Buddhism
Buddhists believe that there is no God. They teach that the way to be happy is to live a simple life because “things” only cause suffering. They believe in reincarnation – that after we die we are reborn as a different person or animal.
The Kingdom of Bhutan is located in the Himalayas 
and is one of the most isolated nations in the world. Outside influences are regulated by the government to preserve its traditional Tibetan Buddhist culture. Bhutan is linked historically and culturally with its neighbor, Tibet, and politically and economically with India.
