In BHUTAN, Land of the Thunder Dragon, happiness is a way of life.
Per legend:
Drupka Kuenly was a buddhist monk known as “The Madman of the Dragon Lineage”. In Tibet, in the year of 1499, he shot an arrow from his bow which landed in Bhutan. Following his intuition and his arrow, he landed in Bhutan and proclaimed himself as a buddhist Lama. “During one of his religious lectures, he was requested by the people of Bhutan to conjure a miracle before them. The saint agreed to do so provided he was fed for lunch, a whole cow and a whole goat. Once served, he devoured the food of both animals and left out the bones. He then took out the head of the goat and fixed it to the skeleton of the cow and uttered abracadabra and the magic worked. With a snap, he created a live animal, which had the head of the goat and the body of the cow. The animal sprang up and moved on to the meadows to graze. The animal was then given the name Dong Gyem Tsey (Takin). Since then this animal has been a common sight in the hills of Bhutan. Because of this magical creation with high religious connotation, the animal has been adopted as the National Animal of Bhutan.”
