#10 Tuesday’s with David- “Young Monk”



Siem Reap Cambodia is home to many Buddhist and Hindu Temples dating back to the 12th century. Bayon Temple is set in the middle of Angkor Thom and features around 50 stone towers with intricate carvings of the 4 faces of Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara on many of them.


Young Buddhist monks in Cambodia live in wats, which contain residences for eating and for classes.It’s a very regimented lifestyle with many rules, requiring a wholehearted commitment to following the path of mindfulness. This young devotee exudes a serenity beyond his years as he stands amongst the ancient ruins of the temple. “Walk as if you are kissing the Earth with your feet” Thich Nhat Hanh.
