My name is Chokdee ( good luck). I was born on the full moon of May 2014, on the same day of the Buddha's Enlightenment. Kim and the monks took me from the Animal shelter in Moss Vale on 10 Mar 2015. I am so happy to help the monks in their Dhamma activities.

The peacock's name is Abbot, and he is the first one to greet visitors with his loud voice. He is caretaker and watchdog for the monastery, and you might find his beautiful feathers in the Dhamma gardens.
Wombat: Night time care taker of the monastery. But if you don't shut the kitchen door properly, he will open it and make an unbelievable mess.
