una mañana cualquiera para los monjes budistas. Recibiendo donaciones de sus conciudadanos. Para ello hay que descalzarse.
Reciben tanta que hay voluntarios que les ayudan a vaciar sus vasijas (en las que deben recibir la comida) para poder pedir mas.
Descansando en un templo a unos kilómetros de LuamPrabang vinieron estos novicios a curiosear con el falang. Yo leía la Iliada y se mostraron muy curiosos por el libro, que les dije que era nuestro Ramayana, para entendernos. Se pusieron en esta pose que parece preparada y no dudé en tirarles la foto.

Taking a rest in a temple close to LuamPrabang this novices came to talk to me. I was reading the Iliad from Homero and they asked what it was about. I told him it was an epic romance very important for westerns like the Ramayana can be for asians.

Edward Roseberry Monk
1851 – 1924
Edward R. Monk started life in Ohio in 1851 and completed his education in law in Michigan where he was admitted to the bar in 1876. Failing health caused him to move with his brothers Will and J.A. to Arizona in 1882. Originally, they planned to invest in mines but decided the cattle industry would be more lucrative. The Monk Ranch, with the cattle branded MOK, was established near Willcox with cattle purchased from John Slaughter of the famous San Bernardino Ranch. It is still in operation by his descendants today.
In addition to ranching Monk practiced law in Willcox from his office on Maley Street near the train depot. He served as probate judge in Tombstone from 1886 to 1890. In December 1893, he was appointed Receiver of the Tucson land office, and in 1895, to the Board of Regents at the University of Arizona. Judge Monk also served as a member of the Civil Service Examining Board of Arizona, first for postal employees and then Indian service.
Judge Monk was one of a group of cattlemen who approached the Territorial Legislature and helped convince them to form the Arizona Rangers. On October 12, 1903, at the Elks Club Building in Tucson, this same group of about 40 cattlemen met and formed the Arizona Cattle Growers' Association. Monk was elected the first president.
Monk never married. He spent the last years of his life in Los Angeles where he continued to practice law until his death in 1924.

Former police detective Adrian Monk (Tony Shalhoub) has suffered from intensified obsessive- compulsive disorder and a variety of phobias since the murder of his wife, Trudy, in 1997. Despite his photographic memory and his amazing ability to piece tiny clues together, he is now on psychiatric leave from the San Francisco Police Department. Aided by his friend and practical nurse, Sharona Fleming (Bitty Schram), Monk works as a freelance detective/consultant, hoping to convince his former boss, Captain Stottlemeyer (Ted Levine), to allow him to return to the force. Stottlemeyer wavers between admiration for Monk and annoyance at his eccentricities. Moreover, he harbors serious doubts about the wisdom of allowing Monk to carry a gun. Stottlemeyer's second-in-command, Lieutenant Disher (Jason Gray-Stanford), also has his doubts about Monk but seems to be developing a reluctant admiration for the "defective detective...

At dawn hundreds of monks and novices emerge from the monasteries of Loikaw to collect alms among the pious Buddhists of the town.
No this isn't a bird you would typically find visiting your back yard feeder in North Texas ~ however if you happen to live south of Fort Worth near the intersection of Boyce and 6th Avenue or near White Rock lake in Dallas ~ it might be more common than you think.
Monk Parakeets (Myiopsitta monachus) are a native of temperate South America. The average adult size is 11.5" (bill to tail, tip to tip) and both sexes have bright green backs, dark blue under wings and extensive gray on the face and breast. Considerable numbers of Monk Parakeet were imported to the United States in the late 1960s as pets. Many escaped or were intentionally released, and populations were allowed to proliferate. By the early 1970s, M. monachus was established in seven states, and by 1995 it had spread to eight more. There are now thought to be approximately 100,000 in Florida alone.
The Fort Worth colony began with a single pair in 1985. Now several dozen large, bright green, pointed-tailed parakeets live in giant stick nests, resembling bird condos, in several trees near the original location. The Monk Parakeet is the only parrot that builds a stick nest, in a tree or on a man-made structure, rather than using a hole in a tree. They often breed colonially, building a single large nest with separate entrances for each pair. In the wild, the colonies can become quite large, with pairs occupying separate "apartments" in nests that can reach the size of a small automobile.
