We visited the Khumjung Monestary, a small monastery that serves the community. The monks live in the village and come there for rituals and to for celebrations. Here are a few pictures and a video where our guide talks about the different kinds of monasteries.

This is a diety. I'm not sure which one.
Here's our gude, Gyal Jin, talking about different kinds of monasteries. He's a great guy and knows a lot about MANY things!
We'll post more about your questions if we can after we visit the big monastery tomorrow, but don't hold your breath because the technology has beek sketchy and takes a LONG time! Bye!
