== '''Phallic Paintings in Bhutan''' == | == '''Religion''' == | ||
The main religion in Bhutan is buddhist. The leading religion order in Bhutan is from the Drukpa lineage, which means they have kungfu nuns. The Good News Network did an article about them.[11] | |||
Also see the video about KungFu Nuns [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6QL0v5wLxKM here] | |||

=== '''Phallic Paintings in Bhutan''' === | |||
In the 15th and 16th century, Bhutan was visited by a Buddhist saint “Drukpa Kuenley”, after hearing about the good wine and beautiful women in the south of Tibet. The unorthodox method of Saint got him many names, some refer to him as the Divine Madman. There are phallic paintings on some houses in Bhutan because of him.

== '''Bhutan Wine Company''' == | |||
Although peach wine has a following, the Bhutanese people are not familiar with grape wines. The sloping mountainside make for excellent conditions, so the Bhutan Wine Company was started by Michael Juergens in 2019, and its first harvest will be in the fall of 2020, hopefully under the Thunder Dragon label.<sup>[13]</sup> | |||
