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 & 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 & a host of other people who come visiting His Holiness. Each encounter offers a fresh insight into finding happiness & meaning in the midst of a life of busy-ness & 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 & His Holiness compassion pervading every chapter The Dalai Lamas Cat" is simply enchanting."
