Young monks provide visitors with juice at Jambay Lhakhang in Bumthang
Young Bhutanese monks distribute juice to devotees, who visit Jambay Lhakhang in Bumthang, Bhutan.
Jambay Lhakhang is said to be one of the 108 temples built by the Tibetan King Songtsen Goenpo in 659 AD on a single day to pin down an ogress to earth forever. A supine demoness was causing obstruction to the spread of Buddhism, and the temples were constructed on her body parts that spread across Tibet, Bhutan and the borderlands.
The best known of these temples are Kichu in Paro, Jambay Lhakhang in Bumthang and Jokhang in Lhasa, Tibet. Other lesser known temples in Bhutan have been destroyed. The temple of Jambay Lhakhang was later visited by Guru Rinpoche and later restored by Sendhu Raja after Guru restored his life force. Jambay Lhakhang has been repaired and rebuilt several times over time. During the 8th century, Sendhu Raja who was the king of Bumthang fell ill, and he invited Guru Rinpoche who brought Buddhism to Bhutan to cure him. Guru Rinpoche found out that the King’s illness was caused by the local deities including the powerful Shelging Karpo.
Finding the cause of the illness, Guru chased the deities into a cave, and Guru meditated inside the cave for three months. Guru then subdued the deities including the powerful Shelging Karpo and left his body imprint inside the cave, thus giving the name Kurjey (Body Imprint). Beside the Monastery is a tall cypress tree that is believed to have sprouted from the walking stick of Guru Rinpoche.

이 붐탕계곡은 부탄에서 최초로 불교가 전래된 곳으로 오래된 사찰이 밀집돼있다. 이곳은 황금사원이라 일컬어진다. 최초로 불교가 전래된 곳으로 지붕이 황금으로 되어있기 때문이다. 여기서 파드마 삼바바는 8가지 모습으로 나타나 악령들을 굴복시킨다. 마치 사원 안에서는 버터램프를 닦고 있었다. 몇 백 년 내려오는 거의 보물급 유물이다. 이런 촬영기회를 놓칠 수가 없다. 부탄의 사찰 내부는 화재예방과 도난을 방지하기 위해 촬영이 금지돼 있다. 사실 사원구경은 내부보다 외부가 더 재미있을 경우가 많다. 아니나 다를까 사원외부의 탑에는 탑돌이 하는 순례자의 무리가 발을 쉬고 있었다. 방언이 많은 부탄의 종카어는 현지인이라도 알아들을 수 없는 경우가 부지기수다. 그래도 이야기는 통한다. 염주는 돌린 만큼 숫자를 표시하기 위해 끈에 구슬을 매달아 놓았다. 제일 왼쪽이 밴만 번 돌리면 한 개 올라간다. 순례하는 할머니는 나를 보고 멀리서 왔으니 노래를 불러 주겠다고 한다. 이 노래는 밀레르파라는 고승이 지은 노래이다. 15세기부터 내려오는 민요이다. 현재 불리어 지는 밀타작하는 노래나 집을 지을 때 부르는 노래가 그가 지은 노래이다. 노래선물에 답례 하려니 기어코 받지 않는다. 그래서 근처 가게에가 간단한 간식거리를 드리니 좋아라하신다. 무엇이라도 나눠주려는 좋은 사람들이다. 어디의 아이들이 귀엽지 않겠는가 하지만 부탄의 아이들은 정말 구김 없고 맑고 밝다. 한국의 몇 십 년 전으로 훌쩍 여행하는 기분이다.

Bumthang District (Dzongkha: བུམ་ཐང་རྫོང་ཁག་; Wylie: Bum-thang rzong-khag) is one of the 20 dzongkhag (districts) comprising Bhutan. It is the most historic dzongkhag if the number of ancient temples and sacred sites is counted. Bumthang consists of the four mountain valleys of Ura, Chumey, Tang and Choekhor (Bumthang), although occasionally the entire district is referred to as Bumthang valley.
Bumthang directly translates as beautiful field -- thang means field or flat place, and bum is said be an abbreviation of either bumpa (a vessel for holy water, thus describing the shape and nature of the valley), or simply bum (girl, indicating this is the valley of beautiful girls).
Bumthang name came after construction of Jambay Lhakhang, which was constructed in landscape of Bumpa (Vessel)shape. So there after people name the place as Bumthang

Bhutan, officially the Kingdom of Bhutan, is a landlocked state in South Asia, located at the eastern end of the Himalayas and bordered to the south, east and west by the Republic of India and to the north by the People's Republic of China. Bhutan is separated from the nearby country of Nepal to the west by the Indian state of Sikkim, and from Bangladesh to the south by the Indian states of Assam and West Bengal.
Bhutan existed as a patchwork of minor warring fiefdoms until the early 17th century, when the area was unified by Shabdrung Ngawang Namgyal, who fled religious persecution in Tibet and cultivated a separate Bhutanese identity. In the early 20th century, Bhutan came into contact with the British Empire, after which Bhutan continued strong bilateral relations with India upon its independence. In 2006, Business Week rated Bhutan the happiest country in Asia and the eighth-happiest in the world, based on a global survey.
