Buddhist temples, monasteries and monks.

During the Cultural Revolution many of the Buddhist temples and monasteries in China were destroyed or badly damaged.  Today there is a massive resurgence of the religion.  Most if not all of the holy sites have been restored or are being restored.

To visit all of the temples and monasteries you would need two lifetimes.  No doubt we will see a lot more as we progress further into the 'Tibetan Cultural' area.

What I found interesting was the people in and around these places of worship.
