Monklings
So the Monklings, what can I say about them other than, "wow I thought my little brother was wild." We recently stayed at a monastery at the end of our "baby trek" and it had everything a Buddhist monastery should have--prayer wheels, art, architecture, a giant Buddha. It had everything save for monks. For the day and a half we were there we saw little else but a herd of 5-15 year old monklings while the full fledged monks were off doing pujas in other villages. The monklings walked, talked, cooked and debated just like their larger counterparts, the only difference was that most of them were no taller than my waist.
