True story: About 4 years...Submitted by Janet Egan (not verified) on June 24, 2005 - 7:18am.
True story: About 4 years ago I visited the Jokhang temple in Lhasa, the central shrine of Tibetan Buddhism. A group of pilgrims from Hong Kong, led by a saffron-robed monk, entered one of the side chapels for a blessing from the resident monk at the same time that I did. As I approached the resident monk for a blessing, I heard the unmistakable ring tone notes of "Happy Birthday" and turned to see the visiting monk whip his cellphone out of his pocket. So, Tibetan monks do have pockets! » POSTED IN:
