[chuck] in Dharma, Palm leaf sutra books, Wat Preah Keo

Close up of the ancient sutra books made from palm leaves archived at Wat Preah Keo in Phnom Penh. There were hundreds of these, all stacked on top of each other in two long glass cases. It was steaming hot the day I took the picture and it must have been an oven inside the cases. Maybe that's a good thing.
