This video re-affirmed my devotion to Buddhism and my duty to protect our beautiful home.

Fascinating video featuring a lovely man and his beautiful spiritual relationship with his feathered friends. Birds sometimes 'speak' to me also. Animals have a consciousness and humans cannot continue to treat them like machines. Join the international movement to end factory farming and instead support cruelty-free farmers who treat their animals with compassion :D

I enjoyed hearing the monk talk to the bunting and telling it where it should not build its nest. :)
I could relate because I talk to the birds in my garden all the time.

What a charming video and what a nice face that monk has.

What a wonderful and informative article! As a conservation biologist and artist, Tashi & his associates are doing very important work in the Himalayas. His bird guide will no doubt be a big success, and I look forward to acquiring one. I would like to mention that the identification of the last two bird photos (oriental skylark and chestnut-sided nuthatch) are switched..can you please correct them? Thank you for this great story.

I enjoy your videos very much! I have two questions:

1. Can I get the video on full screen?

2. Can I send the video to my tv?

Any help would be appreciated!

Thank you. Art Laflamme

What a brother this video and article show me. I am inspired by your explorations, investigations, drawings, bird relationship, and understanding of special care needed in all things. THANKS Jim

Great video. Nice to hear the story from the monk himself.
