The Dalai Lama's Cat

In the months that followed I watched His Holiness working on a new book ..... I began to think that perhaps the time had come for me to turn my paws to a book of my own .... one that tells my own tale ..... 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 worlds greatest spiritual leaders and a Nobel Peace Prize laureate, but who is also a dab hand with the can opener. Not so much fly-on-the-wall as cat-on-the-sill, this is the warm-hearted 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 Lamas cat encounters Hollywood stars, Buddhist masters,Ivy-league professors, famous philanthropists, and a host of other people who come visiting His Holiness. Each encounter offers afresh insight into finding happiness and meaning in the midst of a life of busy-ness and challenge. Drawing us into her world with her adorable but all-too-flawed personality, the Dalai Lamas cat discovers how instead of trying to change the world, changing the way we experience the world is the key to true contentment.Featuring a delightful cast of characters,timeless Buddhist wisdom,and His Holinesss compassion pervading every chapter, The Dalai Lamas Cat is simply enchanting.
