Another theory says that it comes from the Sanskrit word 'Bhots-ant' meaning 'end of Tibet or south of Tibet'. However, to the Bhutanese themselves, their country is known as "Druk Yul" and its inhabitants as 'Drukpa'. In Bhutanese language, Druk means dragon and 'Druk-Yul' means 'the land of the Dragon'. This is because when the sect of Buddhism, which was later to become the dominant religion in Bhutan was first initiated at the Ralung monastery in Tibet, 'a loud roar of the thunder dragon' was heard echoing to the south. This was taken as an auspicious sign that the sect would fluorish in the south of Tibet, where Bhutan is, and the sect was named as the 'Drukpa sect'. The country where this sect later flourished was henceforth known as 'Druk-yul'.

name="home"; SEARCH HISTORY Archaeological evidence suggests Bhutan was inhabited possibly as early as 2000 BC. Buddhism was probably introduced in the 2nd century although traditionally its introduction is credited to the first visit of Guru Rinpoche in the 8th century. Guru Rinpoche is one of the most important figures in Bhutan's history, regarded as the second Buddha. Before the 16th century, numerous clans and noble families ruled in different valleys throughout Bhutan, quarrelling among them and with Tibet. This changed in 1616 with the arrival of Ngawang Namgyal, a monk of the Drukpa Kagyu school of Buddhism from Tibet. He taught throughout the region and soon established himself as the religious ruler of Bhutan with the title Shabdrung Rinpoche. He repelled attacks from rival lamas and Tibetan forces and transformed the southern valleys into a unified country called Druk Yul (Land of the Thunder Dragon). While the political system he established lasted until the beginning of the 20th century, the announcement of the Shabdrung's death in 1705 was followed by 200 years of internal conflict and political infighting. Instability lasted until 1907 when Ugyen Wangchuck was elected, by a unanimous vote of Bhutan's chiefs and principal lamas, as hereditary ruler of Bhutan. Thus the first king was crowned and the Wangchuck dynasty began. Over the following four decades, he and his heir, King Jigme Wangchuck, brought the entire country under the monarchy's direct control. Upon independence in 1947, India recognized Bhutan as a sovereign country.

BHUTAN : HISTORY It was in the early Middle Ages that Buddhism blossomed in Bhutan. The Tibetan-based Kasyupa School was established at the beginning of the 12th Century and missionaries were sent south to spread its teachings. The Lhapa school, Kasyupa sect, was set up in western Bhutan at the end of the12th century and the Drukpha school (another subdivision of Kasyupa) in the first half of the 13th century. For the next 500 years, disputes between the two theories of Buddhist practice were common. in the end, the Drukpa school; reignedsupreme and was even accepted in the eastern and the central areas where Nyingmapa monks had previously dominated. Many of Bhutan’s most celebrated ancestors descend from the NyingmapaSchool, including the ancestors of the present- day royal family. Prema Lingpa, the known Nyingmapasaintdied in Bumthang, his home, in 1521. He was the reincarnation of Guru Rimpoche and Longchen Rabjampa the philosopher. In his lfe he founded the monasteries at Petsheling, Kungzandra and Tamshing in the Bumthang valley. Mamy of Pema Lingpa’s descendants settled in the east where they strengthened the Nyinmapa’s hold on the area. Shabdrung Ngawang Namgyal, a Tibetan lama of the Drukpa School, designed the present system of intertwined religious and secular government. He was invited in Bhutan 1616. At that time no central authority existed ands regional conflict had persisted intermittently for centuries. In his quest to unify the country, he gained the support of many powerful families of his school and constructed Dzongs (fortress monasteries) in the main valley of western Bhutan. Designed to scare aggressors, the Dzongs command a powerful presence over the valleys in which they are still the centers of religious and civil authority.

In the eighth century AD, Guru Rinpoche ( also known as Padmasambhava-the lotus born ) came to Bhutan and established several sacred religious sites which are important places of pilgrimage for the Buddhist world today. He had hidden so many treasures, in the form of scriptures and other artifacts, later destined to be discovered by other saints for the continual turn of the wheel of dharma. Some of the treasures were taken out miraculously from the Mebhar Tsho ( the burning Lake ) in Bumthang by Terton Pema Lingpa . One of the caves where Guru meditated, the sacrosanct Taktsang monastery , today has become the distinguished religious and historical icon of the Kingdom. Another important chapter in the Bhutanese history unfolded in the early 13th century when the Buddhist teacher, Phajo Drugom Zhingpo introduced the Drukpa Kagyu school of Mahayana Buddhism in western Bhutan. Over the years many other saints and religious figures helped shape and develop its religion. In 1972 King Jigme Singye Wangchuk succeeded his father and became the youngest monarch in the world, with strong emphasis on preserving the religious, cultural heritage and environment, the dynamic monarch steered Bhutan safely into the 21st century.

A BRIEF HISTORY OF BHUTAN Little is known of prehistoric Bhutan. However, stone implements and megaliths marking places of worship or hunting grounds indicate that people lived here at the end of the Neolithic, around 2000 BC. During the first millennium BC, nomadic tribes of Indian or Tibeto-Mongol origin appear to have mixed with these native peoples from the prehistoric period. The development of Buddhism The unification of the country In 1616, due to a quarrel over the succession to the throne of Ralung, the seat of the drukpa-kagyu Shabdrung Resisting many invasions by the Tibetans and Mongols during the course of his reign, Ngawang Namgyel quickly became both feared and admired inside Bhutan and beyond its borders. His great sense of organisation enabled him to introduce order into the monasteries and to set up a religious hierarchy dominated by the Je Khenpo . He appointed a regent, the Desi , to head the civil administration, giving him temporal power throughout the country. This double system of government, known as chhoesi , remained in force in Bhutan until the creation of the hereditary monarchy in 1907. Because of his legacy in terms of administrative, legislative and religious reforms, Ngawang Namgyel is considered to be the principal architect of modern Bhutan.

Zhabdrung Nawang Namgyal Before Zhabdrung Nawang Namgyal‘s arrival, numerous clans ruled in different valleys of Bhutan, having internecine war and quarrel among themselves and with Tibet. The arrival of Zhabdrung Nawang Namgyal is considered as the most important era in the history of Bhutan. Zhabdrung literally means, "at whose feet one submits". Over the next thirty years, he conquered and unified the country under his central leadership, which otherwise was fragmented into petty principalities, ruled over by the tribal feudal chiefs. Zhabdrung established himself as the country's supreme leader. He ruled over Bhutan for thirty-five years until his retirement in 1651 A.D. During his reign of 35 years, he built dzongs (fortress), monasteries, and religious institutions. He established the Drukpa Kargyupa school of Tantric Mahayana Buddhism in Bhutan. The dual form of governance continued until the birth of the Wangchuk dynasty and establishment of hereditary Monarchy in 1907. Ugyen Wangchuck was elected as the first hereditary monarch of Bhutan on December 17, 1907. The present King Jigme Singye Wangchuck is the fourth hereditary king.

NEPAL TIBET BHUTAN SIKKIM ... www.kamanatreks.com SERVICES IN BHUTAN History of Bhutan Till well into the 17th Century, Bhutan was split up into small independent principalities. After the arrival of Buddhism, during the seventh century, the various Buddhist schools began sharing the power in the country with the old aristocratic families. The cleric Shabdrung Ngawang Namgyel united the independent principalities into one state. After his death the theocracy disintegrated and the provincial lords fought to gain control over the central power. Only the establishment of the monarchy in 1907 brought peace again. Today the fourth King of Bhutan is leading his country into modern times. Geography of Bhutan Bhutan is a landlocked country. It is about 47,000 kilometres - roughly the size of Switzerland. It is located between Tibet in the north, Indian states of West Bengal and Assam in the south, and Arunachal Pradesh in the east. Bhutan has three major land regions. The Great Himalayan region in the north rises more than 4300 m (14,000 ft) along the Tibetan border. This area is uninhabited except for a few scattered settlements in the high valleys. The Great Himalayas radiate southward into central Bhutan, creating the Middle Himalayan zone.

Guru Rinpoche is the most important figure in Bhutan's history, regarded as the second Buddha. His miraculous powers included the ability to subdue demons and evil spirits, and he preserved his teachings and wisdom by concealing them in the form of terma (hidden treasures) to be found later by enlightened treasure discoverers known as tertons. One of the best known of these tertons was Pema Lingpa; the texts and artefacts he found, the religious dances he composed, and the art he produced, are vital parts of Bhutan's living heritage. Before the 16th century, numerous clans and noble families ruled in different valleys throughout Bhutan , quarelling among themselves and with Tibet .

Although Bhutan's history since the 7th century is becoming increasingly known, its more ancient history remains to be brought to light. Bhutan has been an independent nation throughout its history. However, it was not until the 17th century that Shabdrung Ngawang Namgyal (1594 - 1652) unified the country into one state, that Bhutan was brought under one rule. He established a theocracy in 1652 and gave Bhutan an administrative system, and a code of law. The theocracy established by Shabdrung ended in 1907 when Ugyen Wangchuck (1862 - 1926) was elected as the first king of Bhutan by popular consensus. Since the establishment of the monarchy in 1907, there have been four hereditary kings.

Bhutan till the time of Crowning of First Herediatary King in 1907, it was rule by various Desis, (appointed rulers of Zhabdrung) under his code of conduct and form of government that he published before his death. All other histories are legend, folklore and myth passed down through generations. Many of the stories are dramatized through dance in " Tsechus " religious festivals.

An innocent, young Catholic woman from a Canadian mining town who had "never been anywhere," Zeppa signed up for a two-year stint teaching in a remote corner of the Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan. Despite the initial shock of material privation and such minor inconveniences as giardia, boils, and leeches, Zeppa felt herself growing into the vast spaces of simplicity that opened up beyond the clutter of modern life. Alongside her burgeoning enchantment, a parallel realization that all was not right in Shangri-La arose, especially after her transfer to a college campus charged...
