At the temple of Ankor Wat, the monks are very willing to have a chat, practice their English and learn more about other people. We talked for a while with these guys and learned a lot from them, admireable people! (Most funnny part was when the mobile phone of one of them rang, I didn't expect them to have one....

A monk from Mandalay, Myanmar, smokes in front of his old teak monastery. He had just proudly shown me around the inside of the monastery, and I asked for a portrait at the end and he happily obliged. Not many monks do smoke, except for some in the older generations.
Monks “debating” philosophy at Sera Monastery, Lhasa, Tibet. The debating style is quite physical, though (at least as far as I saw) without actual physical contact. I’m told they essentially work through a script of statement and responses.

Abandoned Abused Street Dogs.
Back Story .........................................
Left early with the scooter/sidecar.
Felt naked with out the camera bag.
A click before the monkey temple I picked up a monk.
He was heading back to the temple with his alms bowl
full of daily food that the local people donate.
He is also the monk that is caring for the 10 puppies that
were dumped here at the monkey temple.
Took him right to the front door of the yellow building where
a bunch of puppies plus one cat were waiting.
Mama was waiting at the head of the driveway that leads
into The Dog Palace. She ran along side the sidecar full of
excitement .
Once the monk was delivered we did a 180 degree turn and
picked up Rocky who had just appeared . So now Rocky Mama
and I are buzzing along straight into Leroy Crew Turf.
Seven resident dogs came running to the boundary line barking
and going crazy until Rocky told them all to stop it right now!
Mama did her detour routine circling around by the big drum
then reappearing where the head monk sits.
A big bag of special food is laid out for The Leroy Crew.
A 10 kilo bag of kibble is passed off to the head monk while
using Thai/English [tinglish] explaining that I'll be back to pick
up Boo Boo at 9AM sharp, they understood.
Mama and I split back to The Dog Palace. Mama is fed as was
BTP and Rocky . Without a camera or book my mind got bored.
So, a broom and dust pan was put to good use around the
bingo room. Finally it was 8:50AM, mounted the Honda 125cc scooter/sidecar and went to get Boo Boo.
Threw a handful of chopped hot dog around to disarm the dogs.
Their little pea brains are now all thinking Cool, more food .... ;-)
The maintenance women grabbed Boo Boo while a collar and
leash are readied .
Poor Boo Boo, he peed his pants an soon found himself in the
sidecar. First 10 minutes he was freaking but my soft voice and
gentle hand calmed him. As we slowly made our way through
the first 6 clicks of jungle road Boo Boo started to adjust.
My hand never left his head and neck all the way to the clinic.
When we turned onto the main road where large trucks whizz
past us at high speed I could feel tension return to his body.
Another 10 minutes and Boo Boo once again calms right down.
Turns out Boo Boo was a good rider but certainly needs a lot
more practice, maybe that can happen in the future.
Pulled into the dog doctors clinic and he started getting edgy
again so I just picked him up and carried him. He weighs 16kilo.
Sat in a blue plastic chair and Boo Boo laid between my feet.
By 11 AM he had been seen by the Dr, blood was drawn and
instructions given.
By Noon o'clock I was home being carefully inspected by 3
more hooligans. Sidecar was really checked over, go figure.
Boo Boo will be picked up around 6PM and returned to the
monkey temple. The maintenance women have been given
a heads up by no#1 and the nuns.
When we arrive they will be waiting for us and Boo Boo will
be in good hands ..... ;-)
There's a chance I'll return tomorrow morning to do a look see.
No guarantee on that but a good effort will be made just to
make sure all is OK.
Thank you for your comments and donations.
Thank You.

Monk Bretton Priory
Originally a monastery under the Cluniac order, Monk Bretton Priory is located in the village of Lundwood, in the borough of Barnsley, England. It was founded in 1154 as the Priory of St. Mary Magdelene of Lund by Adam Fitswane, sited on the Lund, from Old Norse. In the course of time the priory took the name of the nearby village of Bretton to be commonly known as Monk Bretton Priory. The monastery closed on 30 November 1538 during the dissolution, and the site passed into the ownership of the Blithman family. In 1580 the land was again sold to George Talbot, 6th Earl of Shrewsbury who gave the estate to his fourth son Henry on his marriage to Elizabeth Rayner. The site is a Scheduled Ancient Monument and now in the care of English Heritage
Monks in Bologna, Italy, prepare a "Mandala" - a sand image. It can take weeks to create and is then ceremoniously dumped into a river!
Of all the friends I have in Japan, few have displayed quite such a profound change as Koki, who is now a full-fledged Buddhist monk - shaved head and all! He also has one of the most fascinating and colourful biographies of anyone I know in Akita. Koki has competed internationally in tennis and boxing, studied in America and Hong Kong, speaks Japanese, Chinese and English, and is next in line to take over his family's temple.

Monk Bar, the northern gateway to the old city of York, lost its barbican or outer gate, but retains its portcullis. The guardroom on the first floor is now a small museum dedicated to Richard III, regarded as a 'good guy' in York and the north of England!

A group of monks debating in front of main prayer hall of Dachang Lhamo Kirti Monastery.
How do Tibetan buddhist monks debate?
They have a special system of logic, with which they debate each other so they learn to work with the concepts they learned in the classes. So in fact this way they train in logical thinking and exact expression. It takes a while to learn this specific technique of logical reasoning.
They use traditional formal ways to hold a debate: the standing 'attacker' poses a statement and claps his hands, the opponet is sitting, and needs to defend himself with a logical answer. Then the attacker tries to undermine the logic of the defender, or comes up with a new argument.
These debates are usually cause for lots of fun, because it is easy to make mistakes in this very formal debate, but also the monks try to be very creative with their answers.
One of the funny examples of such a debate is:
Does a farmer have a tail?
No, of course not
Does a farmer have a cow, a horse or a dog?
Yes.
Then a farmer has a tail!

A monk unlocks a gate in the Monastery of Saint Bishoy in Wadi El Natrun, Egypt. The Monastery of Saint Bishoy is the most famous Coptic Orthodox monastery. It is located in Wadi El Natrun (the Nitrian Desert), about 100km north and west of Cairo, Egypt. The monastery was founded by Saint Bishoy in the fourth century AD. The monastery has five churches, the main one being named after Saint Bishoy. The other churches are named after the Virgin Mary, Saint Iskhiron, Saint George, and Archangel Michael. The monastery is surrounded by a keep, which was built in the fifth century AD to protect the monastery against the attacks of the Berbers. (Thanks, Wikipedia)
