History
of the Drukpa Kagyud School in Bhutan
(12th to 17th Century)
by Yonten Dargye
Paperback, 2001, 228 p.
ISBN 9993661600
A pioneering study of the established school of Mahayana
Buddhism in Bhutan, tracing the early history diffusion and
development of the Drukpa Kagyu school in the country. This
work makes a significant contribution to the study of Tibeto-Bhutanese
cultural intercourse during the 12th to 14th century, which
suggests that Tibet and Bhutan enjoyed close cultural relations
in the pre-modern era but also encountered frequent political
conflicts. This does not mean that Bhutanese and Tibetans
share the same cultural identity. Indeed the Bhutanese fought
five wars with Tibet mostly to defend their seperate identity
and territory.
