Aksel loved the prayer wheels. He got some help spinning the huge prayer wheel.






A guardian spirit called a lu.




Even monks have to do laundry. Chop wood, carry water, is said to be one way to enlightenment.

Enlightenment = builds character. However, it's still a bit easy to just throw laundry into washer instead of the old country's way of washing clothes by hand and the wring them through the rolling machine.
