Dear Pilgrim,

Oh so cute! In Thailand there are at least 2 temple that feed tigers with left over alms-food. Metta can tame wild animals indeed.

Love your article/pictures.

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..

Dear rowboat,

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,

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.

Dear Pilgrim,

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).

If you ever get religious image tattoo...please post your picture so all members can see.

I like the Buddha image tattoo,
