some pics of kumbum monastery

the courtyard in front of one of the main temples at kumbum monastery.


a monk i met at kumbum monastery. he is hard at work explaining to me the intricacies of monkhood over a cup of tibetan tea.


a nice tibetan door at kumbum monastery.



my friend and his childhood friend, the monk, catch up on old times.


i've never seen anything quite like this before. it's a satalite dish that has been covered over with mirrors in order to heat water for tea. i guess it's the chinese version of sun tea.
