Dhammakaya Buddhist Monk Retreat – Chilli Banana, Bramhall

Yesterday I shot an awesome event that was unusual and exciting in equal measures. I headed down to Chilli Banana in Bramhall to photograph young trainee Buddhist Monks from Dhammakaya Temple. It was an awesome event filled with chanting and lots and lots of food. I found it really interesting talking to the young monks about their experience and learning about some of the traditions they are currently following…
