Buddhist cat

[zavk]

I thought my cat is Buddhist because she often sits with me to meditate (i.e. nap), but I think this is the real deal:

phpBB .

The footage appears to be from Korea, but this appears to be a TV program from Hong Kong. I don't understand the voice-over because I don't understand Cantonese, and with my totally pathetic understanding of the Chinese language (despite studying it in school) I can only barely make out what the subtitles are saying: The cat would go to the Dhamma hall everyday and sit for hours in front of the Buddha rupa, almost as if it were prostrating or venerating it. The monks would try to entice it out to play but it would just return to the Dhamma hall. The only times when it voluntarily leaves the Dhamma hall is when it is hungry.

A good rebirth for this cat, I reckon.

Oh I didn't know it had been featured since last year.

Based on my cat's vocal range, I'm guessing... 'mrrrrp...meoow... puuurrrrr' x 3.

I often wondered what meditators with pets do. I just assumed they closed the door. So your cat will settle in by you and be still enough for you to push on with your meditation?

Cats like warm comfy cushions.

Yup my cat sure loves my meditation blanket/cushion. She usually comes into the room, look out the window for a while, then circle around me.... sometimes she'll clamber on my lap to ask for a kiss, but she'll eventually settle down like in my avatar pic, resting her head on my leg to have a snooze. It's not much of a disturbance really; I might pat her or 'headbutt' her in return then i get back to my meditation. I had to get my partner to quickly tip toe into the room to take that photo.

One of my greyhounds just likes to come over while I'm sitting, stand a foot in front of me for a minute, then nudge my face with his wet nose. On the bright side, I'd prefer that to having a 100-pound dog try to sit in my lap.

Earlier today, I wrote a post about one of our greyhounds, dearly deceased now for nearly two years, who would come and try and sit on my lap while I meditated. Unfortunately, my satellite connection dropped out as I sent my post!
