Grandmother and Child.

Druykel - West Bhutan.

Difficile de quitter le Bhoutan sans évoquer le bonheur national brut (BNB ) C’est le seul pays au monde qui utilise cet indice, préconisé par le roi Jigme Singye Wangchuk en 1972. Au lieu de se contenter de mesurer des données purement économiques il a pour ambition de mesurer le bonheur et le bien-être des Bhoutanais. Il permet d’établir des plans économiques et de développement pour le pays tout en respectant les valeurs spirituelles bouddhistes.

Cet indice repose sur quatre piliers fondamentaux :
Un développement économique et social, durable et équitable ;
La préservation et la promotion des traditions culturelles bhoutanaises ;
La sauvegarde de l'environnement ;
Une bonne gouvernance .
En 2008, le BNB est intégré à la nouvelle Constitution du Bhoutan.

Gross national happiness.
It is difficult to leave Bhutan without mentioning gross national happiness (GNH). It is the only country in the world that uses this index, recommended by King Jigme Singye Wangchuk in 1972. Instead of measuring purely economic data, it aims to measure the happiness and well-being of Bhutanese people. It allows for economic and development plans for the country while respecting Buddhist spiritual values.

This index is based on four fundamental pillars:
Sustainable and equitable economic and social development;
The preservation and promotion of Bhutanese cultural traditions;
The protection of the environment;
A Good governance .
In 2008, the BNB was incorporated into the new Bhutan Constitution.

GNH is a wonderful idea we in the west could definitely learn from. This is a wonderful portrait of these two. I can definitely see the family resemblance. ~BV~

A fascinating and very beautiful double portrait! I like the idea of implementing GNH... V

The world in general would be a much different place if some form of GNH was followed in each country. This is a very special image of the young and old together.

If only more countries would adopt gross national happiness. This child is most fortunate to have been born with a future in Bhutan.

a charming pair, seemingly happy and open...the GNH index seems an inspired and original idea...perhaps spreading the survey worldwide would help alleviate some of the troubles afflicting so many countries these days...V
