The monks of this temple lived a hundred beautiful white cats. The eldest of the monks, Mun-Ha, had a faithful feline friend, Sinh, who was the head of the rest of the sacred temple cats. His golden eyes were the reflection of the golden body of the Goddess and her body was white, though his legs, face and tail were the color of the earth, due to impurity of the soil. One stormy night, the enemy attacked the temple and Mun-Ha was killed. He was sitting on his golden throne, Sinh leapt to his head and his eyes pleaded with the Goddess, then a miracle occurred. Suddenly, the white mantle of Sinh turned to gold, her fingers became pure white and his eyes looked like the sapphires of the Goddess. Then he turned his eyes toward the door stormy south, for the monks regain strength and defend their enemies. And so the temple was saved from desecration. Sinh Mun-Ha was careful to seven days without leaving him and the Goddess, and dying after taking a Mun-Ha with the goddess Tsun-Kiansé. Seven days later, the monks gathered to elect a successor, was when the other cats ninety-nine surrounded the youngest of the monks to choose from. The legend has it that every sacred cat dies he takes with him the reincarnated soul of a monk to rest forever in paradise
