2 Importance of Zhabdrung Kuchoe
Zhabdrung Kuchoe plays an important role in every people’s life in Bhutan. Bhutan is a religious country. In every step, they follow their monks. They prefer acknowledging the death anniversary over the birth anniversary. Buddhist teaching believes that birth is a normal occurrence. It is a basic beginning of life. Success is yet to proven.  So, they observe the death of an attained person. Because they believe death brings the fulfillment to any person. If it is the death of a spiritual figure, they observe it with great honor. Zhabdrung Ngawang Namgyal is an honorable figure. He was the unifier of Bhutan, he was the ruler and spiritual lama. In his lifetime he devoted his time to the country and his spirituality. 

3 The people of Bhutan commemorate his death in a traditional Himalayan way. By performing the Kuchoe prayer. He as the accomplisher as the religious ruler deserves it from every Bhutanese. This offering is most important for the new generation of Bhutanese who should know the root of the country. The man, the spiritual figure behind the Bhutan Kingdom. As the Bhutanese remark his Kuchoe on 22 April, it is major to remember the sacred person of Zhabdrung Ngawang Namgyal, make offerings to him, pray for his blessings, feel gratitude for his kindness, be motivated by his great works, and most vitally, recall the wise ideals, merits, concepts, and practices he personified.
