Rain soddens what is covered up,
It does not sodden what is open.
Therefore uncover what is covered
That the rain will not sodden it. Ud 5.5

This one looks actually fairly cruel.. as if the seedy mahout is forcing the unhealthy-looking elephant to kneel on cement for a monk as a trick..pilgrim wrote:

I'm not sure if the monk with the tattoos is Thai monk?? I 've never seen Thai monks with tattoos before. But he seems to be very kind to the tiger...and that is so nice.
Nice picture/thank you,

Re: Animals love Buddhists
Hi Yawares,
I thought in the past I had seen photos of Thai bhikkhus showing tattoos: http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&safe= ... 2QWeq5y6DQ" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
I personally have never had an interest in getting tattoos but admittedly some of those religious images are very compelling nonetheless.
Glad you appreciate the photo.

I so love this video...the bird on the monk's head is so brave/funny.
For me the closest encounter with the birds(Red Cardinals) was when they sat on my pink Oleander plants and looked at me through my window(computer room).

Re: Animals love Buddhists
And some Buddhists love animals!
“No lists of things to be done. The day providential to itself. The hour. There is no later. This is later. All things of grace and beauty such that one holds them to one's heart have a common provenance in pain. Their birth in grief and ashes.”

in mountain clefts and chasms,
loud gush the streamlets,
but great rivers flow silently.

If you ever get religious image tattoo...please post your picture so all members can see.
I like the Buddha image tattoo,
