Buddhism was introduced to Bhutan in the 7th century CE, primarily attributed to the Tibetan king Songtsen Gampo, who is said to have built the first Buddhist temple in the country. However, it was the Indian monk Padmasambhava, also known as Guru Rinpoche, who played a crucial role in establishing Buddhism more firmly in Bhutan during the 8th century. Over the centuries, Buddhism became the dominant religion and significantly shaped Bhutanese culture and society.
