The other day we stumbled upon a basketball court hidden among the mud brick walls of a Tibetan Buddhist College. The monks who were playing at that time invited me to join in, but I really didn't have time at that moment. Today we went back just before dinnertime to watch and see if they would be playing. Not only were they playing, but there were dozens more monks all watching a full-on monk vs. monk basketball game! They are actually pretty good, especially considering that they are playing in their traditional monk robes!

Please pray for this Tibetan Buddhist College. It is one of the places where we are going to focusย a lot of our time and energy in this region.ย A number of the students are learning English as well and it looks very much like we will be able to make inroads through these young monks.
