Here at this spot at Damchu (Phuentsholing-Thimphu
Highway) Lam Ngawang Drukpa of Tshamadrak Monastery built a stone statue of
Dorje Namjon (Vajra Vidharana) and consecrated elaborately. After that he
revealed this sacred Drupchu for the benefits of all people.

This was done so that people traveling to India
can counteract negative influences from evil spirits and protect them from
Malaria. In the past the route to Pasakha entrails through this area and with
the absence of water on the way, people are bound to drink this Drupchu thereby protected.
Based on this Drupchu the place was named
Dangchu (Clear Water) but later the pronunciation became Damchu which literally
mean mud water.
This drupchu is also believed to cure plague,
epidemic and apparition (ghostly disturbance).
Terton Drukdra Dorje also drank this water and
blessed it. As such, the Drupchu is considered sacred with all the good signs
and auspiciousness.
Please pass on the message to people to stop
here and drink Drupchu before proceeding to Phuentsholing to reap the benefits
of its intended purpose.
Usually, the road is so good that people are in
no mood to stop than to continue on top gears.
When consuming recite the following Mantra:
ན་མཤྕཎྜ་བཛྲ་ཀྲོ་དྷ་ཡ། ཧུ་ལུ་ཧུ་ལུ། ཏིཥྛ་ཏིཥྛ། བྷནྡྷ་བྷནྡྷ། ཧ་ན་ཧ་ན། ཨ་མྲྀ་ཏེ་ཧཱུྃ་ཕཊ། ཞེས་སོ།
(NAMASH CHANDA VAJRA KRODHAYA HULU HULU TISTHA
TISTHA BANDHA BANDHA HANA HANA AMRITE HUM PHAT)
I always make a point to drink when ever I pass
by.
Lastly I pay tribute to Lam Ngawang Drukpa for
revealing this sacred Drupchu.
