TIGER TEMPLE in Thailand







This is extraordinary... The tiger temple in thailand is a place where an extraordinary bond between man and the world's biggest cats has been formed. The tigers here are so peaceful...itsalmost as if they have accepted Buddhism as their religion.In fact, they even sit for the meditating sessions with themonks and kneel down in front of monks as if they are theirgurus. The tigers are so docile that the monks have tosometimes train them to fight otherwise they would lose alltheir power of self protection. The link started in 1999 when a sick baby tiger, orphanedafter poachers shot its mother, was brought to the monks.Within a few years, several other tiger cubs similarlyorphaned by poachers had arrived. The most amazing thing isnone of the cubs turned out ferocious on growing up. Themonks believe that these tigers are none other than theformer Buddhist disciples who have taken rebirth in the sameplace.A paradise for tiger lovers !
