chop chop chop
in less than two minutes
a buddha appears
chop chop chop
the young monk fashions
a buddha
it was fast. i visited a temple compound in Luang Prabang for less than 10 minutes and saw young monks carving various religious objects. one of them i saw in less than five minutes fashioned a buddha out of wood. he went chop chop chop, turned the wood this way and that way and the buddha almost immediately came into shape. his mastery over the wood and deftness in carving the buddha was amazing..
