Two thousand years ago, the Lord Gautama Buddha delivered His First Sermon in a deer park near Benares, time has hallowed the Sarnath sculpture that was put upto commemorate the momentous event, areplica of the sculpture found its way to far off Sikkim where, in a valley on the fringe of Tashiling the Imperial Secretariat, a sheer 1,000 feet below, it was enshrined and a deer park created. The park, a sanctuary for deer from Sikkim and neighbouring countries, is a symbol of peace and harmony between neighbours. The enthroned Deity faces the Secretariat, it is, as it were, guiding light expressing the hope, in Buddhist scholar-saint Shantidev’s prayer that righteousness should ever prevail in the governance of the land. Steeped in region, the mysticism, the prayer flags, the stupas, the monasteries set the mood, while the curling mists around the robed Lamas sounding the long trumpets in distant valleys heighten the effect and set the pace. The royal chapel. “Tsuklakhang Royal” respository of Buddhist scriptures, stands resplendent in the Palace grounds. Lamas chanting prayers, beating cymbals, drums, reeds and trumpets welcome you to Rumtek Monastery, 24 km from the capital. Colourfull dressed, in saffron, yellow or maroon robes, the lamas offer a picture of peace and tranquillity—this is indeed over all a Buddhist region par excellence.
