-===Short biography of Shabdrung Ngawang Namgyal ===
-Shabdrung Ngawang Namgyal [1594-1651], was the reincarnation of the 4th Drukchen ('brug chen), the Omniscient [[Pema Karpo]] ([[kun mkhyen padma dkar po]]). Like all previous Drukchen incarnations, he was born into the royal Gya (rgya) family desended from Lha Nyen and Lha Bum the elder brothers of [[Tsangpa Gyare Yeshe Dorje]]. His father was Mipham Tenpai Nyima (yab chen mi pham bstan pa'i nyi ma) [1567-1619] the son of 'brug chen mi pham chos rgyal and his mother Sonam Pelkyi Butri (bsod nams dpal gyi bu khrid, daughter of the ruler of [[skyid shod]].
-Although he was enthroned as the 18th Abbot of [[Ralung]] ([[rwa lung]]), the first 'brug pa monastery to be established in Tibet, Ngawang Namgyal was compelled to flee Tibet in 1616 in order to escape the persecution of the powerful king of Tsang, a supporter of the [[Karma Kagyu]], who recognized his own nephew, Pagsam Wangpo ([[dpag bsam dbang po]]) (1592-1641) as the 5th Drukchen incarnation.
-Following the prophecy of [[Pema Karpo]], Ngawang Namgyal left for western Bhutan, where the Drukpa Kagyu ([['brug pa bka' brgyud]]) school had already been established, and founded the Cheri Monastery in 1619 in Thimphu valley. In 1629, he founded his first fortress, Simtokha Dzong, near Thimphu. Over his 35 years as the temporal and spiritual ruler of Bhutan, Shabdrung Ngawang Namgyal repelled a series of Tibetan invasions and overcame internal opposition to unify the country for the first time in its history.
-On seven occasions between 1616 and 1679, Tibet launched war against Bhutan, first
-under the Tsangpa king and, after 1642, under the central Gaden Photang ([dga' ldan pho brang]) government newly established by 5th Dalai Lama, Ngawang Lobzang Gyatso ([[ngag dbang blo bzang rgya mtsho]]) [1617-1682].
-So important was the Shabdrung Ngawang Namgyal to the stability of Bhutan during this period that his death was kept secret. In 1651 his closest aids announced that Shabdrung had entered strict retreat - and they continued to maintain that he was "in retreat" like this for more than 50 years issuing edicts in his name until 1705.
