High above the Laya village of Gayza, on a cliff below Mount Kangzengla overlooking the fork of the Zamtongha Chu, there's a monastery called Dung Goempa.

The Sakyapas established this lhakhangem and a Lama came from Tibet each year to perform the rituals. After the Chinese invasion, the Lama was imprisoned in Tibet and the goempaem abandoned.

Laya region is famous and blessed because it was the first place in Bhutan to welcome Shabdrung, the 17th Century Drukpa lama who united the warring tribes of Bhutan into a Buddhist theocracy.  After he was driven from Tibet, Shabdrung crossed the border into the Laya village of Gayza and then stopped in neighboring Lungo, but the Lungo people turned their backs on him. Next, he went down to Gasa but received the same hostility. He came back north and took shelter in a cave near Dung Goempa.  A family from the Laya village of Tongra found Shabdrung and invited him to their house. He blessed this family. The family still lives in that house and they are the richest people in Laya.

The early religion of Laya was Bon. The astrologers and shamans are Bonpos. Now they mix in some Buddhism. In the old days they practiced animal sacrifice, but many high Buddhist Lamas came to Laya to give teachings and now the Bonpos have stopped killing.

These Bon deities are the spirits of nature. They can help us or harm us in this life, they can bring great wealth or cause great suffering but they cannot lead us to enlightenment. They cannot even become enlightened themselves. They must be reborn as humans to attain enlightenment. That is why human rebirth is so precious.

PHOTO PRINTS
Prints are on Hahnemuhle heavyweight (315 gsm) 100% archival cotton “Photo Rag Baryta” paper, using archival inks and archival spray coating. They have a 200-year life expectancy before any deterioration of the print will be observed when stored, handled, and displayed under archival conditions.

CANVAS PRINTS
What is often called “Gallery Wrap Canvas” is a fine art inkjet (Giclee) print on canvas, with printed edges to wrap around a wooden stretcher frame, like a painting. With canvas prints, your print image is still the same size, but given a "wrap effect" around the edges to account for the thickness of the stretcher. Canvas can be rolled and shipped with no effect to the print. Your local framing shop should be able to mount the canvas to stretchers at a fraction of the cost of traditional framing, making for an overall more economical way to get fine art on your wall. The canvas is printed to wrap around a 1-inch stretcher (1.5 inches on larger sizes). Specifications will be provided with your order. Feel free to contact us if you need guidance with your canvas order.

retractable cable is a game changer for desk cable management
Color: Black
The retractable cable on this power strip is the feature I didn't know I needed. Being able to extend exactly as much cord as you need and have the rest neatly contained means zero cable clutter on the desk. The 2.3ft cord is enough for most desk setups and the coil retracts cleanly every time. 100W total output is adequate for a multi-device setup — I run a MacBook Pro (via the 65W USB-C port), an iPad, a phone, and a small lamp off it simultaneously without issues. Three AC outlets cover anything that doesn't charge via USB. The form factor is compact enough that it sits on the desk surface without being in the way. Build quality feels premium, not flimsy. The InstaCord retraction mechanism is smooth and doesn't feel like it'll snap after a few months. One thing to note: this doesn't have a battery, it's just a power strip with a retractable cord. If you need a battery backup, look elsewhere. As a pure power strip with great cable management, it's excellent.

Awesome desktop accessory!
Color: Black
Perfect desktop accessory for maximum functionality. 3 outlets on the back and 2 USB C cables that come out the sides. Holding to the side via a magnet. Charges my devices very quickly. Absolute workhorse for its weight and portability.

Minimalist's Dream
Color: Black, Color: Black
The ultimate desk decluttering tool! I am extremely happy with this 7-in-1 station. The best part is the built-in retractable cables; I no longer have to manage a mess of cords on my desk. It has a very small footprint but packs enough punch to power my laptop and several other devices at once. It’s a high-quality, compact solution that solved all my cable management issues. Five stars!

Good Charging Station!
Color: Black
I’ve been using the Anker Nano 7-in-1 charging station for a few weeks now and overall I’m happy with it. I wanted something that could replace multiple chargers on my desk, and this does exactly that. Being able to plug in a laptop, phone, and a few other devices at the same time without swapping cords has been really convenient. The USB-C ports provide fast charging, including enough power for a laptop, which was important to me. Everything charges reliably and the unit doesn’t get excessively warm during normal use. The build quality feels solid, which is what I’ve come to expect from Anker products. It also doesn’t take up much space, so it works well on a desk or nightstand. One thing to be aware of is that when multiple devices are plugged in, charging speeds can vary depending on what’s connected. It hasn’t been a problem for me, but it’s worth noting. Also, it’s a bit heavier than a basic power strip, so it’s better suited for stationary use rather than travel. Overall, this is a well-made charging station that helps keep things organized and cuts down on cable clutter. If you have several devices to charge and want a cleaner setup, this is a good option. Pros: Charges multiple devices at once Fast USB-C charging, including laptops Solid build quality Helps reduce cable clutter Cons: Charging speed varies with multiple devices Slightly bulky for travel TL;DR: A reliable and convenient charging station that does what it’s supposed to do.

Good quality and works perfectly but could use more features.
Color: Black
Overall, it's great, I love the ability to clean up my desk and charge all of my stuff, it really makes it SO much cleaner. However, I feel like it could use more features. The fake screen is 4.5" on 2", however, the actual embedded screen is under 1"/1". Also, the USB-C numbering system seems to be off, but I recognize this is all super picky. I really wish they had used the face area to put a clock or a larger screen. The charge speed is great, but I haven't tried charging my laptop or anything heavy off of it. Overall, if you don't care about the minor gripes ,then it's perfect.
