Monks at Palcho Monastery, Gyantse. The idea of Buddhist monks holding mobile phones so ostentatiously seems strange to me. It's like they're taking photos of us! Aren't we the tourists around here???

Buddhist Monks releasing birds next to Zhi Mountain (Zhishan) Cultural and Ecological Garden, Taipei, Taiwan
In East Asian Buddhism and particularly in China, the release of animals, particularly birds or fish, into their natural environment became an important way of demonstrating Buddhist piety. In China it was known as fang sheng. This practice is based on a passage in the Mahāyāna Sūtra of Brahma's Net (Ch: Fanwang Jing), which states that "...all the beings in the six paths of existence are my parents. If I should kill and eat them, it is the same as killing my own parents. ... Since to be reborn into one existence after another is the permanent and unalterable law, we should teach people to release sentient beings." In the later Ming dynasty, societies "for releasing life" were created, which built ponds in which to release fish that were redeemed from fishermen for this purpose. They also bought other animals which were sold in the markets and released them.

Young Buddhist monks enjoying a day in this island's wonderful nature
Here's a monk praying outside of Phuoc Loc Tho Asian Mall. At first I wasn't sure if he was a statue or not, because he was pretty still, but then I came closer and saw that he was sweating a river.
