Meet a Buddhist Nun

In Luangprabang I met a Buddhist nun. I went to meditate with the monks as was my routine each day at 5:30. On this day after all the monks rose to leave the temple, I noticed she was still on the floor.
I reached down to lift her up and realized that none of the men helped her get up because the monks aren't allowed to touch women.

So, for years she has been getting up off the floor with ease...but on this very day I was lucky enough to help her. She was actually smiling just moments before I took this image.
