Le délassement des moines.

Jakar. Central Bhutan.

Les moines ordonnés sont appelés « Gelong ». Ils vivent dans les dzongs où ils sont placés dès l’âge de cinq ans. Cela confère un grand prestige à leur famille. La formation monastique est très stricte et longue. Elle peut conduire à des études supérieures de théologie ou vers des filières artistiques (musicien, peintre, danseur…).
