Inside Gyantze monastery temple
People come from all over Tibet to the various monastery temples, some of them prostrating themselves all the way. Once there, they break up what little money they have into banknotes worth a fraction of a cent, which they then distribute at the feet of the various effigies as they mumble prayers and spin handheld prayer wheels in the hopes of a better deal next life. The older the person, the more constant the mumbling and the more frantic the spinning.
