EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by David Gray, a Tibetan monk is seen deep in prayer inside the tranquil courtyard of the Namo Monastery. The monastery, which has stood for over 1,100 years, serves as a sacred space for spiritual reflection and devotion. The image was taken during a poignant prayer service held to commemorate the Tibetan New Year in Kangding, Sichuan province on February 25th, 2009. It was an especially significant occasion as Tibet's exiled spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, addressed his fellow countrymen urging them not to be provoked by any potential Chinese military crackdown coinciding with their New Year celebrations. As this year marked the 50th anniversary of his exile from Tibet, the Dalai Lama expressed concerns about an increasing presence of Chinese military forces in Tibet. Despite these tensions and uncertainties surrounding their future under Chinese rule, this photograph captures a moment of serenity and unwavering faith within the walls of Namo Monastery. The image stands as a testament to both the resilience and peaceful resistance demonstrated by Tibetan monks amidst political turmoil. Through their prayers and devotion, they seek solace and strength while upholding centuries-old traditions that have shaped their cultural identity. This powerful visual narrative reminds us of the enduring spirit that continues to thrive within religious communities despite external challenges they may face.
