A monk stands in front of butter lamps in the Kejia Monastery in Burang County of Ngari Prefecture, southwest China's Tibet Autonomous Region. The Kejia Monastery, close to Nepal and India, is a famous Monastery of Sakya Sect of Tibetan Buddhism. The senior monk Lotsawa Rinchen Sangpo directed the building of the Monastery in 996. The construction of the Monastery is magnificent with a lot of big and small halls for scriptures and marvelous frescos. In 2001, the Kejia Monastery was appraised as the state-level important protection unit of cultural relic. Some 15 million yuan (2.3 million US dollars) were invested to restore the two big halls of the Monastery and the protection work will soon be carried out to mend the frescos. [Photo/Xinhua]
