This is a child asking for their Holy Bible to be blessed, and that's Bhante Paññākāra blessing that Bible using the feather fan gifted to him by a Native American tribe. And behind him is the Dhutangadhari Bhikkhu Piyathammoo. His expression caught my heart.

The story behind the feather fan from Lynn Brooks:

"This prayer fan was gifted to him by my Mother last Friday in Columbia SC. She has danced in many Pow Wows and prayed with these for many years. They were given to her by a Native Cherokee women. This fan is one of the few things that wasn't taken from her and it represents hope. My family is beyond honored that he accepted this gift and that is still spreading hope."
