EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Tim Chong, we are transported to the serene world of Pemayangtse Gompa in the Indian Himalayan state of Sikkim. The image showcases a group of novice Buddhist monks as they gather for their morning puja, or prayer session. Their youthful faces reflect a sense of tranquility and devotion as they prepare to embark on their spiritual journey. Pemayangtse Gompa, built in 1705, stands tall as one of Sikkim's oldest and most revered Nyingmapa monasteries. Its name, Perfect Sublime Lotus, perfectly encapsulates the ethereal beauty that surrounds it. Nestled amidst breathtaking mountainous landscapes, this sacred place holds immense significance for both locals and visitors seeking solace and enlightenment. The photograph captures not only the physical presence of these young monks but also hints at the profound wisdom that lies within them. As rays of sunlight gently illuminate their peaceful countenances, one cannot help but feel a sense of awe and reverence for their chosen path. Through this image, we are reminded of the enduring power and importance of spirituality in our lives. It serves as a poignant reminder to pause amidst life's chaos and find solace in moments dedicated to inner reflection and connection with something greater than ourselves.
