Samtse Dzongkhag joins the nation in commemorating the construction of 108 Jangchub Chortens at Gelephu Mindfulness City (GMC) on 1 November 2026, coinciding with the 18th Coronation Anniversary of His Majesty The King.
This auspicious initiative represents a significant milestone in Bhutan’s spiritual and cultural journey, reflecting the nation’s deep-rooted Buddhist traditions, devotion, and commitment to preserving its sacred heritage for generations to come. The 108 Jangchub Chortens symbolise enlightenment, peace, compassion, and the collective aspirations of the Bhutanese people for harmony and well-being.
Beyond their architectural significance, the chortens embody the enduring spiritual values that form an integral part of Bhutanese identity. This remarkable endeavour also reflects Bhutan’s vision of embracing progress while remaining firmly grounded in its spiritual traditions, cultural values, and commitment to promoting happiness and well-being.
As the nation comes together for this historic occasion, Samtse Dzongkhag extends its support and joins in the collective prayers and aspirations for the successful completion of this sacred initiative. May the blessings of the Three Jewels bring peace, happiness, prosperity, and harmony to the Kingdom of Bhutan and all sentient beings.
