A Tibetan Buddhist prostrates himself in

A Tibetan Buddhist prostrates himself in prayer while making his clockwise circular trek around the Kumbum Monastery outside of Xining on February 7, 2009 in northwest China's Qinghai province on the Tibetan plateau. The Kumbum monastery was established in 1650 to mark the birthplace of Tsongkapa, founder of the Geluk (Yellow Hat) sect, and is one of the six largest Geluk (Yellow Hat) monasteries in Tibetan Buddhism, a body of religious Buddhist doctrine and institutions characteristic of Tibet and certain regions in the Himalayas, including northern Nepal, Bhutan, India (Arunachal Pradesh, Ladakh and Sikkim) and is also practiced in Mongolia and parts of eastern Russia and northeast China.
