Prayer Wheel

There are well over 1,000 prayer wheels along the pilgrim route or kora of nearly 3 miles around the Monastery. Here you see two of them.

Main Hall in Smoke: Monastery

Viveza2 helped define the smoke using "structure".

Faces: Monastery

A traditional teaching/debate stance.

Succesive Prostrations: Another View

You see them on the right. I would estimate it would take about 4 times as long to complete the circumambulation this way.

Pilgrimage Via Successive Prostrations

This is the beginning of the Kora circumambulation around the Monastery. Some pilgrims prostrate themselves succesively around the 3 kilometer route. You see them to the left. On the right, you see pilgrims making the circumambulation in the normal way.

Devotion

There is a prayer area as you go from the village towards the Monastery on the road past the monk's cells.
