The Dalai Lama's Cat by David Michie

The Dalai Lama's Cat

Buddhist philosophy as told by a cat. This is a cute story of a cat rescued by the Dalai Lama, who, living with His Holiness, becomes known as HHC - His Holinesses Cat, and how the cat learns about Buddhism from the Dalai Lama and others of his household. He learns about mindfulness, paying attention to the present moment deliberately and non-judgmentally, wishing to give happiness to others, and that to focus too much on one's self can lead to hairballs. It is a cute story with a simple introduction to Buddhism and I found it easy to read and quite enjoyable. I received this book free to review from Netgalley.
