t.~ ~ ~( " ,c _ cIN 1914, National Geographic published the first
photos of the South Asian kingdom of Bhutan
released in the U.S. The wife of the dean of what
would become the University of Texas at El Paso
became infatuated with the country's architecture,
leading the school's construction to be built in
traditional Bhutanese style. "I had never been on
campus before, and I was blown away by how cool
it looks," Wilson says. "The architecture is stunning."
Throughout the years, the university and the remote
Himalayan country's relationship has deepened.
That's why, in 2008, the kingdom of Bhutan gifted
the school with the "Lhakhang," a small building
in the center of campus in the style of a Bhutanese
Buddhist temple. Though "lhakhang" translates to
"temple" in English, the structure is not a place of
worship. Rather the Bhutanese consider lhakhangs
to be a center for contemplative reflection. .
