Publisher's Summary

Featuring a delightful cast of characters and timeless Buddhist wisdom, and with His Holiness' compassion pervading every chapter, The Dalai Lama's Cat is simply enchanting. 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 snowcapped 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 busyness 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.

This audiobook also contains six delightful tracks taking you through guided stretches and sits, including:

  • How to sit when you meditate
  • Standing roll down and breath counting
  • Paw raise and purring
  • Threading the needle and body awareness
  • Cat pose and visualisation technique
  • Shoulder bridge and analytical meditation
  • Paw stretch, tranquillity and affirmations

LOVED IT!!!!! Wish I could give it 10 stars!

Learned so much about Buddhist principles through the quirky narration of a cat. I loved all the little stories HHC took me through and the realizations she made at the end of each of these moments in her life where she went through something or saw someone else go through something that caused her experience a realization through over-hearing Buddhist POV advice given to someone else about a similar problem. I do keep wondering how much input the Dalai Lama had in this book though because I want to know if these stories are based on real events and HHC's narration is assumed or if it's all just made up or assumed. It would mean a lot less to me if it was ALL made up. I hope it's not. because the stories were really real to me. They taught me a lot. ❤

Simple, easily digestible message - bed time book!

Nothing profound, it's a Buddhist cat book let's be honest. But going in with that expectation will see you enjoying this little tale. a Buddhist Aesop's Fables.

Insightful with fur balls!

Brilliant. Funny, but informative cat take on Buddhism. Includes cat yoga and purring meditation. Loved it.

Purrfect to listen to and teachings are profound.

The Teachings and Observations of a cat watching and sharing her life with the Dalai Lama. I found this ebook so much easier to listen to than reading. Purrfect for me to listen with noise-cancelling headphones, as I have a head injury.

Not for me.

Couldn't even get into our, let alone finish. It wasn't what I expected maybe and more of a story about a cat.
