Drukpa Kunley's Teaching Son

I paid my annual visit and homage to Lama Drukpa Kuenley (), popularly known as the Divine Madman, at the temple Chimi Lhakhang in Punakha district. It was built in the 16th Century by his cousin, Ngawang Chogyel ().
In this article, let me share Drukpa Kuenley&#;s profound teachings hidden under his outrageous behaviours and antics.
What was apparent &#; the Outer Drukpa Kuenley
Drukpa Kuenley is Bhutan’s favourite yogi. His exploits are legendary, a rather unconventional character who renounced monkhood for a carefree and fun lifestyle. Although Drukpa Kuenley’s methods were considered blasphemous, eccentric, and crude, there was more than what just met our eyes.
He pulled pranks on every lama he came across. His favourite target was his cousin, Lam Ngawang Chogyel, who was a great Buddhist master-reincarnate in his own right. The religious institutions feared him, women loved him, and children adored him. He peed on someone’s thangka (religious painting). The story goes that his urine later turned into gold droplets. He farted in the holiest Lhasa Jokhang where a large sermon was going on. The children laughed, and the elders frowned. The monks were furiou
A new book brings stories of Drukpa Kunley (), or the beloved ‘divine madman’ of Bhutan
The marketplace of Lhasa pulsated with the vibrant energy of merchants, pilgrims, nomads, monks and musicians. Situated against the majestic backdrop of the Himalaya, it was a cultural melting pot drawing people from across the Himalayan region.
Stalls and vendors lined the narrow streets, their colourful wares – exotic spices, textiles, jewellery and precious metals – spilling onto the cobblestone pathways. Tibetan nomads in traditional attire haggled over goods and livestock alongside merchants clad in silk robes.
Amid the hustle, monks and pilgrims from distant lands mingled with traders and travellers, sharing stories and spreading news and gossip.
Suddenly, Drukpa Kunley burst into the marketplace, panting, with beads of sweat dotting his brow. The usually calm and carefree figure appeared flustered and distressed. A merchant took notice and inquired, “Drukpa Nyonpa, what is it that is chasing you or you are chasing after? You are not your usual self today.”
Drukpa Kunley stopped abruptly and said, “I’ve lost my doechag (desire or attachment) and have failed to get it back.”
