Monk training workshop in honour of the Venerable Abbot of Chiang Mai
Lanna Dog Welfare was highly delighted to organize a monk training program on animal welfare and first aid for temple dogs in cooperation with Blue Tail Animal Aid International and supported by World Animal Protection,in order to honour Phratep Pariyat as a role model for compassion towards temple animals.
After a 3 days of intensive training, including the theory of animal welfare and first aid, hands-on practice in field sterilzation and field temple visits, 12 monks from 6 temples received a certificate from the Venerable Abbot of Chiang Mai.
It was a very impressive and successful program. The Venerable abbot of Chiang Mai appreciated this project very much and asked people and organizations to donate for further monk training. There are over 1,600 temples in Chiang Mai, and most of them are struggling to take care of abandoned animals, especially when they are sick and without population control. We were very impressed with an abbot from Wat Sopanaram, who will soon be 66 years old. Although he is very busy with the community, he still came to this training and exchange experience with us. He learned modern medicine, while experiencing traditional remedies. It was pleasing to see him at a temple that had a dog with problems to its hip, due to a car accident. The Abbot applied traditional oil that had been made by himself and massaged it into the dog.
It proved to be wonderful training. We hope to get support for further training.

In order to organize the monk training, Lanna Dog Welfare has to survey each temple regarding the dogs and cats that live in them. We were very busy every week in driving between the temples in order to pay them a visit. This time, we have plans for temples in Sansai and Maerim, on the outskirts of Chiang Mai. We explained our objectives to the abbots and exchanged our experience on how the temples manage their stray dogs.
The surveys were very impressive and we could feel a compassionate atmosphere or Metta in a Buddhist sense. Each temple is unique. We were amazed that Maeyuak Temple now has over 130 abandoned dogs, and they were all sterilized. The Abbot arranged a “cleaning day” every Sunday, when volunteers come to clean and wash each dog. We were fascinated that the abbot could recognize all of the dogs. When he was busy investigating, one of his dogs disappeared and he asked the monks and novices to go and look for it. Thousands of activities occurred in the temple during our visit, before the abbot went off to bless a couple of people who came to a big sack of dog food.
While we were sitting, 2 temple dogs came to sit near us, as if they wanted to participate in our conversation.
Other temple dogs were sitting around happily.
We are looking forward very much to starting our monk training soon.
