Main temple at Shechen Monastery

Main temple at Shechen Monastery

The entrance of the Shechen Monastery in Bodnath close to Kathmandu. This beautiful and peaceful monastery is home to famous French Buddhist Monk Matthieu Ricard that I find very inspiring. He gave a talk at TED and a talk in Google that I recommend watching! He's also the official French translator of the Dalai Lama and has written several books. Finally, he's a fantastic photographer!
