If you find yourself in Bali anytime soon, be sure to check out the Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary in its remote jungles.

The place has an Indiana Jones feel to it, where monkeys roam free and tourists are encouraged to avoid smiling as baring one’s teeth is a sign of aggression to the grey-haired and long-tailed Balinese macaques, according to Lonely Planet.

But before you let that dissuade you from visiting this sanctuary, perhaps we should tell you the Sacred Monkey Forrest is a deeply spiritual place.

It is a place where humans seek harmony. There are three kinds of harmony that can be had: harmony between humans and God, between humans and their natural environment, and between humans and humans.

But there is also a kind of harmony we forgot to mention. This is the harmony the natural environment has with itself.

And nothing exemplified this better than when tourist Anne Young found a monkey in the sacred sanctuary that had adopted its very own kitten.

There are many stray animals in Bali and this kitten, who had nothing in common with a monkey, found itself living in harmony with it.

The monkey takes care of her as if she were its own.

She feeds the kitten and protects it from other monkeys.

She even nurtures it like a human would with their very own baby.

It’s an adorable relationship that makes us question how different we really are from monkeys. After all, humans share 98% of our DNA with chimps (or closest relatives) and we share only a little less with these guys, but it’s the love and kindness like this that really shows just how closely we are all connected.
