Why are there so many cats in Fayuan Temple in Beijing?

Fayuan Temple in Beijing is called Cat Temple by many young people because a large number of stray cats live in Fayuan Temple in recent years. These lovely kittens instantly attracted tourists' attention, and everyone was curious about why all cats in Beijing like to go to Fayuan Temple.

In the hearts of many pet owners, Fayuan Temple has a special position, because there are many stray cats in the temple, and many people say that it is a pity that "the epidemic has passed, we must go to Fayuan Temple to raise cats".

Stray cats in Fayuan Temple

Fayuan Temple, formerly known as Benjamin Zhong Yi Temple, has a history of thousands of years. There are not many pilgrims and monks at ordinary times. In 2000, Li Ao wrote a book, Fayuan Temple in Beijing. And then more people know.

Previously, Beijing Fayuan Temple posted an announcement and spread all over the network in an instant. Everyone said: a little cute.

It seems that not only people like to worship Buddha now, but even cats like to stay in temples. However, for the notice of "Don't feed the meat", the owner of the cat doesn't agree, saying that "wine and meat cross the intestines, and the Buddha's heart stays".

There are not many monks and pilgrims in the temple, but there are cats everywhere, beside the roots, on the steps, on the eaves, on the steps and under the lotus platform.

Probably all the cats living in the temple are very happy. They will not be driven away, nor will they be abused. They just eat, sleep, lie in and bask in the sun every day. Many netizens said that I kind of want to be a cat in Fayuan Temple.

They are not afraid of people, but also clingy. They wander around the temple, and when they meet people, they "touch porcelain", kneeling at their feet and doing whatever they want.

The relationship with monks and cats is very unusual. They buy them cat food and put the grass in small pots or plastic bags. There are many places near the main hall and in the bamboo forest. Their interaction is particularly loving.

Another time, a mother-in-law came out of the meditation room with a bowl of water. As she walked, she shouted, Mimi, Mimi, drink water, but the cat ignored her. Cats meditate everywhere and turn a deaf ear to everything around them. The mother-in-law put the water bowl in front of her without looking.

Pilgrim: I'm a cat expert. Many pilgrims like them very much, and professional cat farmers will feed them canned food and cat food.

A senior cat slave visited them every once in a while and set up a topic for filing in Weibo.

In fact, besides Fayuan Temple, there are many places where people and stray animals can live in harmony. This scene is really exciting.

But everything has two sides. For so many years, many people know that the master in the temple was kind and deliberately abandoned the animals to Fayuan Temple. There are more than 50 stray cats in the temple at most, which not only has an impact on the environment in the temple, but also makes cats live in groups and their health is worrying.

Therefore, Fayuan Temple is constantly open for adoption. There are not many stray cats in the temple at present. Many cats have new families at present. We also call for not abandoning cats and dogs, advocating adoption instead of buying, advocating sterilization instead of killing.
