  1. I love how unexpected many of these photos are - not what you would imagine a monk doing! The first image is priceless!

  2. This has just reminded me that I should be doing my meditation and not be sitting in front of my screen ;-)
    So I shall away and be back later.

  5. Elizabeth,
    Thank you for the glimpses of Rato Khyongla and his world. Living now in Mexico, it's like cool water in the desert.
