@lars3939 Considered that the Chinese take pictures of everything and are fascinated by the smallest most simple of things, this really isnt uncommon and it would actually be rather expected. They come here and take pictures of telephone poles and big macs. Why wouldnt we go there and take pictures of monks from one of the oldest philosophies on earth chanting.. And Buddhism is not under definition a religion. There is no worship involved.
