oct 12, 2011 - Dipankara arrives in Thimphu

Description:

After 8 days of trekking with little rest, Dipankara reaches Thimphu. He meditates and fasts in the Tashichho Dzong Temple for 82 days, never uttering a word and only taking water for nourishment. Though he was quiet, the locals had started hearing about the wanderer on social media. Like in Nepal, the people wonder at the Dipankara, and by the end of his meditation approximately 1,000 people were meditating and fasting alongside. Again, like before the Local and Federal officials arrive to talk to the aesthetic wanderer.
