Tashilunpo Trainee

Tashilunpo Trainee by Joe Hastings.
Project 365 #136 14/05/07

Driving from Kathmandu to Lhasa, Day 3:

Young monks in training preparing for their evening prayer session at the Tashilunpo Monastary in Shigatse, Tibet. One moment these boys were laughing, joking and fighting, the next, a horn sounded and each and every smile became a fixed look of deep concentration and they began to murmur in unison and shuffle towards the main assembly hall to begin their prayers.

Thanks for all the comments! Funny how the face of some young monk in the middle of Tibet could hold such an appeal in the eyes of people all over the world!
