Description

Bhutanese history is steeped in mythology. From Guru Rinpoche's arrival on the back of a flying tigress, the advent of Buddhism in Bhutan is all about amazing practitioners and fantastic feats. This publication, Seeds of Faith, has stood resolutely true to that inimitable Bhutanese spirit. It draws substance and strength from centuries-old religious traditions.

In its own unique way, this is as much a book for the devout pilgrim as it is for the discerning researcher, the erudite history scholar, the curious tourist, the cautious environmentalist, and the caring exponent of Bhutanese culture.

Ultimately, this publication is a reflection of Bhutan's development philosophy of Gross National Happiness (GNH). Seeds of Faith is an attempt by one generation that, in the tradition of its forefathers, hopes to pass on a contemporary guide on our hitherto undocumented cultural heritage to the torchbearers of the future, for posterity.

This volume presents the history of Bumthang in Bhutan. It is one of Bhutan's twenty districts, and is located in the northern central region. composed of four valleys Bumthang Dzongkhag is administered from the Jakar Yuley Namgyel Phodrang in the Chamkhar valley. The complex, built in the 17th century, is better known today as Jakar Dzong. This volume will serve as an English language pilgrimage guide for the Bumthang district.
