I am a buddhist for many years now, my root lama is Goshir Gyaltsab Rinpoche. I also studied for two years under Kyabje Bokar Rinpoche until his death. I am going once or twice a year for teachings and study to Ralang, usually for two months a time.

I started to make pictures of the monastery, the monks, nuns and other people living around the monastery. This year I also started to make pictures of the butterflies around the monastery as there is an abundance of those. Also other animals and flowers have my interest.

I wish you a happy day and lots of fun.

P.S. What does "open" mean?
