Lama during a Buddhist devotional practices 照片檔

Stongde, Zanskar, India -January, 16, 1982 : The monks of Stongde have moved their devotion to the monastery courtyard, which is warmer outside in the sunshine during the cold winter months than in the unheated temple rooms. Every monk also has a wooden tea bowl with him at the devotions, because tea is served during the breaks between the often long prayer cycles. If necessary, there is also time for a snack, here Tsampa (Barley flour) is handed around on a large metal plate.
