Tibet monasteries look a little like churches. Instead of Jesus hung on a cross, there are big statues of a man whom Tibetans like very much. They call him « Buddha ».
As in churches, people bring flowers and make burn a kind of small candle we call « butter lamps ».
It burns like a candle but it smells just a little like cheese, says Doudou !
