Tibetan monks life
Wandering in these ancient monasteries, one can only be fascinated and intrigued by their magic; you are filled with a sense of wonder, mystery and serenity, which are the protagonists in an experience of profound spirituality and mysticism.
The prayers and mantras, repeated daily by the monks, form a fundamental part of Tibetan Buddhism and of daily life at the monastery. And there is silence. Yet when the lamas conduct puja (worship), there is an amazing mix of sounds that fills the gompa.
The older monks sing the mantras softly, but occasionally the voices rise to a crescendo, and there is an explosion of music amid clashing cymbals, tinkling bells, blasting drums and long trumpets.

entry description
Far from commonplace, on the remote ridges of the Indian Himalayan mountain range, live the Tibetan monks.Wandering in these ancient monasteries, one can only be fascinated and intrigued by their magic; you are filled with a sense of wonder, mystery and serenity, which are the protagonists in an experience of profound spirituality and mysticism.
The prayers and mantras, repeated daily by the monks, form a fundamental part of Tibetan Buddhism and of daily life at the monastery. And there is silence. Yet when the lamas conduct puja (worship), there is an amazing mix of sounds that fills the gompa.
The older monks sing the mantras softly, but occasionally the voices rise to a crescendo, and there is an explosion of music amid clashing cymbals, tinkling bells, blasting drums and long trumpets.
Looking up instead, you come across stupas, the religious monuments in which the relics are kept.
A unique journey, to get to the heart of the profound Buddhist spirituality.
