  Je Khenpo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Je Khenpo, formerly called the Dharma Raj by orientalists, is the title given to the highest religious official of Bhutan.
According to the dual system of government established by the Shabdrung in the 17th century, the powers of the government of Bhutan are ideally split between the religious branch, headed by the Je Khenpo, and the administrative branch, headed by the Druk Desi.
In addition to his position as Je Khenpo, he was recognized as the trulku of Nyizergang, the seat of the terton Woogpa Lingpa, in Wangdue Phodrang province.

The Khempo wrapped the mirror in a kata scarf, and tied It to a column near the altar.

 Shabdrung - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Shabdrung Ngawang Namgyal initiated many important Bhutanese customs including the system of dual government by which power was shared between an administrative leader, the Druk Desi, and a religious leader, the Je Khempo.
It has been suggested that the Druk Desi and Je Khenpo devised a practical solution, as the Shabdrung was indeed reincarnated, but not as a single person, but as three separate persons -- a body incarnation, a mind incarnation, and a speech incarnation.
Despite their efforts at maintaining the power established by the original Shabdrung, the country sank into warring factionalism for the next 200 years.

This struggle ended in 1907 with the formal separation of the church and the state and the establishment of a system of hereditary monarchy led by King Ugyen Wangchuk.
It was agreed that the king would be the sole person responsible for all matters concerning the administration of the state, but that the head of the Church (known as Je Khempo) would become an apolitical spiritual leader; both having the same rank in the national protocol.
This is the official residence of the king and the Je Khempo.
