Freshly shorn

Korean Buddhist monks and nuns have their heads shaved every 15 days. They shave each other's heads, not their own, which signifies the wish to help and support each other. Hair is often used as a metaphor for human illusion (the "weeds of ignorance"), so cutting hair is a symbolic removal of ignorance. [Photo/Agencies]
