Bhutan takes great
pride in its culture as the last remaining Mahayana Buddhist kingdom.
The culture has served as an effective bulwark in cushioning and
balancing the negative impacts of rapid development and change and has
provided a perspective that has shaped its own particular vision of
development.The preservation of
culture and religion is important in Bhutan, and it remains untouched by
modern trends outside Bhutan. The relevance of culture also lies in the
sense of identity and unity conferred to its people, invaluable in a
small country like Bhutan. Efforts to foster the country's cultural
heritage will also continue to ensure that it is not eroded in the
process of development.
