Drukpa Kunley, the Divine Madman

High in the Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan, where mountains guard ancient wisdom, walked Drukpa Kunley—the

Divine Madman. A wandering yogi, he laughed at rigid rules and taught enlightenment through

humor, song, and fearless honesty. While monks debated doctrine,

he spoke to farmers and kings alike, reminding them that truth is lived, not memorized.

His shocking ways were compassionate, his irreverence a mirror for the ego.

Through valleys and monasteries, his legacy spread: that wisdom can dance,

that laughter can liberate, and that awakening often arrives disguised as madness.

In Bhutan, his spirit still echoes—playful, profound, and free.
