vegan 🌱.
If you can’t go , then you are pretending and hypocrites Buddhist.
It is funny, there are some people who say they have good mind and thinking. So, even eating animals flesh is ok, if we have good thought. That is another justification to eat animals flesh. How can we expect someone a good thought who never have sympathy to living animals, who eat animals with no mercy. Having good thought and eating animals flesh is contradictory for me.

It is none of my business whether you eat animals flesh and have good thought but I am representing voiceless animals. They have a right like us.
Think once before you eat animals flesh. Keep the animal flesh in front of you and think what is it? Is it really a meat? Or it is your past parent meat? If you are genuine follower of Buddha, I think you will give up the animals flesh. Because animals flesh is not meat but someone soul who has equal desire like you to live happy.

And another rediculous thing is, on top of eating someone flesh, people are uploading photos. Indeed they are encouraging other people to eat. It is more than enough for eating animals flesh. Why do we have to upload and advertise animals flesh? Eat silently. Don’t advertise or encourage other.

Go vegan 🌱

Share if you think you respect animals.

Random

“The time will never change but people will” , from the text of the KathangDuepa. Yes, definitely.

A close friend of today will become stranger tomorrow. A stranger become close friend tomorrow. That is the way of transient period of the life.

In Buddhist context, we usually say, life is meaningless. Everything we gathered will be exhausted. However, due to ignorance and desire, we are pursuing the happiness, the illusion happiness. We even forget the value of respect. We only think about ourselves. Our deed shouldn’t harm any sentient being including animals. You are wrong if you ignore animals and think it as your meals. If so, You are the cruel creature on this earth. Your deed shouldn’t never harm other. That is the religion of this planet.

The world religion is peace.

Thought from the flying cloud

Fart Story

***************************************************************************
**************************Fart Story***************************************
***************************************************************************
A mother with 3-year-old daughter went to gathering in the village. she was having uncomfortable and having a stomach ache due to uncooked food. She has no other means to fart by keeping her daughter on her lap. She farted loudly and said paa... waktsa, phe tey , waktsa gi ma tun ma fu na, (this child is farting like a man). The daughter said I didn't. She was embarrassed in front of many people.

When they reached home, mother told the daughter you should accept that you farted in the gathering.

There was the same gathering next day. As soon they reached the spot, cute daughter go in front of the gathering and said, I want to tell you about yesterday fart, it was not my mom but me who farted.

Moral of the story: Child learn what we teach, so teach a child how to speak the truth.

From the thought of flying cloud.

Central school?

What are the advantages of central school? I see more disadvantages than advantages.
I strongly disagree, the need of the central school. The central school can be established but not like how it is running as of now.
It was in the 1990s, where poor parents could afford the necessary stuff for the children who are going to the school. Now, Bhutan is developing and living standard as per BLSS report has improved compared to 90s. Parents can afford better than the 90s for the school going children. I am one of them who came from remote and could afford my expenses.
The expenditure like providing dress, mattress and other necessary things where central school spend could otherwise spend for other useful things. That huge amount could invest in quality education by establishing more libraries and laboratories with adequate equipment.
This idea of central school is indeed neglecting other communities school. Children who are at a tender age (5, 6, 7 ...10) will face a problem staying away from parents. That is the reason why our king provides school near our communities. Now, the community school is vanishing and the love and care the children need at a tender age from the parent are vanishing.
Do you still think Central school is a good idea? Yes, one who benefits might think it is a good idea. If we think carefully, the central school can never sustain in the long run because the idea itself is not a good one. Who will provide all those amounts for the central school?

That is my take on in central school.

A laptop to the teacher

I want to hear your opinion regarding the laptop to the teacher.
Our teachers deserve more than the laptop. We cannot please our grateful teacher by providing a laptop. If I am a teacher, I can’t digest what Ministry of education is doing. Why are they providing laptop only when the election is approaching? They should have done before 4 years.
Our teachers are gems of the country. Our teacher knows better than anyone. I don’t think providing laptop is political mileage. The ministry of education is providing with good intention. However, what if our government prioritize what is required. We are reading national news, where communities and primary school need a renovation. School children are struggling without proper shelter and toilet. Our government has to provide a basic need to all the school rather than wasting huge resources by providing laptops. I am not saying providing laptop is not a good idea. It is a good idea because our teacher can use for academics purpose but the time is not favorable. What we need at this time is to provide community and primary school the basic infrastructure.

I have immense respect for my guru, teachers. They are role model for me. My opinion is nothing to do with my respect for the teachers. My opinion is against Ministry of education.
