to you. your to be able to come along. and say longs in for a long klein the treasured mushrooms only grow way up in the himalayas it'll take him 2 days just to get there. how was unlike say one many young good knees head for the city around 20 percent of the population now lives in the capital can put the city is one of the fastest growing in southeast asia the internet and television arrived at pretty much the same time 20 years ago since then in turn has been changing fast.

however police still direct the flow of traffic there are no traffic lights. georgie is making a stop in the temple to sponsor wants to buy him a warm jacket there for the monastery. and it will be very cold at the monastery there are no smaller sizes. ok we'll take it. in another part of the city doherty's future abbott lama non-gay is getting ready for the new start of the money asked ikey year he's on a big shopping expedition and to put that with the rest of. his budget is tight even though the monastery receives public funding. striking a hard bargain. how much is the spinach $25.00 for this.

when i was young the monks just stayed in the monasteries people visited them and brought them food but it hasn't been that way for quite some time we've got to go shopping here every week the new year starts the day after tomorrow at my monastery around 80 monks are coming back from vacation and we're expecting a lot of new children it's the most hectic time of the year for me when he did that in like you know how much 60. you've got to eat less now otherwise it's too expensive what about this. number at least tie that up and we'll meet at the bottom of the path can you see our monastery up there at the top it may snow soon. set off so the 1st load can be

put on the horses. on the pick up slow down and the 2nd one is leaving right away. they've almost finished now the purchases just have to survive being carried up the mountain on horses it's a 3 hour climb to the monastery. for the where the rest of the horses. here quite old and they should start loading the horses but nothing's happened to turn not listening to us a bit you know i think it's time for lima now and again to take charge. he is something else good.

ok i did you tell him without. you to think. you know now what. did you do now it's snowing hard up on the mountain there are monastery if we go up now with the horses the snow will soften the load these horses can't go up there anymore today and the other half aren't even here yet and i don't know what i should do if i need to get up there today to prepare for the monks arrival. and it would it's giving me a headache a. long head and so what i do know. lemon i'm gay hence up without the horse it's ok we're going see it tomorrow. the horses are supposed to go up the next day weather permitting they'll arrive just in the nick of time.

again it's time for a journey back into the past to the valleys of central time more time seems to have stood still. while mom hey i'm out of the children of you know are no no yeah let me see you there i've been making breakfast i hope they're making my rice into you with milk ok up out. now i'm 73 years old and still have to do all the work myself. going to. the wrong i have to confront you i'll stop complaining but the kids found good jobs in the city and

we're still here to look after the farm the children are happy and we are. the we're not. sure don't want to move villages in such a high spot that our cows don't produce enough milk still we take care of them every day give them quality feed what we're going to write about much and we live from it but it's hard work what about the. you know what i'm not one no not going to long. was long was way here we'll do it a moment randy more hopefully our children will. i hope so too after all these cows paid for their education. drive the cows over here. i'll take them out to pasture no. doubt we would order the young archers from our village challenge me to take part

in a tournament to manual festival i think i'll join in again this year if you would you agree with me doesn't do the good there now i'm worried at your age when you still compete your eyes have really bad you could shoot someone with the arrows no worries i can still do it legally it's such a bragger. you know this is a very special feather from a bird in our forest when the young arches see all they going to say wow. we do not. know if i got to use a thread to attach it to but then i'll put on a metal tear by dipping the point in rubber lacquer i don't sing it with i know i know it is not a drug. war it's got to be as straight as can be.

otherwise the arrow won't hit the target. or if there is going to go everyone will laugh at me what's this old man doing here but i'll show them. ok i don't need to look good for the festival otherwise they'll say i'm too old. then that won't interest anyone that you are. it was. up to me to morrow's the big archery tournaments and forgive me for i heard you want to take part adrienne you. love yes i do that you've kidded around with me

long enough on the wrong i was already knowing on bones when you were still just drinking milk. to knock it down or to move. winter is coming it's high time to harvest the rice. choky too is seeing the 1st fruit of fair labor the farmers have discovered that naeem tree oil is a natural tool for warding off the plague events. they've been spraying their fields with it regularly. so many of the homes hushes there are no ads here anymore

and over there most of them are going to cut a lot of burst marigolds are starting to bloom the credibility but we're worried because the organic farm inspector is coming from india today to see if we've met all the standards are going in a minute only to lose. the good so we haven't used chemicals well i don't know nina oil is really ok. this is choking the head of the farmers groups. and this is one chalk she's a part of the team. she did and i wanted to see which seemed to use when i was a plant you've got growing here and the different substances you treat the plants where he wants to see records of your daily work so push i was no no no no longer than the old to us was good as any risk of contamination from the neighbors you

understand that but yes if. the. inverse they take soil samples near the neighbor's property line then if you from the middle of the field. they mix the samples which are sent to india to be tested for pesticide contamination. then the moment of truth what about the name while. what you have you still. need formulation is acceptable work before using it is good that there are good as all the doctors often see those. you can use. but it's a good story to tell. you good news for me and it was that if i'm really very

curious to see the subtle test results that you book the day if the results are positive chuckie's farm will be the 1st e.u. certified organic farm in all of butan. on the roof of the world at more than 5000 meters above sea level say one is looking for a quarter seps mushrooms which are said to have healing properties. through us didn't i needed to take out a 3000 year old loan to keep us above water for the next half year. in that money's got to come back and now. i hope i find enough to do it with and i mean it's

a huge huge. one goes on for you could find the fungal everywhere because a few people know of their healing properties now you've got to go up higher to find them. everyone here knows how much money you can get for them and even people who have long since moved to the city are coming back now because only people who live in the highlands are allowed to gather the mushrooms and lime and change is also contributing to them becoming more scarce. though it's a day i'm not going to find anything like isn't on my side. great time the harvest a small the 3 caterpillar mushrooms are worth about 15 euros. i

found one of. if they're going with this is the legendary quarter subs medicinal mushroom the soil the parasitic fungal infests a caterpillar caterpillar dies and the mushroom grows through onto the surface we harvest this strange mix of caterpillar and fungus some. time with openings and with an interview in which i don't have things that i don't know david does that doesn't mean that the outside of butan people use them as

medicine. especially to make men strong. well the new it gives us a really good income. and that's why there are still young people here near the game would have been let in the world and or the there that's enough and there was some highlanders can now even afford to take a helicopter taxi to go shopping in the capital for them for local good jugglers i'm all for the golden ring and then from there users. say wang will need to spend many more weeks searching in order to pay back that loan. a little door to understand there are beginning the last day of their journey they're starting the climb to llama non-gays monastery at an altitude of over 3000 meters. walk a bit more tell me when you get tired. i'm

tired. just a little more than i'll carry here. finally after 4 more hours of hard hiking they reach the monastery. attribute is really small. for. his legs assume because he's worked so notch

that it. tom come on in yeah there are friends for you inside. your tree that we. go in there's a stove in there. that's better already. so now you're warm again. the cooler lewsey his feet got cold because of the snow. move now he'll sleep. he said he had a headache too. and he told the there's no movie. he needs really very small for the monastery but it's ok. today and tomorrow will be hard for him to read and now but none of that you can then he'll slowly get used to it and find friends if you can do what it could to be

in. the moment it used to be the custom that one child from each family became a monk. but in the mean time the remote monasteries are more often a catchment for children from poor families. you know you know. look. when you come on let's sleep. and you. do it. be a good boy and behave yourself ok david. why are you crying. i don't. want. you to do one turn cry you shouldn't cry wipe your tears.

in. my. sleep now. profound faith accompanies and guides every act either giving up another child to a monastery or even taking part in an archery tournaments. you can go for a. clue to the. nothing was given you didn't feel like i was what you call. a lot can happen during an archery tournament or know an arrow could easily hit someone that's why we're praying today and giving gifts to the local spirits and gods so that they protect us in your order will be good to you not.

them run by talking to you today the youngsters really don't know how difficult it was back then they've all gone soft i'll show you i'm only on the run. what. the target is 145 meters away every archer has 2 arrows. up cheney has taken on a big challenge but it nearly all goes wrong at the start when he has trouble stringing his bow. the knot needs to be small and.

oh. the 1st attempt. to look. too bad. this one will be a bonus i. know .

there are. i was once king of the arches. but now in 73 and it's high time the youngsters stepped into the spotlight. now i think i'll have to leave the stage to them. though. doherty's big day is here. the consecration of the monks. it symbolizes the day that buddha left his palace in search of the meaning of life in truth. the change in appearance demonstrates the renunciation of all worldly goods and the beginning of a my flung inner journey towards enlightenment. which. now

your heads look like watermelons. oh yes. that was it hit. a little bit ago that it ought to. proceed it did give us a little bit of the yes i was a. bit of it all and it did

it. did it was. good enough for the footage of it. and it was it was good it was still alive it. ditto if i was you. know i if my dish on the middle i feel different when i see my son as a monk now he's following buddhist pozen that makes me happy you're looking you're listening to something chris. kate and you still sad. and madder. than 1000 to be the new mug in it when i came to the monastery at the age of 7 along i was sad for a long time up with a. parent's couldn't take care of me as you know they had money problems so they

sent me away to do again i didn't and that's what i'm up to either dead in the muslims in the stomach and knew about the day i thank them for their decisions his muslim in the us i could follow buddhist path to good use and have found enter peace in life and death to needy ikechi been equal you look at the boys only how you only see little children into a room even one but they're not small anymore because their task is not a small one it if you go slowly they will learn through buddhist teachings to subordinate their needs to the well being of all living thing this is even some p.c. starting now dorothy's journey is part of our journey going to do. the

our it's finally spring blossoming jacaranda trees decorate. the most famous monastery in the country. nature is recovering from the long drive season a period of waiting is coming to an end for chokey to the organic farming inspectors have given her the go ahead her way to certification is clear they can start harvesting the flowers today. much easier love not only does leisure do all of them i've learned without lots of germs on our hands that we can't see with the naked eye it's only hard as we have to wash our hands very well to other children they are models of the ritual at the.

door everyone is excited because we've never done this work before it's the 1st time poster you are telling me. it's all blooming yes all flowering. just look i see. that one fo the other day because of the ad is we couldn't transplant the cornflowers satellite they still haven't blossomed. i really hope they do no that's an avalanche of shiny challenger don't. deliver mon one that much if this project brings the success we hope our grandchildren will still be worth living from and you took a good i've been a year on the new model of the cistern and. 2 months later the cornflowers are there and chuck his project has come to full fruition.
