Prayer flags in the trees from my balcony.

The monks were unfolding and showing the man in the suit some highly decorated items (???).

Cell phones have taken over our lives.  Even the monks here have them!!!!!!!!

Monks were everywhere, but this was the only nun I saw, and she was circumnavigating repeatedly.

The one room/altar where photos were permitted.

I turned each one and said my own prayer.

The steps leading to the main area.  Ha Ha, I was assured that there were only a few steps.

The view of the temple complex from my balcony.

Once inside there are monkeys, and this one found a gold mine.

I had a wonderful/emotional afternoon at the Dalai Lama's main temple complex.  I only have a few photos to show and words (at least mine) could never do justice to this place. I was so reluctant to take many photos because everyone there was on a serious spiritual journey.  Far be it for me to intrude.  I will try to follow up with my experience here at a later date.  For now just a few photos.
