🐱 Why are Thailand’s temple cats so freakishly friendly?
Not a secret breed — it’s straight-up Buddhist karma!🧘

Monks feed ’em, tourists pet ’em, everyone wins. (Except the mice.)

Support TNVR so these temple legends stay happy & healthy forever.

දිගු ගමනින් කளை වූ ශරීර, දහනය වූ සම, හා තුවාල වූ පා තිබුණත්—භික්ෂූන් වහන්සේලා පියවරෙන් පියවර ඉදිරියට ගමන් කරමින් සියලු සත්වයන්ට මෙත්තා, කරුණා සහ සාමය පතුරවති 🕊️

Exactly 7 years ago, on Easter Sunday 2019, Sri Lanka faced one of its darkest days as coordinated attacks struck churches and hotels, taking 269 lives, including 45 foreign nationals, and injuring 500 more 💔
A moment to pause, remember the victims, and stand in solidarity with all those affected 🙏
