The official religion of Bhutan is Vajrayana Buddhism, a significant school of Mahayana Buddhism distinguished by its esoteric teachings and practices. Vajrayana Buddhism permeates Bhutanese society, not only influencing religious customs but also shaping cultural traditions, artistic expressions, architectural styles, and governance structures. The majority of Bhutan's population follows this faith, with numerous monasteries and temples spread across the country, serving as vital spiritual hubs and community gathering places. The teachings of Vajrayana Buddhism emphasize core values such as compassion, mindfulness, and the quest for enlightenment through a variety of meditation practices and ceremonial observances. This profound religious legacy manifests in Bhutan's vibrant festivals, diverse art forms, and the deep respect accorded to religious leaders and sacred locations.
