At a Buddhist monastery in Thailand, You’ll find a fluffy kitty monk named Brother Ji-won. Always by his side are his two students: Brother Namachok (black and white) and Brother Konthong (ginger).
Always by his side are his two students: Brother Namachok (black and white) and Brother Konthong (ginger).
They also have a human master. A comment on the video translated what he said: “There is only this. It arises, stays and passes away. Live our life to the happiest. Whatever you do, do what makes you happy, but don’t cause others trouble. Don’t trouble your family or yourself. Do you understand, little one?”
The trio is dedicated to prayer and meditation. But it’s clear the two lil bros haven’t practiced stillness as much as Ji-won.
Brother Namachok is really in the zone in this one.
But even while big brother Ji-won is a true master, he’s not perfect and doesn’t attempt to be. So sometimes he might even be late for prayer.
Here the three brothers are wishing everyone a happy new year.
Here’s Brother Ji-won dressed up to celebrate the Chinese Lunar New Year.
The three brothers also like to exercise and go on adventures together.
Or maybe go fishing.
And while becoming a monk includes letting go of material possessions… Ji-won had to hold on to his Lambo!
