SEEDS OF HAPPINESSA TRAINING PROGRAM IN BHUTAN
A Farmer’s Happy Story
Much to the dismay of the officials of the
Ministry of Agriculture, Singye, a Bhuta-
nese farmer who won the award for the
highest production of paddy in the ‘dou- ble cropping competit ion’ did not part ici-
pate the following year. The award and
the excess yield had not inspired Singye.
“I realize that I am happier with produc-
ing just enough to sustain my family. Life
is simpler without the excess yields. I had
to worry about space and storage as both
rodents and neighbors wanted a share of
my harvest.” What lessons can we draw
from Singye’s story?
Challenge of our times
We are living in an age of paradox where we have “more medicines but less healthiness,
steep profits but shallow relationships.” Seeds of Happiness creates a rare experience of
time and space for you to contemplate and reflect so that you gain new insights and mean-
ings and attain a more balanced and a harmonious way of living your life. The contemplative
exercise and meditation penetrate deeper into understanding the self and help finding an
answer to the question, “what is my next step in life?”
Why Bhutan?
Today, when the world seems engulfed
in waves of devastating materialism and
spiritual discontent, Bhutan has become
a gateway and a place of sanctuary for
individuals seeking to find an answer
to this modern malaise. Nestled at the
foothills of the Himalayas, with its for-
tresses, monasteries and stupas perched
on the hillocks and the prayer flags flut-
tering against the wind, the Kingdom of
Bhutan appears still wrapped in mys-
tery, magic and mysticism from ancient
times. Seeds of Happiness simply har-
nesses these serene mystical settings to
recreate an experience – exotic and
extraordinary for you to re-discover
yourself.
