8" Comforting Ceramic Bisque Fertility Buddha with Children
One of the most unusual Buddhist saints who came to
Bhutan in 15th century was Lam Drukpa Kunley, the
“divine madman”. His outrageous nature of teachings
often involved strong sexual connotations and used his
phallus as the most important symbolic tool for all his
teachings, and to destroy demons and evil spirits. Under
the guise of thoughtless womanizing, one of the Lam’s
greatest gift to countless beneficiaries was children.
Every year hundreds of people from all corners of the
Bhutan make pilgrimages to Chhime Lhakhang, an ancient
monastery near Punakha, dedicated to fertility and founded
by Lam Drukpa Kuenley, to pray for children. They get
blessed by a symbolic phallus which represents the sign of
fertility and other relegious objects of the Lam. It will
take only few stories of the Lam to understand why
everyone in this magical kingdom believes that the Lam’s
blessings will help a woman concieve.
