Human Element






Burning insense in homage to Budda.


A monk bowing in the main square of the temple.


A child wearing a blond wig doing the same inside the main temple. She was particularly entertaining and happily comfortable running around the larger than life sculpture of Budda.


The most interesting monk. We asked if he had wisdom he wished to pass to us young men and he curtly told us he was not a teacher. I was hoping for more. I will try to ask this question again the next time I am at a monestary.


Human influence is everywhere. (sadly in some cases)
