Second-Storey Room: Block and Man Slathered

second-storey room: Their hands moved quickly, according to Hamilton Spectator. Over and over they went through the same motions, several times each minute One man slathered red or black ink on the block, which was carved with Tibetan words and religious images. Each pair bent over a thin rectangular wooden block and worked by sunlight streaming into the second-storey room open to a courtyard. Then his partner placed a thin piece of white paper atop the block and, bending even lower, ran a roller over it. That bending was an act of prostration to the Buddha, said Pema Chujen, a Tibetan woman who was leading a group of ethnic Han visitors around the monastery. Seconds later, he whipped off the paper and put it aside to dry. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
