Invitation for International YouTubers

On November 1, 2026, 108 stupas will be constructed along the Mao River in Gelephu, marking a significant and historic moment in the development journey of Gelephu Mindfulness City (GMC).

The stupas are planned to be constructed within 24 hours, as part of an effort associated with setting a Guinness World Records™ record. This makes it an extraordinary event to document and share with a global audience.

I am looking to collaborate with international YouTubers and content creators who may be interested in covering this historic occasion. I can provide raw footage captured on location in the field, allowing you to create a documentary, vlog, or other content for an international audience.

If you are interested in this collaboration, please DM me.

Let’s come together to document this historic moment and share the story of Gelephu with the world.

— Loden

First photo: Chris and I having tea at our monastery canteen. Chris travelled all the way from the UK for the second time to Bhutan. This time, he even travelled to eastern Bhutan — a place that even a native Bhutanese like myself has never visited. He returned home a couple of months ago and is now preparing his next travelogue.

Second photo: I attended an empowerment and transmission at Dawathang in Gelephu. These are Vietnamese devotees with whom I spent time as their translator. The two wearing gho are Bhutanese politicians.

Third photo: After returning to my monastery from the Gelephu programme, I had quite a busy schedule, especially during the conferring of Khenpo and Lama titles to 25 and 6 monks respectively. This photo is of my teacher, who was also among the 25 newly conferred Khenpos at the age of 33 — the youngest of them all.

Just a small update from recent days.

A Day in the Life of a Buddhist Monk 🙏

Many people often wonder what a monk’s daily life looks like. Is it only meditation and prayers? Or is there more to it?

In this video, I’m sharing a simple glimpse of my daily life — from the quiet morning hours to the small moments that make monastic life meaningful. It’s not a grand story, but a peaceful one.

Sometimes the most ordinary days carry the deepest meaning.

Come along and spend a day with me.
