A lonely monk reading newspaper by the Ruak River in Chiang Saen, Chiang Rai. Chiang Saen has become one of the important gates for Thailand's trades with other countries on the upper part of Mekong River.
It's not often that the monks at the Trappist Monastery in Guimaras allow photo moments like this. The Trappists are Roman Catholic monks who follow the rule of St. Benedict as lived by the monks of Citeuax, France. Prayers and the Divine Office are their primary occupation in addition to making their living by farming and food processing (February 2012).

Please keep in mind:
Burma (Myanmar) is ruled by a military junta. In 1990 Aung San Suu Kyi was elected by the people and imprisoned for the next 20 years after the election by the military.
In 2010 a election was staged to keep the military leaders in their current positions. People are starving and are forced to work.
All the pictures you may see in my stream are very onesided, as it is prohibited to take pictures of the military and the police. Also I just do not take pictures of poor people on the streets and there are a lot of very poor people in Burma.
The Burmese people are the nicest people I ever met and should be supported, even if I don´t really know how.
The country needs support. I posted some links to some international organizations helping Burma.
Burma is NOT the usual travel destination! Even if I am avoided all governement fees as far as possible (partly in long hours of bus travel) I still can´t say that I am sure travelling the country helps the people or should be boycotted as proposed by some people.
The government just moved the capital to Naypyidaw. When I saw it from the bus passing it, I had tears in my eyes seeing how the "Generals" collect the money building fancy buildings and streets around them with people starving. I was so shocked that I did not even took a picture...

and of a smaller German organisation (I met one of the responisbles during my trip)
This is an incomplete list, I´ve also seen www.doctorswithoutborders.org and there are others.
Please help, the burmese people need it.
The monk post for his companion but I also add myself to take this shot too so the monk just looked at me as well.
Within the gray tone color of carved stone in Ta Phrom Castle, I see the monk was so outstanding with the color orange and green. Eye-catching
Ta Phrom castel is famous for tbeing the scene in movie" Thomb Raider" and "Indiana Jones".

DBS class 66 no 66 115 seems rather to dwarf the bridge over Mill Lane immediately south of Monks Risborough station. It is heading 6A58, the morning Calvert-Northolt binliner empties.

These are the ruins of one of the oldest universities in the world built in the 5th century CE. Monks from all over the word came and stayed in this residential school, including the most famous Xuan Zhang from China who documented his travel (backpacking) of 32 years to this place and back.
I'm a big fan of the idea of selflessness, a journey in life that takes finding ones self as well, the meaning or having reason through Zen. I wanted to do a project that's not just appealing but also have sensible meaning. The perfect representation of my outlook to good living is in the mind of a Buddhist monk. I took a few yards of three separate fabrics and taught myself through YouTube to wrap a traditional Buddhist monks robe. I had to imply to my model no coffee, soda, or any type of hyper inducing beverage as to assure the feeling of peace and calm in the moment. I adore the lifestyle so I incorporate the way of thinking in small ways into my crazy and uncertain life. I hope with the rubix cube my vision pulled together the lifestyle of a Buddhist monk and perfectly represent process, time, patience, and enlightenment. I hope it embodies all these things and more.
The robe was a total of three pieces and no he wasn't commando. The photo was actually taken on top of a bed. I didn't seem to ask how tall he was at first but good thing the night before I had snapped into realization he was taller than me. The whole time I've been using my own measurement thinking we were the same height. So that morning I made a run to the fabric store just to make sure he wasn't going to be sporting a skirt! I knew it would work either way cause I knew he was going to be sitting down. At the end of it he was a really easy model to work with. Well since the idea was not a lot to process and was straight forward. I was a little nervous because of the shoot was going to be done while the house looked not at its best. I looked like I was up all night also. My model looked great and that's all that matters!
There should be more than one tutorial video on YouTube that shows how a monk dresses.
One of the most serene and beautiful places on earth, the Angkor Wat temple is home to a number of itinerant Buddhist monks.
Buddhist Monks at Lumbini (04-06-2011) -
Our first visit in Nepal was to Lumbini, the birthplace of Buddha. The place was opened (or re-opened) in 2003 for public. It attracts many Buddhist from all over the world. In the photo a group from Vietnam was visiting the place and meeting the monks!
