Pet Blessing

Pet Blessing (en Español)

Back to 2011 Gallery

Whatever their karmic connection to the Dharma, a number of our animal friends received some love and compassion during the recent Heart Shrine Relic Tour in Spokane. It was a playful, sweet sight, and as we blessed them we made special prayers that they all have precious human rebirths and meet the Dharma in their next life and all future lives. May their human friends garner the same good fortune.

Pets and their families wait patiently together.

Many of the animals sat very peacefully while having the relics placed on their heads.

These little boys brought a few of their kitties in kennels.
