Buddhist Monk Offering Final Rites

November 25, 2011.  Shanxi Taiyuan train station, China.

An elderly man who appears to be sleeping attracts attention after not moving for some time.  Amidst the indifferent hustle of life around him, he had died alone where he sat.  A monk waiting for his train came forward to hold the deceased's hand and pray, offering a final act of compassion.
