'Praying' dog at Japanese temple

Conan the dog joins the priests at Jigenin temple at prayer time
Attendance at a Buddhist temple in Japan has increased since the temple's pet, a two-year-old dog, has joined in the daily prayers.
Conan, a Chihuahua, sits on his hind legs, raises his paws and puts them together at the tip of his nose.

"He may be showing his thanks for treats and walks," says a priest at Jigenin temple on Okinawa island.

Priest Joei Yoshikuni would like Conan to meditate, but "it's not like we can make him cross his legs", he says.

"Basically, I am just trying to get him to sit still while I meditate," he told Associated Press news agency.

Saw that as well. Pretty neat party trick huh?

Clearly both the monk & the dog have a very close "karmick" connection.

Namo-Ami-tha-bul!
