As it was the 'Thanks Giving' holiday else
where around the globe, Sumthrang Monastery would like to take the opportunity
of the day to Thank Mangduechu Hydroelectric Project Authority (MHPA) and the
Code of Culture (CoC) for granting few thousands that would make a great
difference on the cultural preservation of Sumthrang. Had it not been your
generous though small financial support, the world as a whole is at the edge of
losing the over eight century old tradition and cultures that included most
unique and sacred dances lived with Sumthrang. World would have suffered a loss
of a culture, if this revival could have began. The cham dances of
Sumthrang would not be any where on earth since the dances are by origin the
dances of Sumthrang and not adopted from other dances. Some of the dances even
predate the dances of Pemalingpa origin.
