A wall of reverence

This is the mani wall right across the dirt road from my inn. The monks carve they words "ohm mani padmi ohm" into stones, then pile the stones into a wall that extends to a stupa. It seems that the daily lives of all the people here, not just the monks, are imbued with a sense of beauty and the sacredness of life. Their religion is not separate from their lives. With color, with stone, with fire, with right speech they make their way from one day to another, intentionally.
