Took in Wat Phra Sing. A young monk was sitting beneath the big bell. Pondering, worried and confused. It's like isolated by his classmates and tried to get out of the situation. In the end, Monks are not so inner peaceful as I thought. We are all human beings. And we all just need to practice how to deal with mental emotion... everyday.
His eyes had some questions & they still haunt me. We were privy to the prayers performed at the Leh Thikshey Monastery, in Ladakh. There were quite a few very young children, who were being trained as Buddhist monks there. He could be out playing or studying in a school, but then Ladakh life is a pretty maroon hued one.
Tenerife. Costa del Silencio.

The monk parakeet (Myiopsitta monachus), also known as the Quaker parrot, is a small, bright-green parrot with a greyish breast and greenish-yellow abdomen. In most taxonomies, it is classified as the only member of the genus Myiopsitta. It originates from the temperate to subtropical areas of Argentina and the surrounding countries in South America. Self-sustaining feral populations occur in many places, mainly in North America and Europe.
Burma. Amarapura. Monks waiting for food.

He spoke some English; he told me was 19 and he'd been a monk since he was 8. He's Bhutanese. His parents gave him to the monastery because they couldn't feed him. He's stayed at many monasteries in the Tibetan establishment, in Bhutan and West Bengal, maybe Sikkim.
I asked if he planned to be a monk all his life. He said no, in a year or two when his education was complete he'd return to Bhutan, get a job, get married. It surprised me a little. It's a bit disillusioning, to see all these baby monks and realize it's mostly temporary, like an extreme form of boarding school. But a) everything's temporary, and b) it's good to know that these little boys are given a choice, when they're old enough to choose, whether monastic practice is something they forever *are*, or something they just *do*.
I asked if he meditates, he said no, he wasn't old enough to be taught yet. I recall from my dangerously small knowledge of Tibetan practice that one needs various empowerments, given by a senior priest, before learning certain practices. I guess he hadn't been empowered to sit. Instead he reads sutras, chants, bows, makes butter sculptures, works at the monastery, and studies math, history, and languages. (Maybe Tibetan, Hindi, and English, maybe Nepali if he didn't speak it already.)
Damn it, I didn't write down his name and it's impossible to remember now.
Young Monks in training. Many young boys are sent to monk school, not necessarily to become monks but it is considered a good way to start schooling and coming of age. It teaches good virtues and values.
I went to see my friends new house. We entered through the garage. I had to stop and take a picture of her husbands tools. Why can't my garage look like this?
The 'long siding' from Oakenshaw North Junction, east of Wakefield, to Monk Bretton glassworks, just east of Barnsley, continues in existence only to deliver sand to the glassworks. For most of its length, it follows (on only a single track) the previously four track formation of the North Midland mainline from Chesterfield to Leeds, before diverting for its last half mile or so into the glassworks on a single track formation. Roadworks in the Cudworth/Monk Bretton area have meant that a new bridge has had to be built, hopefully ensuring the survival of the branch - if a bridge has been built it hopefully shows the line has a future. Only about one train a week uses it, unless anybody on here knows differently!
Monks from the centuries-old Gaden Shartse Phukhang Tibetan Monastery are visiting Austin this week and building a Mandala in Austin City Hall.
Monks having a smoke at the only tavern with in miles of any place. We are way out in the middle of no where that is absolutely next to nothing at all.
For the Bin people, look hard, remember where we are....;-)

Monk and Newell were Liverpool based contractors who in 1883 established their brickworks in Ruabon north of the current B5605 Ruabon Road and west of the railway. The 1899 OS map shows 20 kilns and extensive buildings with a chain ginney leading from the adjacent claypit. Thomas Monk died in 1889 and John Newell continued to operate the works. The business had closed by 1917 when the works was requisitioned by the Ministry of Munitions and the lease was sold to Thomas Dugdale Stubbs who sold it on to his own company The North Wales Brick & Tile Co which operated until 1929 manufacturing under the trade name Rubric.
