I THOUGHT THIS STORY ABOUT THE BUDDHIST DOG WAS WORTH PASSING ON!
'Praying' Buddhist dog draws crowds
NAHA, Japan, A Buddhist temple dog in Okinawa, Japan, attracts many more visitors to the temple since he learned to sit on his haunches and join his paws in a perfect imitation of prayer, AFP reported Monday.
"Conan started to pose in prayer like us whenever he wanted treats," said Joei Yoshikuni, a priest at Jigenin temple on Okinawa. "Clasping hands is a basic action of Buddhist prayer to show appreciation. He may be showing his thanks for treats and walks," he said.
Conan, a two-year-old male with long, black hair and a brown collar, sits next to Yoshikuni in front of the altar. When the priest starts chanting and raises his clasped hands, Conan also raises his paws and joins them at the tip of his nose.
Visitors are enchanted by the spectacle. "It's so funny that he does it," said Kazuko Oshiro, 71, who frequented the temple for more than 25 years. "He gets angry when somebody else sits on his favorite spot. He must be thinking that it's his special place," he said.
Conan has become so popular that people come in to take pictures almost every week, the priest said. Yoshikuni estimated the temple now receives 30 percent more visitors.
THAT’S “30” FOR THIS ISSUE.
