Artist's Comments

Deng Der is one of the higher tier monks at the Hong Yuan monastery on his path to enlightenment. Not only has he spent most of his life in Tibetan Buddhist religious pursuits he is also probably the snazziest dresser in their temple village.

Canon 20D, Canon 70-200mm f2.8 IS L lens, 1/500 sec, f2.8, ISO 400

heh snazziest dresser... isnt that some kind of contradiction when it comes to monks ;)

great shot none the less :)
:iconavotius:
absolutely not, many Tibetan monks wine and dine in the finer things, for instance when I went to this temple the head lama had just left on vacation to hong kong, a couple of monks were listening to mp3 players during their prayers, a few have a motorcycle or car, and just about all of them have mobile phones.
