Monastary in Kagbeni

The building on the right is almost 600 years old. Tiny birds nest in the holes in the wall.

The one on the left is still under construction.

John is playing with his camera. And I learned the correct way to show respect to the Buddha when entering the "place where God lives" which is the literal translation for the space where monks actually pray.

The monks create sculpture out of butter, mixed with dyes and something to give it more texture. I couldn't tell what, but the creations are fascinating.

And last is the daily schedule for the monks in school (the younger ones are considered monks even though they are still children).
