A Tibetan prays by lying flat on the ground in front of a shrine in the Kumbun Monastery located on the outskirts of Xining in Qinghai province March 10, 2009. The monastery is the birthplace of the founder of the Gelupka sect of Buddhism, which is headed by Tibet's spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama. Today marks the 50th anniversary since the Dalai's flight into exile after an abortive uprising against Chinese rule in 1959.
