Photo by @pedromcbride // Bhutanese monks perform a festive cham dance, a lively masked and costumed display, amidst the roar of traditional Buddhist symbols and horns. The steps are never written down, only passed orally through generations of monks. The dances often give moral instruction relating to compassion, offering merit to all who perceive them. #followme @pedromcbride for more stories from adventures around the world.
