From Buddha to the Lord Jesus Christ

It is a great pleasure to have an opportunity to approach ardent hearts of people with the life testimony. This imparts encouraging influences and relieves their unfaithfulness due to imperfection. For the factual sharing of the testimony, it is best to enlist the real background and then expedition to conversion so as to generalize the perfect salvation through the redeemer.

Bhutan is a tiny Himalayan country, which is covered with evergreen forest and snow. It is unique and beautiful because the land is finely decorated by different rivers and other special features. There are twenty districts in this country but among them one is much more special to me, for I born in it's lap. I took birth in Monger tribe and occupied the hearts of the parent enhancing as a Hindu. But my heart was never satisfied with what we used to do in our ritual performance. Real peace and truth was my internal desire but I found myself unsuccessful for acquiring it through our rite. So, I admired Lord Buddha's teachings in order to quench my up-growing thirst. Soon his teaching led my heart to adopt his sermon and serve him as my personal God. But my reckoning thirst was slowly upgrading itself leading my beautiful life to instability and ruin. I, in the failure of hope, considered myself not to live longer in this unpleasant world for I thought, "I don't have future, and it would be better if all people die together by means of world war."

One day, amidst of the critical situation, I was given a tract named "The story of Jesus" by my cousin brother who still is an unchristian. When I was proceeding through that tract, curiously seeking to quench the thirst, reality along with peach and truth happened to be installed, for the first time, in my life. Besides these, I was successful to acquire answers of many logically unanswerable questions and beyond my expectations I found salvation, redemption, healing and eternal life, only in Jesus Christ. I also came to realize that he is only the threshold of heavenly kingdom. So, I made no delay to accept him as my personal Lord and Saviour. I have the certainty that he promoted me to abundant peace and security. My conversion made me changed in most expects of my life, so I started to exercise my faith to reveal Jesus Christ as Saviour to my neighbors. When my society came to recognize my activity, they refused to acknowledge me in my real dignity. In order to detain me to formal stage I was persuaded, smitten, cursed, set apart from fellowships, scolded, taken to office to entangle as much as they could, and threatened. But the hands of ever-enormous God was with me. As receiving Jesus Christ was my great achievement, no temptation separated me from my faith in Jesus Christ. The continuous development of my faith was leading me to spirituality, which supported me to withstand any kinds of trials.

At last, after facing a lot of persecutions, I was compelled to leave my birthplace for the sake of Lord Jesus Christ. Now I am far away from my beloved family. Although I am away from them my heart is well satisfied because I have found real joy, peace, truth, hope and future in Jesus Christ. I always find my tears wiped away by my compassionate Jesus Christ and I cannot comprehend such a vast compassion. When I perceive the aid that Jesus did in my life I prefer to offer wreath of thanks, from the wallet of my heart, to the gracious God.
