La nye ngam dang chorten

In the darkest night
The radiant moon was alluring to observe
Rising above the horizon and 
Reflecting the earthly nature 

The radiance of the moon
And the colour of the stupa brightens the whole universe
The whitest stupa of the last Shangrila glows
Wish-fulfilling stupa to the worshippers 

Among lakhs of Buddhist people 
I stepped on the divine place 
I circumambulate and followed the crowds
A reverential silence ruled and the sound of footsteps was in vain

Devoted and religious people 
Happily, walks under the vibrancy of the moon 
It is a never ending destination 
Doing good is the end of our destiny.
