The tiger temple in Thailand is a place where an extraordinary bond
between man and the world's biggest cats has been formed.. The tigers
here are so peaceful its almost as if they have accepted buddhism as
their religion. In fact, they even sit for the meditating sessions
with the monks and kneel down in front of them as it they are the
gurus. The tigers are so docile that the monks have to sometimes
train them to fight otherwise they would lose all their power of self
protection.

The link started in 1999 when a sick baby tiger, orphaned after
poachers shot its mother, was brought to the monks. Within a few
years several other tiger cubs similarly orphaned by poachers had
arrived. The most amazing thing is none of the cubs turned out
ferocious on growing up. The monks believe that these tigers are none
other than the former buddhist disciples who have taken rebirth in
the same place.
