If you can’t make your cat feel comfortable at home, then there’s no point in raising a cat. After all, cats are meant to be pampered, not to be disposed of at will.
For us shit collectors, when we talk about the country of Japan, we should not forget the cats there. At least all the Japanese cats we see online are doing well, and everyone seems to like cats very much.
So when a cat appears in a clean temple, no one will find it strange, because isn’t it suitable for cats who are also quiet to make a quiet temple their home?
Myoshinji Temple, as a temple open to the public in Japan, is naturally visited by people every day.
Some people worship Buddha with a pious heart, while others want to find a quiet place to soothe their minds. However, some people neither worship Buddha nor calm their minds, but make a special trip to see the cat masters in the temple.
Master Cat, a big fat orange full of orange, lives a very nourishing life. He never regards himself as a stray cat, let alone a visitor in the temple, because... Master Cat lives in Miaoxin Temple peacefully like a monk.
Recently, a set of photos of a sleeping cat has received hundreds of thousands of likes on the Internet. What is popular is not its "chic" sleeping posture, but the fact that it sleeps in a place that most people will not touch - Dry Landscape.
The so-called dry landscape is simply a form of Japanese painting. There is no water inside, but gravel is used as "water" and stones are used as "mountain", so that these static elements can give people a sense of tranquility.
Monks in temples often use dry mountains and rivers as an auxiliary place for "meditation". People who enter the temple generally do not destroy this tranquility...well, except for the free and easy cat.
People passing by took out their mobile phones to take pictures, whispering and laughing in the courtyard. The cat, who was sleeping soundly, turned over unhappily, as if he was dissatisfied with the people around him disturbing his dream.
In the clean temple, the dry landscape, which represents tranquility, was "destroyed" by a carefree cat. The monks passing by did not care, and the visitors who stopped felt more comfortable.
How can it be uncomfortable to live in a place that cats like? As whispers reached Master Cat's ears from time to time, he stood up, stretched, and left slowly.
There are other cats in the temple, but if anyone is the most popular, it must be the cat.
Dry landscape is a good place to sleep in the eyes of cats. Especially when the sun is not strong, it likes to come here to rest.
Visitors naturally don’t know when the cat came to the temple, and the monks are unwilling to tell the origin of the cat. As for the reason... I don’t think the monks in the temple are too lazy to tell, but they regard the cats as part of the temple, and the harmonious atmosphere is natural.
However, the cat is not loved because he occasionally sleeps on dry mountains and rivers. Others have long given it a nickname, called "Sincere Little Monk".
Why does Mr. Cat have this nickname? If a cat squats in front of a "Buddha statue" every day, and it happens to be squatting at the gate, isn't this considered "sincere"?
If you want to ask the cat why he went to that Buddha statue...well, we don't know. Maybe it was thanking the temple for its adoption, or maybe it was some mysterious fate.
Ahem, this is really unclear.
