The Dalai Lama's Cat

Product Information

The nature of their various jobs had the same net effect: having to deal with enormous volumes of non-fiction as part of their working life meant that when it came to the weekend, or going on holiday, the last thing they wanted to do was read yet more non-fiction. In 2015 David established Mindful Safaris, leading groups to Zimbabwe, Africa - where he was born and brought up – encouraging people to visit extraordinary places, outer and inner, through a combination of daily game viewing trips and meditation sessions. D., author of Conscious Loving and The First Rule of Ten --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

David Michie is the author of Buddhism for Busy People, Hurry Up and Meditate and Enlightenment to Go. And, yes, when I sit down to meditate my little Rinpoche, Zuzu, finds her way to my lap…indeed my meditation cushion is one of her favourite spots to curl up. The story created around HHC is largely based on the activities of my own pampered feline, Princess Wussik!The highly reflective cat that narrates this story is not free of either quality, particularly as she seems to develop her variant of a Buddhist practice -- she aims to become a "bohdicatva" as is said more than once. Of course, all cat owners will know that every feline they've owned is different and has her own distinct personality and character, but this book just brings it to life. Just do yourself a favour and find a copy of this book to entertain your thoughts with something just a little different to your norm!

Like Connie, I also hope there will be more adventures and learning experiences for HHC, and for your readers. In Tibetan Buddhism a Bohdisattva is a person who defers his or her own individual enlightenment to work towards the enlightenment of all sentient beings. Before leaving for a teaching tour to America, the Dalai Lama poses a challenge to his beloved feline, HHC (His Holiness’s Cat): to discover the true cause of happiness.
