The Dalai Lama's Cat and the Four Paws of Spiritual Success

By: David Michie

Narrated by: David Michie

The Dalai Lama’s Cat is back: irreverent, vain and as delightfully insightful as ever! When the Dalai Lama’s inner circle is set the task of providing His Holiness with a book he can give his visitors, an unexpected volunteer stretches out her paws. The book is to summarize the four key elements of Tibetan Buddhism – and, importantly, to communicate how it feels to be in the profoundly reassuring presence of His Holiness. Who better to do this than his much-loved feline? Through encounters with celebrity visitors and her own intriguing adventures, the Dalai Lama’s Cat explains all four key themes, not so much as ideas but as practices to be embodied. Along the way she even gets a new title – ‘Therapy Cat.’ If you have ever sought a summary of Tibetan Buddhist wisdom, albeit from an unusual and whiskery source, this may just be the book to get you purring!©2019 Mosaic Reputation Management Pty Ltd (P)2019 Bolinda Publishing

Loved HHC and her adventures. Eye opening conversation, making you feel you too can be a better version of yourself. Enjoyed the characters and feeling their life struggles. How with some positive think rethinking change is possible. Julia

I have ,already applied suggestions to make my world a more peaceful place.
Especially the balloon, filled with negative history… letting go of the string!
Best.. sending love instead if anger or judgements.

What a wonderful series of parables

I was so curious to learn more about this cat, and in so doing, learned that this kitty is fictional. However, that doesn't matter, the book was written in such a purrfect and effective voice for the teachings and stories. It was the cutest and kindest book I've read on Buddhism as a Westerner. In the beginning of the book, it was discussed on what kind of book would most benefit a visiting Westerner, and I would agree that this kind of book is it. I loved it so much I'm listening to it again. The author is also the narrator, and he does a wonderful job as both in my opinion. Thoroughly enjoyed this book through the eyes of a cat, written by someone who knows cats and Buddhism well. Wonderful, recommending it to all cat lovers and anyone interested in Buddhism.

Best path to Buddhist principles

I’ve read them 3 times and am still getting more out of them with each read.

This series has helped me find peace

How clever to do this series of books! It’s helped “me” in so many ways and I can already see the positive effects on the beings around me. Thank you.
