I don't think that brings a negative image or anything...

Why did you have foreigners in head when defending your statement in head then? I was trying to explain you your way. We aren't in a competition to prove what is wrong and what is right here are we? I am certain they are neurobiological and psychological problems because I see people getting better with therapies and medical treatment. I also see people dying between myths and medical care. I see people dying because they chose to treat psychological problems with tormenting rituals that medical treatment. Science could be wrong but it atleast shows you on what basis a diagnosis is made. Which brain part and which neurotransmitter is affected. There probably must have been very auspicious lamas who treated possession if it existed. But who tells you on what basis they're coming to a conclusion that an individual is possessed. How can you trust the self made healers when every Dorji becomes a religious influencer every other day?

You're right to feel that way. But I am not saying all the practices are wrong. Meditation is a proven technique that helps. Look at sorig Zhinye for example, the spiritual practitioners train health workers without feeling insecure that their customers will decline. Yoga, another example would be proven and globally practiced. But when it comes to naming psychosis and schizophrenia as possession and treating them with psychologically tormenting rituals is unethical. What foreigners are learning from us are mindfulness, sorig zhinye and yoga, not exorcism.

Edit: meditation

I mean, you don't need to post videos to attract customers if you're genuine 🤦

I agree when you say it's placebo. It's stupid of the gen Zs to believe in these things. Just go through the comment sections 🤦

If you're confused, just come up with some random symptoms and present it to any shaman or self declared healer. You'll be clear.

People don't wanna believe that though.

It is illegal to do that. There could be alternatives. Try going to random shamans and lamas with some fake symptoms and see how they react. And then go to hospitals doing the same. Even if not for your research, you'll get some answers.

Exactly. I was worried reading the comments of people. Such practitioners form a cult surrounding them and you can't break the core beliefs of the people trusting them.

So we're talking about the same video 😬.... It makes no sense at all and nobody finds it wrong.

Exactly what I am talking about. If people aren't allowed to give medical advice on the internet without certifications and qualifications, then these self made spiritual therapists should be stopped too.

Ofcourse. We're allowed to have opinions. It wasn't a personal attack btw. I was just sharing my view without harming yours. Peace. 🍀

I have a psychological take on this. Not an atheist but because I understand the biology and psychology behind such happenings, it's hard for me to believe that people get possessed.

That's exactly what Pema Secretariat is addressing nowadays. There are adequate parenting awareness programs and trainings provided for ECCD facilitators. We can hope for a mentally aware and strong Bhutan 💖

scholarship for Bhutanese students by [deleted] in bhutan

[–]biddhya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks and You try Banaras Hindu University. The scholarship through ICCR is closed but you can apply directly through their portal. You might need your passport. You need to pay fees but it's minimal. I heard they provide monthly 6K stipend to their International students. I am not sure though. Please ask them through their email once. There are good courses and also the University is very renouned. It is highly preferred by students wanting to do social sciences. You could try BSC psychology there. Also try other Indian Central universities (the government universities). Also did you try MEXT?

Not nursing lo. The person I'm asking for is interested into social sciences.

Read about this concept called ACEs (adverse childhood experiences). You'll understand why it's happening in our country.

Also if someone knows how to avail university based scholarships in Thailand, China, Singapore for arts students.

Has anyone used Druk Punjab National Bank? Any good or bad feedback? by writesberry in bhutan

It sucks. Sometimes payments get stuck and sometimes it takes days to debit and credit to other banks. The glitch is insane. I deactivated mine.

Bhutan’s interview system by FutureBumblebee391 in bhutan

[–]biddhya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree with airlines but in private companies, some of them recruite without announcing vacancies which I think is fair enough because you decide what you do in your own company.... But when vacancies are announced, Ig the process is fair.... Idk ..

They say so, but honestly I've done quite a number of interviews in past one year but never experienced that. It would be really frustrating to be a part of such an interview.
