Monastic life

My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

Living a simple life is the monastic way of life. I am nowhere as knowledgeable as perhaps most of the general public of what Buddhism and the practice of Dharma are, but what I witnessed when I visited this monastery at the heart of Siem Reap, Cambodia is the simplicity and the gentle nature of the Buddhist nuns. Here, before splitting some wood, a Buddhist nun calmly stood up against a backdrop of ethereal light rays.
