Fading Light
Yuen Hung Neoh, Singapore
The world’s largest Buddhist academy is located in a remote place in Sertar County, China, named Larung Gar. People from all over China come here to study Buddhism. However, it is a controversial place: nuns and monks have suffered oppression and imprisonment, and in June 2016 the authorities imposed new rules, which put thousands of residents at risk of removal. These residents have not been given the chance to practise their religion in peace. If the oppression continues, this unique place will eventually fade from history.
