Xiahe, China, 2010-2012

"Enlightenment" - the triangle just above the head of the monk who is walking by is the visual metaphor for " enlightenment"!

Following the monk - he has a side-step.

This monk is a sturdy presence!
Monks cast off their shoes before entering the temple. At this altitude, it must make for some cold feet! 
The altitude at Xiahe is a little over 7,000 feet.
Overview of Xiahe
Here are the "Abbots" - they appeared one day and generated much discussion amongst we novices!
This monk became my favorite! He guided me around.
Here is a portion of the temples - stacked up against the mountains.
A very young lad!
