It seems like Paris Hilton is trying to shed her party girl image and has turned to a Buddhist Monk to find her spiritual self.

The 27-year-old was spotted with the monk in Los Angeles browsing the shelves of the Bodhi Tree bookstore for spiritual enlightenment books.

The hotel-heiress might have been attempting to change her party-girl image and it looks as if the ageing monk is giving her a helping hand.

Paris read and discussed a book named The Path to the Painted Shaman, with the mystic.
