Image description

A man burns joss (luck) sticks at Po Lin Monastery, the home of the largest outdoor seated bronze Buddha in the world, on Hong Kong's mountainous Lantau island. Buddhists and Taoists come in droves to more than 500 monasteries and temples throughout Hong Kong every day to pray, burn joss sticks and worship their ancestors. While many Po Lin monks are busy seeking Nirvana, a heightened state of awareness in which suffering is overcome by the shedding of desires, tourists seem happy with a glimpse of the Buddhas face, which is often hidden in thick shrouds of mist. Picture taken 21JUN97. HONGKONG
