An old monk

Nyaungshwe

I wandered off the main complex at the Shweyanpyay monastery to find myself in the front of a small structure on the side. A few older women inside waved me in and I walked in. In front of the room there was this old monk sitting while several older people were kneeling in front of him. I did the same and after a while I pointed to my camera and gestured that I would like to take pictures of the old monk. Everybody nodded;; so, I went ahead and did that. This old monk, probably the oldest person in the complex slept in the area behind the curtain. Apparently, he talked and gave advise to these folks that try to get his wisdom in life from him.
