Don't you sometimes wonder being Buddhist why there is no reincarnation of Buddha, it's because he reached Parinirvana after his physical death — it’s when he attained complete nirvana, free from the cycle of birth, death, and rebirth (samsara) but then what bout Maytreia?
Spending a billion Ngultrums, A new tax filing application or software called BITS is going to be developed, this comes before the much hyped about RAMIS has ever operated smoothly … GST was enacted in 2020 but coz of RAMIS failure it was never implemented.
