As with most books of a spiritual nature, my motto is; take from it what you will. (  ) Ann_R | Jan 28, 2024 | During the course of this book, a himalayan cat who goes by several names, HHC (His Holiness' Cat), Mousie-Tung, Rimpoche and Snow Lion, learns a lot about Buddhism from the Dalai Lama and other people in his headquarters and the surrounding town.

HTML: "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 world's 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 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. Each encounter offers a fresh 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 Lama's 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 Holiness's compassion pervading every chapter, The Dalai Lama's Cat is simply enchanting. .Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

David Michie uses a fairly twee device, the narration of her life story by Rinpoche, a Himalayan cat rescued by the Dalai Lama from some street urchins in Delhi, to teach readers some essentials of Buddhism. I have shamefully neglected my mindfulness practice for many months now, so this was a timely reminder of how important this practice is.
Over the week or so that I've taken to read the book, I've had opportunities to practice some of the other things Michie writes about: treating change as opportunity, and exercising patience. Without the gentle prompting of this book, I probably would have been a little bit pricklier to live with, and may even have made a bad decision to leave my job just because the conditions had changed.
So go ahead, Dear Reader. It's only a short book but it may just bring some good things into your life like it did for me. (
