Lighting Incense at the Buddha Llamasary in Beijing

At the Buddha Llamasary, like many temples, you can purchase incense to burn as an offering.  Here I joined numerous people who knelt in prayer to the Buddha.

Lighting the incense was tricky, as was trying to get the flame down to just smoke.  It was like one of those trick birthday candles that won't blow out! Below is the video of me trying to stay serious as my incense keeps reigniting. Watching it now I laugh through the whole thing because of that! So much for a serene and pious moment, I guess ;)
