ENTRY DESCRIPTION
Photographed at a Monastery in a Tibetan part of China in May of 1993. The monks sat closely in the cold as one of their revered teachers walked by stopping to chat and teach. Two years later, when I returned, I brought them copies of this image. Little to my knowledge the revered teacher had passed; the monks were so grateful to have the image reminding them of his legacy.
