And don’t react to a dog invasion with jealousy as it is an emotion that is demanding and takes one further from peace of mind. The first time, I saw him appear at Washington National Cathedral on the first anniversary of September 11. If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like living with the Dalai Lama, now you’ll be able to find out. The Dalai Lama understands her moment of weakness but encourages her not to give up on herself as the buddhas haven’t given up on her.

The Dalai Lama’S Cat And The Four Paws Of Spiritual Success

There have been many touching moments for me throughout the story – you have conveyed the elusive nature of Dharma realisation very well. On Mindful Safari we combine game drives and magical encounters with lion, elephant, giraffe, and other iconic wildlife, with inner journeys exploring the nature of our own mind. Not so much fly-on-the-wall as cat-on-the-sill, this is the warmhearted tale of a small kitten rescued from the slums of New Delhi who finds herself in a beautiful sanctuary with sweeping views of the snow-capped Himalayas.

In her exotic new home, the Dalai Lama’s cat encounters Hollywood stars, Buddhist masters, Ivy-league professors, famous philanthropists, and a host of other people who come visiting His Holiness.

The Conscious Cat is a comprehensive resource for conscious living, health and happiness for cats and their humans. People will study the sumptuous elegance of my delightfully fluffy coat, admire my thousand whiskers and gaze directly into the oceanic blueness of my eyes. Like Connie, I also hope there will be more adventures and learning experiences for HHC, and for your readers.She must not only agree with the principles of her new religion but also live them – no more giving into her instincts and chasing mice.

The Dalai Lama’s Cat series – David Michie

Each encounter offers a fresh insight into finding happiness and meaning in the midst of a life of busy-ness and challenge. How I was rescued from a fate too grisly to contemplate, to become constant companion to a man who is not only one of the world’s greatest spiritual leaders and a Nobel Peace Prize laureate, but who is also a dab hand with the can opener. The cat’s instinct takes over HHC and she swipes a mouse down and proudly brings to the Dalai Lama’s office. I wasn’t quite as sure about the comparison to hair balls and self obsession but if it works for HHC (His Holiness’s Cat), then okay. Her keen observations and reported conversations in these places bring us little gems of Buddhist wisdom.The adorable kitten goes on to become the blue-eyed (literally) girl of the Dalai Lama’s household at Dharamshala. Featuring a delightful cast of characters, timeless Buddhist wisdom, and His Holiness’s compassion pervading every chapter, The Dalai Lama’s Cat is simply enchanting. One thing I hadn’t counted on was how engaged readers would become in the life of His Holiness’s Cat – or HHC, to give her official title.
