Daily Edition
Official observances, world days, local context, and everyday celebrations for people who need something worth reading, sharing, or talking about today.
A day for the tiny things people carry because life becomes easier when string, coins, notes, keys, or a tool are close at hand.
Zhabten ceremonies are held throughout Bhutan to pray for the long life of the King, the country, and all sentient beings.

When a Zhabten is performed in a village, every household contributes butter lamps, and the monk reads through the night while the village sleeps and dreams of longevity.
