Jangsem Monday

Jangsem Monday To inspire an Eco-friendly "enlightened" diet and lifestyle; a lifestyle that is both passionate and compassionate. We are not against but for anyone :)

Meatless Monday began in 2003, launched in association with the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. In May, 2009, Ghent, Belgium, became the first non-U.S. city to go meatless. Shortly thereafter, Paul McCartney introduced the U.K. to Meat-Free Mondays. Meatless Monday is now active in 44 countries and growing because every nation can bring its unique culture, customs and cuisine to t

he table in meat free and vegetarian dishes. See our new Global Meatless Monday map on Pinterest. Skipping meat one day a week is good for you, great for your nation’s health, and fantastic for the planet. In Bhutan, Meatless Monday is known as "Jangsem Monday". Jangsem actually translates as "Bodhicitta" in the Sanskrit language, which is taught by the Buddha and Buddhist masters as the essence of enlightenment. Jangsem serves as reminder to think beyond yourself and to think of others. We plan to promote Jangsem Monday through vegetarian recipes, gardening, getting local politicians, actors, singers, bands and artist to join the movement. We are working to visit schools in Bhutan to encourage students to understand the connection between good health (self and planet) and going meatless. Further, we are working to spread the movement to hotels and restaurants, and also promoting vegetarian restaurants. We will Promote Meatless Monday by featuring participants of schools, communities and people who are going meatless on Monday, online, on the radio and on T.V. We believe that Jangsem Monday is possible because it is healthy, Eco-friendly and easy; and hey!! It's just "1" day :)

Heart Breaking, and deeply humbling news! 🥲

Karma Dendup, our familiar face from BBS has shared in a recent TEDx talk that he is biologically blind. At first, it was hard to believe, but it is true.

This makes his calm presence and professionalism on screen even more remarkable. Quiet strength like this deserves our respect.

Wishing him and his family continued strength. If he ever chooses to share his journey, it could inspire and raise awareness for many.

Sometimes, the strongest stories are the ones we never see. Take care, my Man! We Love you and we pray for the miracles! 🥰
