Inside South Korea’s Little Buddha Camp – photos

FACES of the Day: A South Korean Buddhist monk shaves the head of Hye Oh during a service to celebrate Buddha’s upcoming birthday at Jogye temple in Seoul, South Korea. Hye is one of the nine children who entered the temple to experience a monks’ life for three weeks, called Little Buddha Camp. (Think of it as a cheap holiday.) The lads went to meet a lion cub at the Everland amusement park in Yongin, west of Seoul. Great days. Do you think themed religious holiday camps could catch on in the UK?
