Zhixiang, 53, is the abbot of Bao’en Temple in Shanghai’s Fengxian District. He’s also responsible for over 9,000 stray cats and dogs. The monk says he’s faced criticism for neglecting his religious duties. But he believes that saving lives is a better way to practice Buddhism.

The Japanese maple trees have been considered a symbol of grace personified for hundreds of years and is associated with peace. The maple trees can also represent balance and are called "kito" in the Japanese language, which means "calm," or "at peace." #SymbolismSunday
