Rinpoche – Behind the Scenes 活佛背后的故事

2008年在尼泊尔的某一个冬天晚上，仁波切在加德满都街上看到几只身上长满狗癣的野狗，便马上打电话叫人来捉！说到捉野狗，通常我们会想到它们的最终命运是被人道毁灭，但事实恰好相反，你可能很难想像到在贫穷落后的尼泊尔国家，竟然还有人会把街上的野狗捉来给于治疗，使它们重获新生！这个团体就是加德满都动物治疗中心 Kathmandu Animal Treatment Centre (KAT)。仁波切有一天无意中在加德满都的一间餐馆的布告板上看到关于KAT的消息，就打算前往参观。参观之后仁波切对KAT的动物福利事业很是赞赏，便捐助了KAT的日常用品、动物药物、狗用品、KAT的招牌等等。

On one cold winter night in Kathmandu in 2008, Tsem Rinpoche saw a few street dogs with serious mange on their bodies, so Rinpoche immediately called people to round them up! Most of the time the street dogs (in most countries) will be rounded up and put to sleep (mercy killing), but in a poor city like Kathmandu, you will be surprised to know that there is actually a team of people whose job is to round up street dogs, give them treatment/medicine, heal them and give them a new life! This inspiring team is the Kathmandu Animal Treatment Centre (KAT).

The team from KAT arrived not long after Tsem Rinpoche called them after spotting a few street dogs with serious mange

It was not easy to catch the dogs in the dark!

Gotcha!
