Sacred Historic Buddhist Site Restored in China by Drukpas
– World’s 20th Ashoka Stupa Found and Restored to its Former Glory
– His Holiness the Gyalwang Drukpa Installs World’s Largest Buddha Statue
NEW DELHI, India, July 24, 2012 /PRNewswire-Asia/ — Drukpa Buddhists, led by the spiritual Head, His Holiness the Gyalwang Drukpa (HHGD) have completed the mammoth task of restoring the sacred historic Buddhist site at Nangchen, China. The restoration and beautification process had been on for the past 5 years under adverse climatic conditions. His Holiness oversaw this colossal work of restoration, done completely out of the efforts of the masters, disciples and sponsors of the Drukpa Lineage. The restored site was inaugurated by His Holiness the Gyalwang Drukpa.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120723/543830 )
Also known as Gomde or the “Abode of meditators”, Nangchen has produced generations of Dharma Kings, exemplary scholars and amazingly qualified monks, yogis and practitioners, mostly belonging to the Drukpa Buddhist Order.
HHGD established the Buddha Amitabha Statue at this historical site during this apolitical, purely cultural visit to Nangchen. The statue is world’s largest, and made entirely with a mixture of gold and bronze. The visit to China will help in connecting and bringing the two worlds of India and China closer. He was accompanied by a large delegation comprising Buddhist dignitaries and cultural champions from India and abroad, including Dr. BK Modi, Mr. Arjun Pandey and Michelle Yeoh.
The visit embodies the spirit of Live to Love: building bridges and working together to create a better world, while carrying the message of “World Peace, Harmony and Prosperity.”
The restored site also houses the Ashoka Stupa, one of the 84,000 built by Ashoka the Great more than 2000 years ago. The Ashoka Stupas have tremendous historical significance – the Indian Emblem is an adaptation of the lion capital derived from the Ashoka Stupa at Sarnath (India), and the ‘chakra’ in the Indian flag too has been derived from the Ashoka Stupa. Historically, the Stupas are symbolic of the expanse and influence of the empire of King Ashoka, who is credited with the propagation of Buddhism across Asia.
His Holiness also took this opportunity to visit the refugees of the earthquake that hit the region in April 2010, providing relief and encouragement
About Drukpa Buddhists
The Drukpa Buddhists follow the Mahayana Buddhist tradition in philosophy, i.e. the philosophy of “getting enlightened for the benefit of others”. “Druk” in Tibetan means “Dragon” and it also refers to the sound of thunder.

Leading electronics company looks to generate greater value from expansive international IP portfolio
HONG KONG, July 24, 2012 /PRNewswire-Asia/ — Leading Korean electronics company Top Engineering Co., Ltd has appointed CPA Global, the world＊s top intellectual property (IP) management specialist, to manage renewals of its entire patent and trademark portfolio. In addition, Top Engineering is working with CPA Global to help identify new IP assets for acquisition as well as opportunities to generate greater value from some of the company＊s existing IP Rights.
With factories in Gumi, Gimcheon and Paju in South Korea, Top Engineering is a major supplier of components to the semiconductor and flat panel display industries, and is a leader in a number of other technology sectors, including LED and OLED lighting. Founded in 1993, the company has over 1,400 patents and trademarks.
Under the agreement, CPA Global will be responsible for Top Engineering＊s existing patents and trademarks as well as those currently under application, both in South Korea and overseas. Top Engineering will also use leading edge patent search engine CPA Global Discover (SM) to help refine its patent research, preparation and application processes; while, at the same time, seeking opportunities via CPA Global＊s worldwide network to acquire IP Rights and monetise non-core IP assets through sale or licensing.
Commenting on the agreement, Mr Kyu Yong Bang, General Manager of the Patent team at Top Engineering, said: ※We are working with CPA Global to help ensure that we rigorously protect our core IP assets as well as develop a product innovation strategy that will enable us to remain one step ahead of the competition.

They are a highly innovative company, who continue to expand their product offering through the development of new technology. In addition to their own R&D initiatives, Top Engineering are also growing through acquisition.
※By appointing CPA Global to handle their renewals and by outsourcing to us the more time-consuming IP administrative tasks associated with their acquisition activities – including recordals, data verification and title updates across multiple international jurisdictions – Top Engineering are able to free up their in-house IP team to focus on more strategic work, while ensuring that the company does not lose any legal rights to the patents and other IP assets they have acquired.§
