A Dog Learns to Pray

From today’s Telegraph.

Yoshikuni said Conan generally goes through his prayer routine at the temple in the capital of Japan’s southern Okinawa prefecture (state) without prompting before his morning and evening meals.

I think he saw me doing it all the time and got the idea to do it, too,” Yoshikuni said.

The priest is now trying to teach him how to meditate.

Well, sort of. “Basically, I am just trying to get him to sit still while I meditate,” he explained. “It’s not like we can make him cross his legs.”

This raises a number of questions such as, what does a devout Buddhist dog receive by way of karma? and why can’t our dog learn to pray for the door to be opened, rather than just barking at us?
