There is an interesting legend about this Zakiram. Long long ago, a female Buddha believer named Zakiram from inland came to Lhasa followed by a master of Sera Monastery. Her unparalleled beauty incurred jealousy from many local goddesses who poisoned her and cut her feet cruelly. Zakiram used her remarkable ability to push the all poison onto her tongue and replace chicken claws with the cut feet. Those goddesses were helpless to smash the girl completely and gave up then. Due to this legend, the Buddha image of Zakiram has been featured in the widely open eyes, black face, black poisoning tongue out of her mouth and a pair of chicken claws.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn fact, Zaki Temple was not originally worshiped for wealth but earned its fame for praying safety by outsiders at the beginning.

Many Chinese believe that the year of a person's birth is the primary factor in determining that person's personality traits, physical and mental attributes, and degree of success and happiness throughout one's lifetime. The ancient Yinyang principle constructed a fantastic system of 10 heavenly stems and 12 mundane branches. The latter corresponds to 12 animals with two symbolic functions. Each animal is mystically related to one year in a 12-year cycle. Each animal also represents two hours or one-twelfth of every day. A person's future is determined by this intriguing system. These twelve animals are Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Pig. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's your zodiac animal?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe 12 zodiac animals are shown below in order, with recent years for you to directly find out your own birth year and animal sign.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChinese Zodiac Signs' Personality\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChinese zodiac animals have astrological and cultural meanings.
