| Notes | The Dalai Lamas Cat-A Novel In the months that followed I watched His Holiness workingon a new book ..... I began to think that perhaps the time had comeforme to turn my paws to a book of my own .... one that tells myown tale ..... How I was rescued from a fate too grisly tocontemplate,to become constant companion to a man who is not onlyone of the worlds greatest spiritual leaders and a Nobel PeacePrize laureate, but who is also a dab hand with the canopener. Not so much fly-on-the-wall as cat-on-the-sill, this is thewarm-hearted tale of a small kitten rescued from the slums ofNewDelhi who finds herself in a beautiful sanctuary with sweepingviews of the snow-capped Himalayas. In her exotic new home, theDalai Lamas cat encounters Hollywood stars, Buddhist masters,Ivy-league professors, famous philanthropists, and a host of otherpeople who come visiting His Holiness. Each encounter offers afresh insight into finding happiness and meaning in the midst ofalife of busy-ness and challenge. Drawing us into herworld with heradorable but all-too-flawed personality, the Dalai Lamas catdiscovers how instead of trying to change the world, changing theway we experience the world is the key totrue contentment.Featuring a delightful cast of characters,timeless Buddhist wisdom,and His Holinesss compassion pervading every chapter, The DalaiLamas Cat is simply enchanting. |
