Breathtaking Monasteries Around the World
via Odee

Tiger's Nest Monastery (Bhutan)


"Taktshang is the most famous of monasteries in Bhutan. It hangs on a cliff at
3,120 metres(10,200 feet), some 700 meters (2,300 feet) above the bottom of Paro
valley. Famous visitors include Ngawang Namgyal in the 17th century and
Milarepa.

The name means "Tiger's nest", the legend being that
Padmasambhava (Guru Rinpoche) flew there on the back of a tiger. The monastery
includes seven temples which can all be visited. The monastery suffered several
blazes and is a recent restoration. Climbing to the monastery is on foot or
mule."





Ngaphechaung Monastery (Burma)



"Ngaphechaung Monastery is located in Inle Lake, on the way to Phaung Daw Oo
Pagoda. This is an attractive wooden monastery built on stilts over the lake at
the end of the 1850s. Aside from its collection of Buddhas the monastery may be
of interest to visit because its monks have taught a few of the many cats living
with them to jump through hoops. 25 minutes boat ride to visit and ancient
monastery built on huge pieces of teak wood with traditional architecture and
see the popular jumping cats leap through the hoops. The monastery is also known
for a collection of old Myanmar's Buddha images from different areas that are
worth seeing. Nga Phe Chaug is the biggest and oldest monastery on the Inle Lake
and is worth visiting for its historical purposes and architecture as well as
its cats."

Considerando que TODOS OS MONGES DO UNIVERSO serão mortos pelos chineses, tu vai levar uma vida bem solitária.
