Taktsang Lhamo (Langmusi in Chinese) is a beautiful Tibetan village straddling the Gansu-Sichuan border in east Amdo. It is located in a region whose inhabitants are mostly nomads. Two large monasteries, Sertri and Kirti Gompa, lie in the town, one in eacn province. The town, lying at 3300m, is surrounded by mountains which are covered in snow for most of the year. Taktsang Lhamo offers excellent horse trekking through the grasslands and mountains.

Prayer flags are inscribed with auspicious symbols, invocations, prayers, and mantras. Tibetan Buddhists for centuries have planted these flags outside their homes and places of spiritual practice for the wind to carry the beneficent vibrations across the countryside. Prayer flags are said to bring happiness, long life and prosperity to the flag planter and those in the vicinity. The five colors represent the elements: yellow – earth, green – water, red – fire, white – cloud, blue – sky.
This is the prayer room that our Prayer Team has decorated, with some help from a couple of Sunday School classes.
A prayer wheel is a cylindrical "wheel" on a spindle made from metal, wood, stone, leather, or coarse cotton. Traditionally, the mantra Om Mani Padme Hum is written in Sanskrit on the outside of the wheel. Also sometimes depicted are Dakinis, Protectors and very often the 8 auspicious symbols Ashtamangala. According to the Tibetan Buddhist tradition based on the lineage texts regarding prayer wheels, spinning such a wheel will have much the same meritorious effect as orally reciting the prayers.
The Mani wheel, or the hand prayer wheel, is a cylindrical body mounted on a wooden or metal handle. The cylinder itself is weighted down with a cord or chain allowing it to be spun by a slight rotation of the wrist along with the mantra it contains.

Two novice monks were handling prayer books at the Labrang monastery in Xiahe, in the old historical Tibetan region of Amdo, now part of the chinese region of Gansu.
Faris, our volunteer guide, took us into the old part of the city of Bahrain, where the streets are narrow and lined by local shops. It's here where you can negotiate prices, which he did mercilessly on my behalf... lol. Right after we arrived, a prayer song began to play over the loudspeaker, indicating that it was time for prayer. A practicing Muslim, Faris took us over to the mosque. I asked if I could go in with him. It was not allowed. So we wandered around for the 20 minutes or so that he went in. You can see that they take their sandals off inside the doorway.
This was Bahrain. In Saudi Arabia, the practice of prayer, I think it's six times a day, is practiced even in the malls, where all the stores close during the prayer times. If you're in a restaurant, you can eat, but they won't take your order. If you're in a store, they may let you stay inside, but most will close and lock the doors. From what I observed, most do not actively participate in the prayer time by going to the prayer room, but they just stand around and talk until the bell signifying the end of the prayer time sounds. Then it's business as usual.

Although there were so many tourists around she was still focused on her prayers...also she blended in with all the surroundings...

My God (oh, let me call Thee mine,
Weak, wretched sinner though I be),
My trembling soul would fain be Thine;
My feeble faith still clings to Thee.
(from A prayer, Anne Bronte)
A man showed two of my friends how to pray properly, when we visited a mosque (and therefore wore head scarves).

These are always found at the temples. Also great for testing focus with shooting from the side.
