Tibet: In Search of Shangri-La by Michael Yamashita

Description

In this extreme rare glimpse of a medieval kitchen, steam and smoke hide then reveal two monks at Ganze Monastery, the most important in Kham, prepare yak butter tea for the 370 monks living there. Inside the kitchen, yak butter tea including stems and all is mixed with salt. It is highly caloric, which provides energy for long prayer sessions in the cold. This was taken before sunrise.
