Bank notes left as an offering on one of the walls of the Ganden monastery. Unfortunately this monastery was completely destroyed during the Cultural Revolution and today the Tibetans have been able to restore only a few of the buildings and meditation rooms from the original monastic complex which once housed six thousand monks. At the moment two hundred monks live here. Lhasa, Tibet, China, 2007.
