At Tashilunpo Monastery in Shigatse, Xizang, monk Dunzhu spends his days studying scriptures. In his free time, he unwinds by watching his favorite footballers. For him, learning is a lifelong journey – there is always new wisdom waiting within the monastery. With over 60 temples built across different eras, walking the ancient path feels like stepping through 600 years of history.
