Lama

Tibet, Ron Pu monastery

The Lama, spiritual authority of the monastery. Voices and music from the other monks and nuns spin in harmony around him, following the rhythm given by his cymbals.

In the room aside, open to the courtyard and summits around, another monk, alone, recitates prayers, lifted by a monotonal melody.

In front of him, three heaps of clothes, each one topped by a ceremonial tibetan hat. The most beautiful clothes of three men.

Ceremony following their funeral, which took place a week before, after they lost their lives, struck by lightning in the neighboring heights.
