The upper part of the monastery gate

Our food servers
The bowls of rice
First contact
A flock of monks (a herd of monks)?
Small bowl of rice into bigger bowl.
A novice monk at the end of the line.
The Dining Hall
The food is better than the old Marriot (Mary-rot)
food service at American University in the 1980s!
I don't scream, you don't scream,
we all don't scream for ice cream
(vow of silence, you know!)
Novice monks
No utensils needed for this monk -- his
hands/fingers were sufficient for eating.
The stray dog strut
Our lunch mirrored their lunch. Most of us
enjoyed most of the food.
Ye Ye tells us what we are eating.
I promptly forget what is what.
The head monk got his position by surprise
wins in the Electoral College. Don't trust
the polls -- they were rigged!
Staffers from Team Ye Ye
The novices
The water ceremony: part of the blessing from the monk.
As you slowly poured the water into the cup, the
cup signified the monastery and the water represented
our donation/good will to the monastery.
Monk dorms with drying laundry.
Our heroes at the gate
of the monastery.
