Breakfast time at the monastery

In the remote Phuktal monastery, a young monk awaits the arrival of the Masters Lamas to begin serving breakfast. Every morning, at the end of the Puja ritual and before starting the monastic lessons, the young monks prepare the food to be shared all together on the terrace overlooking the valley.
