Chimi Lhakhang, the Monastery Built on Bhutanese Humour and Fertility Blessings

Chimi Lhakhang is one of the few places where a monastery's reputation rests partly on humour. Built in honour of the Divine Madman, it remains a working fertility temple to this day.

Who was the Divine Madman?

Lama Drukpa Kunley was a fifteenth century teacher known for using shock and humour to teach religious lessons. Chimi Lhakhang was built where he is said to have subdued a demon using his teachings.

Why is it known as a fertility temple?

Couples struggling to conceive travel here for a blessing tied to the saint's teachings. Many families credit the temple directly for children born after a visit.

What will a visitor notice on the walk in?

Painted phalluses decorate many houses along the path, a tradition meant to ward off negative energy through humour, not to shock visitors.

The walk in is flat and easy, through farmland, suitable for most fitness levels.
