A monk doing Keresansui as viewed from inside a Shokubu. Karesansui is the Japanese art of sand drawing that uses raked gravel or sand to represent water. A Shokubu is a temple lodging that allows visitors to stay overnight. The stay gives visitors a chance to observe the early morning meditation of the monks and partake on their typical diet as well.
Shot in the wonderful dormitory of Santa Maria Monastery, Alcobaca, Portugal. I could never get enough of these butterscotch tones.... enjoy!
"Santa Maria is a Roman Catholic church located in the town of Alcobaça, in Oeste Subregion. The monastery was founded in the medieval period by the first Portuguese King, Afonso Henriques, in 1153, and maintained a close association with the Kings of Portugal throughout its history.
The church and monastery were the first Gothic buildings in Portugal, and, together with the Monastery of Santa Cruz in Coimbra, it was one of the most important of the mediaeval monasteries in Portugal. Due to its artistic and historical importance, it was listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site in 1989."
Every Buddhist boy in Myanmar (Burma) between the age of 7 and 13 is expected to enter the monastery as a novice monk for a period of a few weeks to several months.
Young novices are allowed to play football, watching TV, playing video games and having fun. On the other hand, the life of the monks can be very tough: sleeping in a dormitory, waking up very early, washing with cold water, studying a lot and always strict discipline.

At Sera Monastery, Lhasa.
Sera Monastery, "Wild Roses Monastery" is one of the "great three" Gelug university monasteries of Tibet, located 2.01 km north of Lhasa and about 5 km3 north of the Jokhang. The other two are Ganden Monastery and Drepung Monastery. The origin of its name is attributed to a fact that the site where the monastery was built was surrounded by wild roses in bloom.
The original Sera Monastery is responsible for some 19 hermitages, including four nunneries, which are all located in the foot hills north of Lhasa.
The Sera Monastery was founded in 1419 by Jamchen Chojey of Sakya Yeshe of Zel Gungtang (1355–1435), a disciple of Je Tsongkhapa.
During the 1959 revolt in Lhasa, Sera monastery suffered severe damage, with its colleges destroyed and hundreds of monks killed. After the Dalai Lama took asylum in India, many of the monks of Sera who survived the attack moved to Bylakuppe in Mysore, India.
Sera Monastery in Tibet and its counterpart in Mysore, India are noted for their debate sessions.

The temple is 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) from the city of Chiang Mai. From the temple, impressive views of Chiang Mai can be seen.

The Monlam (aspiration prayer) ceremonies are held at the end of the Tibetan year (January) each year in the Mahabodhi temple in Bodhgaya, India. Even in January, the Indian sun is pretty intense, and the monks sit outdoors for hours during these ceremonies, so some of the young ones take the opportunity to be cool by wearing their sunglasses.
Tibetan Buddhist monks see Boudhanath Stupa, Kathmandu, Nepal, as an important place of pilgrimage and worship. They sit for hours chanting prayers.

I have very weird conversation with this monk during my visit to Wat Wisunarat. I just don't know why he start the conversation with me while there were some of the tourists over there and he just choose me for a talk. First he speak English with me later asked me where I came from and later ask me how many language I could speak. Later we use Mandarin in conversation. He said he was study Chinese Language and he was listening chinese song from his handphone. Later the subject conversation were being kinda weird, he just told me don't be feels sad because I surrounded by light of Buddha. Buddha always watch over me. Then I said thank you and I left.
Anyway, that moment I didn't feels sad and also not Buddhism believer. I just feel thankful for his blessing and our conversation was not privately because some of the visitors also taking our picture. Later I just found out that he one of the head of monks in Wat Wisunarat monastery ? oopppsss...
