Description: Bhutan can take pride in the numerous religious masters who have appeared continuously throughout its almost 400 years of recorded history. Whether in the field of Buddhist scholasticism, or in that of esoteric ritualism and devotional liturgy, or in arts and crafts, Drukpa School masters have regularly emerged as outstanding masters, earning great fame and reputation not only within Bhutan but also beyond its borders. One such master is jamgon Ngawang Gyaltshen (1647-1732), a most important religious figure in the history of 17th and 18th century Bhutan.
His life and work was chosen as a research topic under the joint research programme between the National Library of Bhutan and The Royal Library of Denmark within the framework of "Institutional Strengthening of the National Library of Bhutan." The present study remained a work in progress for much longer than its authors would have wished, due in large part to the wide scope of the subject matter and also to the authors' other professional commitments at their respective places of work. Now it is with great pleasure that they present the results of their years of research in this modest book, entitled "Play of the Omniscient.
