Yar La Aee
In the highlands of Bhutan, Thondula, his wife Yuelha, and their yak Dhondup embark on an adventurous journey, helping others and learning about compassion, cause and effect, and kindness. Their journey is filled with obstacles and moments of doubt, but they sing 'Yar La Aee' to keep their spirits high.
In the small village of Merak, nestled in the highlands of Bhutan, Thondula lived with his wife Yuelha and their loyal yak, Dhondup. One evening, Thondula discovered that the village's sacred prayer wheel was broken, and without it, the villagers feared their prayers would go unanswered.
Thondula, Yuelha, and Dhondup decided to embark on a journey to find a way to repair the prayer wheel. They knew the journey would be difficult, but their compassion for their fellow villagers drove them forward. As they set out, they sang, 'Yar La Aee, Yar La Aee,' to keep their spirits high.
Their first obstacle came when they reached a river with a broken bridge. The water was too deep to cross without the bridge, and they had no tools to repair it. Thondula scratched his head, deep in thought.
- How will we cross this river? Yuelha asked. - We need to find another way or repair the bridge, Thondula replied. Dhondup nudged Thondula, as if encouraging him to think harder.
After much deliberation, they decided to gather fallen branches and vines to create a makeshift bridge. It was a challenging task, but their teamwork paid off. They carefully crossed the river, one step at a time.
Further along their journey, they encountered a dense forest. The thick undergrowth and tangled vines made it difficult to find a clear path. They had to cut through the vegetation with whatever tools they had.
- This forest seems endless, Yuelha sighed. - We must keep going; the villagers are counting on us, Thondula encouraged. They pressed on, despite the exhaustion settling in.
As night fell, they decided to camp under a large tree. They were tired and hungry, but they shared what little food they had. Thondula looked up at the stars, hoping for guidance.
The next morning, they were awakened by a strange noise. They discovered a young deer trapped in a hunter's snare. Thondula quickly freed the deer, who looked at them gratefully before disappearing into the forest.
- We did a good deed today, Yuelha said with a smile. - Helping others brings us closer to our goal, Thondula replied. They felt a renewed sense of purpose as they continued their journey.
After days of traveling, they reached a mountain pass blocked by a landslide. The path was completely covered with rocks and debris, making it impossible to pass. Thondula felt a wave of despair.
- This is too much; we'll never make it, Thondula said, his voice filled with frustration. - We can't give up now, Yuelha insisted. Dhondup nudged Thondula again, as if to remind him of their mission.
Just then, an old hermit appeared from behind the rocks. - You seem troubled, the hermit said. - We need to repair the village prayer wheel, Thondula explained. The hermit nodded and shared his wisdom.
The hermit taught them a special chant to clear the path. Together, they chanted, 'Yar La Aee, Yar La Aee,' and the rocks began to move, creating a clear passage. Thondula felt a surge of hope.
With the hermit's guidance, they finally reached the sacred monastery. The monks welcomed them warmly and helped them repair the prayer wheel. Thondula, Yuelha, and Dhondup felt immense relief and joy.
As they returned to their village, they sang, 'Yar La Aee, Yar La Aee,' their hearts full of gratitude. The villagers rejoiced at the sight of the repaired prayer wheel and thanked Thondula, Yuelha, and Dhondup for their bravery and kindness.
