Source: Mandala Texts: Yullha and Zhidak: Two Types of Local DeitiesDre (འདྲེ་) refers to a type of invisible spiritual beings.—The Bhutanese believe in the presence of powerful invisible forces of nature alongside visible humans, animals, birds and insects. In the Bhutanese worldview, which was received from Pre-Buddhist belief systems and reinforced by the Buddhist religion, the world is teeming with many types of sentient beings. People believe in a wide range of invisible spiritual beings including lha (ལྷ་), dud (བདུད་), tsen (བཙན་), gyalpo (རྒྱལ་པོ་), lu (ཀླུ་), ludud (ཀླུ་བདུད་), mamo (མ་མོ་), damsri (དམ་སྲི་), dre (འདྲེ་), srinpo (སྲིན་པོ་), sondre (གསོན་འདྲེ་), shindre (གཤིན་འདྲེ་), tshomen (མཚོ་སྨན་), noejin (གནོད་སྦྱིན་), menmo (སྨན་མོ་), theurang (ཐེའུ་རང་), sadag (ས་བདག་) etc. These beings are said to have different characters, temperaments, powers, habits and existential status.
The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages. Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.
