EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot, two young Buddhist novices take a break from their spiritual journey to indulge in some playful competition. Seated cross-legged on the floor of Vat Sensoukharam, one of Laos' most revered monasteries, these enthusiastic monks-in-training engage in an age-old board game that transcends cultural boundaries. With serene smiles adorning their faces, these spirited souls demonstrate that even within the walls of a sacred sanctuary, laughter and camaraderie can thrive. As they move their pieces strategically across the board, it becomes clear that enlightenment isn't solely found through meditation but also through moments of lightheartedness. The vibrant colors of their robes mirror the vibrancy with which they approach life's simple pleasures. Their youthful energy reminds us all to embrace our inner child and find joy amidst our daily routines. In this harmonious scene where spirituality meets recreation, time seems to stand still as these young novices create memories that will last a lifetime. Capturing both tradition and modernity in a single frame, this photograph serves as a gentle reminder that Buddhism is not only about solemn rituals but also about fostering connections and finding balance between mind, body, and spirit. So let us celebrate these radiant souls who remind us to seek happiness wherever we may be – whether it's within ancient monastic walls or around a humble board game table!
