A Buddhist Monk prays as he sits in a temple inside the Rongbo Monastery, the world's highest monastery at an altitude of over 5100 metres, located at the foot of Mount Everest, also known as Qomolangma, in the Tibet Autonomous Region May 3, 2008. The Tibetan government-in-exile said on Friday that envoys of the Dalai Lama will travel to China on May 3 to meet the government over the crisis in Tibet, after a crackdown on protests against Chinese rule in Tibet and international diplomatic chorus earlier this year urged dialogue.
