monks

Posted by e. (New York, NY, United States) on 21 October 2007 in People & Portraits and Portfolio.

On Wednesday, October 17, the 14th Dalai Lama was awarded the Congressional Gold Medal in honor of his efforts for peace, nonviolence, and universal acceptance. The next few photos will be of that event. Go here to start at the beginning.

Many monks turned out for the event to celebrate and honor His Holiness. The Tibetan monks were allowed inside the Capitol to actually attend the awarding, but many monks, such as these, were outside, waiting for a glimpse of their revered figure.

There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle. - Albert Einstein

Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies. - Shawshank Redemption

We walk through our lives so focused on our daily tasks and griefs. It's important to realize that there is always hope, because without fail, there will always be a touch of color - in a hazy shade of winter.
