Tsum comes from the Tibetan word,"Tsombo" which means Vivid.
A sacred, virgin Himalayan pilgrimage valley, situated north east of Nepal, Gorkha district. This includes two remote villages development committee Chhekampar and Chumchet.
Together with the majestic back drops of the famous Ganesh Himal, Sringi Himal and Buddha Himal, this serene valley carries a history of ancient Himalayan civilization styles; culture, art, tradition, religion, customs and thinking.
The great Buddhist Yogi Chyuchin Milarepa once meditated here in the cave of the great mountains. Buddhist religion has a keen sense of beautiful- a mystic sense of nature that plays an important part in leading the mind from the mundane to the higher and deeper world of the divine and in transforming mere existence into an experience of living with wisdom and compassion.
Place like Tsum and other remote Himalayan villages have a long history of flourishing Buddhist religion and culture and had its extensive influence. The ancient remains are also vividly visible these days and can be seen by anyone.
Due to the inaccessibility, remoteness, out migration, this sacred valley and its people have been suffering from major setback, suppressed and thus become minority. The art, culture, tradition, religion has almost come to its extinction.
Tsum Welfare Committee, TWC, is therefore committed and devoted to preserve and revive its native and ancient valuable tradition in Tsum and other remote Himalayan village by fulfilling the needs of people. |
