Sentient Beings in the Kingdom of Bhutan

By Laurie S. Chambers

Tucked away in the Himalayan mountains is the peaceful kingdom of Bhutan. Its mystery and beauty is impossible to overlook as is the uncommon relationship that exists among the sentient beings of the region. Pure-hearted locals reside in harmony with every inhabitant of the land, as they, too, believe that all living beings have souls.

In Bhutan, its residents abide by the wisdom of the Buddha who expounded that sentient beings currently living in the animal realm have been our family and friends in past incarnations. Therefore, stray dogs peacefully co-exist in the kingdom alongside humans and other animals. Through beautiful photography, original artwork, and other creative inspiration, the extraordinary bond between humans and dogs is highlighted as each species supports the other’s needs.

In this inspirational tale of love, both humans and dogs are accorded respect as fellow sentient beings within a peaceful kingdom, demonstrating that loving compassion carries responsibility for all life.
