This interesting photo of Malaysian Buddhist monks was taken by photographer Wong Yu Liang and is one of the entries in the Sony World Photography Awards. The full size image can be seen at the Daily Mail.

The gun in the photo looks to be a BB firing toy gun.

I have blogged about Buddists and guns. Contra to popular perception in the West, many Buddists are not opposed to them, when necessary, occasionally even hiding them in monasteries when they are banned by local law. A number of gun lovin’ Buddists are long time readers of TFB.
