My friend Sap's dream is to be a cat, a cat from a temple, catch insects and play with fish in the mountains, practice freely, and get some incense.
sounds very attractive. If you want to say that the most popular among cats in Wuhan temples is undoubtedly Baotong Zen Temple. According to incomplete statistics, there are 50 cats living in the temple, each of which has a very unique personality.
Follow Master Ju's account "Ao Ao Di" for a long time. He recorded the daily life of the cats in Baotong Zen Temple. Occasionally, he sucked the cats from the video. He watched the cats living in the temple feel happy and he was very healing. Recently I learned that Baotong Zen Temple is building a cathouse. I took the dried fish with me to visit while the weather is good.
Most of the cats in Baotong Zen Temple are on the mountain, and several social oxes wander at the door or in front of the hall all year round, becoming a popular attraction in the temple. The tortoiseshell and Sanhua at the entrance are probably the confidence of the beauty among cats (the more colorful the cat is, the more beautiful the cat is), so of course they have become the first choice for welcoming guests. The two of them act coquettishly towards tourists, facing the camera from all directions, revealing a sense of slackness all over their bodies.
After identification, these are the two best people who act coquettishly and compete for favor: the big orange in front of the hall maintains a polite attitude from morning to night, unable to get up, and ignores the tourists coming and going. The old monk enters meditation and has the style of a cat in a Buddhist temple.
If you want to see the cat go up, follow the pagoda and go up the steps, visit and meet the cat.
When you see this sign, you will know that it is not far from the big cat group.
Sure enough, I met a black cat first, then another one came out, and then another one more, and the black cat had to accept the shadow clone technique. In the pavilion, Master Ju is adding food to the cats and introducing the cats' personalities and backgrounds to the tourists.
The new one recently came is a chain of tabby cats and Jinjian Layer. She is seven months old and has a good appearance but is irritable. Master Ju said that he had been retired twice and was finally sent to the mountain.
Kitten takes the cat strips when they first arrive, and they will be brave enough to get close to them. It can be seen that it is very satisfied with the new environment, catching insects and chasing butterflies on the mountain, without any reservation, showing a lively and active attitude that matches its age.
The big orange with a relatively high qualification occupies a corner of the pavilion and falls asleep peacefully, turning a blind eye to the matter outside the window, and is indifferent to the dried fish. Master Lu said that it has stomatitis and cannot eat dried fish.
When cats are sick or reach the age of sterilization, Master Ku will take them down the mountain to the pet hospital. Each treatment process will be recorded and posted on the account "Arrogant Flute". People who care about cats can learn about the cat's dynamics from here.
Master Ju told us that the best time to enjoy cats is 3:50 pm. At that time, the temple was almost closed, and there were not so many people, and all the cats would come out.
Baotong Temple is probably the only temple in the country where cathouses were built.
Nine townhouses have begun to take shape. Although they are still unfinished houses, they can already imagine what they will look like when they are delivered in the future. Kittens are just around the corner.
Look at this place surrounded by mountains and forests, and the quiet location is in the midst of the chaos. In addition, the temples are close to each other, the pavilions are in front of you, and the subway is the dream era of large business districts, which is amazing. Baotong Temple’s doting of cats is in the details. For example, the signs along the way: For example, the cat climbing frames on this tree: there are also cat nests and heartfelt copywriting: there are also cats "peripherals". There are also cats' playmates in the temple - doves:
All things have spirits.
Baotong Zen Temple is one of the most frequent temples I visit.
Work Buddha, admire ginkgo, pet cats, feed pigeons, and koi. In winter, you can also watch the cabbage under the pagoda. This incense temple has its own attributes of being close to the people.
In fact, Baotong Zen Temple is the only royal temple in Wuhan. It is known as the "No. 1 Buddha land in the Three Chus". Its history can be traced back to the Liu Song Dynasty of the Southern Dynasties (420 to 479 AD). It was originally named Dongshan Temple. It has a history of 1,600 years. It is the oldest ancient temple in Wuhan.
The current Baotong Zen Temple was opened to the public after its full restoration in 1984. The temple was built on the mountain, and the temples and pavilions undulate with the mountains. The bright yellow courtyard walls, the red eaves and corners of the cinnabar, the towering temples and towering ginkgo trees, which are very magnificent as royal temples.
In such a simple and solemn temple, cats will naturally be treated kindly. But more and more abandoned cats are difficult to take good care of, and the street children still want to have a home.
I can't help but mention another sentence about the recent "cat abuse" incident of postgraduate entrance examination students. Whether we admit it or not, many animals have indeed been treated unjustly in the hands of humans. We should also be indignant about such behaviors. Paying attention and discussion is the first step.
Finally, if you want to bring a cat who has practiced in the temple home, you can leave a message with Master Lu on Xiaohongshu "Ao Ao Di" and maybe your fate with the kitten is right in front of you.
