Buddhist Nun, Cambodia

Khmer.Bayon.nun.72.jpg

"A Buddhist Nun in Bayon Temple" ©2001 Elroy Christenson

This Buddhist nun tends an altar in the Bayon Temple complex for tourists. Various nuns have set up altars here. They are typically widows who are providing pray services to visitors besides gaining a few coins that support them or their temple nearby. In Buddhism, women can become nuns at any age and widows who have raised their families are likely candidates due to lack of family or social support and accompanying poverty.
