Bestowing Blessings 

I met this lady at Hemis Gompa which is a secluded Tibetan monastery in the Himalayan hills of Ladakh.
she came with her husband and their new born baby.
We visited several temples and rooms together and we met again later in an old temple where some lamas and priests, in the presence of the oracle, where performing a ceremony.
They asked blessings for their child, it was done with oil and water.
According the Buddhist point of view, this first function is a way to celebrate a great occasion, a human rebirth who has the great potential to do something for others.
They allowed me to take as many pictures I wanted and I even did several videos with my camera.
I didn’t speak much to them but we shared many things with our eyes and many smiles that I might keep in a corner of my mind forever...
