In 1959, following a Tibetan uprising against China's occupation, the practice of Buddhism was outlawed, and the Dalai Lama was forced into exile. The Sera Jey Monastery, reestablished near Mysore, India, houses 5,000 Buddhist monks living in exile. This work features photographs that capture daily rituals and sacred ceremonies of this Monastery.
