Bhutan's spiritual leaders, who played a significant role in forming the country's history and identity, are known by the title "Zhabdrung Rinpoche". Ngawang Namgyal, the first Zhabdrung Rinpoche, departed Tibet in the 17th century and unified Bhutan under a single authority, establishing a distinct blend of spiritual and temporal government. He established the Drukpa Kagyu school of Tibetan Buddhism and oversaw the construction of major religious and administrative institutions. Since then, the Zhabdrung Rinpoches have continued to play important roles in Bhutanese society, safeguarding Buddhist teachings and spiritual guidance. They are respected personalities who represent Bhutan's spiritual legacy and cultural identity. Their leadership has continued to influence Bhutan's religious, cultural, and political environment to this day.
