Photographer captures online shopping trend in China

Gyatsoling Rinpoche, chosen up as the reincarnation of the Living Buddha when he was four, gets both a standard and Tibetan Buddhist education. Graduating from the Tibet Medical College at the age of 17, he is now the youngest teacher in the college. He started shopping online in 2014, and only buys Buddhism goods from the Internet, such as butter lamps and candles. Those goods are quite consuming in the temple, and the goods sold online are cheaper compared with those sold in the local stores. To him, online shopping is a way to cut down expenses, but to most Lamas, online shopping is still a thing beyond imagination.[Photo by Huang Qingjun/photoint.net]
