Sigay Dorji narrates a Lozey called "Bya Lagpai Yurel Buthri". It is about a hermit named Sangay Dorji who was required to pay a paper tax to the lama, for the project of writing the Kangjur and Tenjur manuscripts in Gangtey. Sangay Dorji travelled to the forest to find a paper tree at sunset but he heard utter frustration from a bird Yurel Buthri who had built her nest on it. As he prepared to wield his axe, the bird begged the Buddhist hermit not to. He shared the story of the paper tax and the bird promised to appraoch the lama and request a delay of the tax, which the bird would pay herself after her chicks had developed their wings. She persuaded the hermit to return to his prayers and flew off to see the lama. The lama heard her story and cancelled Sangay Dorji's tax and granted the paper tree as her home. The bird got its nesting place, the hermit had his levy cancelled, and the lama was pleased that his spiritual warmth attracts even wild birds to him. This short piece of oral history captures the spiritual, ecological and political tensions, which the collection for raw materials for paper entailed.
