Science Exhibition , 2015

The science exhibition in our school was held on 5^th September. The topic this year for class ten was ‘light based technology’ and for class 9  it was ‘waste to energy’. It was open for classes seven and eight. The budding scientist of our school presented many ingenious ideas as exhibits. We were able to see young Edison’s, Newton’s and Faraday’s among them. The exhibits were creative and eye-catching and some were spectacular!  There were varieties of models that were displayed. To mention a few; a water rocket, bio gas, eco friendly houses, salt water battery, food dyer, hydraulic robot, a motor car and many more  presented. These still models and working model provided a feast to our eyes. The projects were fairly and sensibly judged by the teachers. Thus the exhibitions content were to encourage the students in bringing out their artistic sides and letting them realize the astonishing world of science. So exhibitions are opportunities where ideas will begin to bloom for the progress of the world

Thank you

Annual Concert, 2015

                                                       The Annual School Concert.

The annual concert for the year, 2015 in LZMSS kicked off on the night of 28^th of August, with Her Royal Highness, Ashi Euphelma Choden Wangchuck as our chief guest, who graced us with her presence and for whom we are thankful to, for making time for our school.

From the first day itself, as early as 5:30 pm, the MPH hall started to fill up with excited parents, all joyful and proud, with cameras in their hands to capture the moments of their children in the spotlight. Other family members- sisters, brothers, cousins and friends came too, to show their love and support for the performers! Of course, our own LMSS students were filling up the hall too, to also support the performers, but they came maybe mainly to relieve their stress from all the school work due, and to just relax and enjoy! Heartbeats were synced with the beat of the music, all eyes of the crowd feasted on the unique performances, the mixture of energetic, graceful, educative, humorous performances and the addition of the effects of the fancy lights created a very buzzing and electric atmosphere that spread like wildfire!

Back stage, and outside the hall, even more excited students buzzed around, dressing up and getting ready for their performance. Each one dressed and looked so amazing and beautiful. Delicious refreshments were being served and sold to calm the nerves of the performers and also just to fill the stomachs of the audience.

With the same atmosphere, the concert continued on; the 2^nd day on the 29^th and 3^rd day on the 30^th of August.  The whole three days were a huge success, not only because of the performers but also because of the hard work put in by our teachers, captains and a handful of students. With the combined hard work, all the three days ran smoothly with no obstructions.

With no doubt, at the end of the concert each day, everyone left for home, satisfied and happy. The family members of the performers were ever so proud, and the performers ever so grateful for getting the opportunity to perform. And for the people who came just for the sake of enjoying, were ever so glad they did!

 The annual concert of 2015 was and still is a memorable event for LMSS.

Report of the Retreat

              Report of the Retreat                 22.07.2015

On the invitation of His Eminence Khamtrul Rinpochhe 51 students and two teachers of Lungtenzampa Middle Secondary School got the opportunity to attend a five days retreat (10-14 July) at Druk Ralung Shedrupcholing monastery in Thimphu.

When we hear the word ‘retreat’ or ‘tsam’ in dzongkha, the first thing that comes to our mind is the images of rituals, prostrations, meditation, prayers, monks and the nuns. We often tend to give a rigid definition or stereotype it, having the notion that religion and anything associated with it is meant only for the monk, the nuns or the older people. We feel that it is strict, tedious, boring or that it has fixed restrictions, but these five days retreat has made us realize that our concept was totally wrong.

Buddhism and spirituality is not about doing things or performing deeds that are expected from a person. It is more about rediscovering one’s true inner self and realizing the ultimate truth. Therefore, many spiritual leaders say that they would rather call Buddhism a philosophy rather than a religion.

During this 5 days retreat, we learned about the process of meditation and its benefits. We also learned about the origin of Buddhism and the different sects of Buddhism. His eminence also explained to us the meanings and the reasons for chanting different prayers.  If we take a simple example of the Morning Prayer that we do every day in the school, all these years we were merely chanting it, without understanding the meaning of these lines, simply because we were supposed to do so. From this retreat we understood the essence of these prayers and its benefit. We also had a refuge taking ceremony which was when we actually began to understand the Dharma teachings. This ceremony was a moment of realization of our unconditional devotion and respect to the Buddha, Dharma and Sangha.

Apart from the religious activities, we also got the opportunity to take part in the various talk shows on enthralling topics by eminent guest speakers, which were an eye-opening experience. Every night we were also shown documentaries and also an educative block buster Bhutanese movie which were all about taming our wild mind, about determination, spreading the happiness and selflessness.

Though we had a very tight schedule (7 am to 8 pm) this retreat has given us a lot to learn and understand. All the Dharma talks about ‘Karma’ (cause and effect and the root of all our sufferings) explained to us by His Eminence and other learned Lamas in very simple language with examples and stories from the religious texts were so convincing that we could relate to them. This renewed our faith and devotion to Buddhism.

We were lucky to have been given this opportunity to participate in this retreat for even if we can’t practice all the knowledge that we got from attending this retreat, we will definitely be remembering the essence of being a true human and be mindful of our thoughts and action. We will also take it as our responsibility to share this newfound knowledge with our friends so that they can also find the purpose of being a rational human.

We, the Lungtenzampa family, would like to thank Your Eminence for bestowing your love and affection on us, for always remembering us and for your unwavering support through all times. We pray for Your Eminence’s longevity, so that you continue to bless and inspire many more souls. Kadrin Che La.
