ON THE ROCKY ROAD OF LIFE

Young Buddhist monks singing in a Fred Pelon documentary called Mantrayana (2007). This is a heartwarming moment from another world, and yes, a comment on the far-reaching influence of western culture to the outermost regions. This is so pure that any commentary would be petty and beside the point. Enjoy this moment, they seem to say. Feel the love. And when you're stuck in a day that's gray and lonely, stick out your chin and grin. The sun will come out tomorrow. Bet your bottom dollar.
