Photographer’s Note

Day X - 8:34 am

Labrang Monastry is surrounded by a kinf of a 3 km wall. On this wall, you find prayer wheels (they are supposed to be 1174 !). And all the day, people walk around the monastry and turn the wheels. An amazing and fascinating experience, full of energy, of faith, of devotion...

And while turning, all the wheels squeak.

This was the songs of the wheels, all over the monastry, all day long... A captivating music I will never forget.



In french, "prayer wheel" is "moulin à prieres". If you translate this litterally, it means "pray mills". I prefer that ! More poetic...
