THE DALAI LAMA’S CAT – A NOVEL: 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 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 busy-ness and challenge. Drawing us into her world with her adorable but alltoo-
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. Featuring a delightful cast of characters, timeless
Buddhist wisdom, and His Holiness's compassion pervading every chapter, The Dalai Lama's Cat is simply
enchanting.
THE DALAI LAMA’S CAT & THE ART OF PURRING – A NOVEL: What makes you purr? Of
all the questions in the world, this is the most important. It is also the great leveler. Because no matter whether
you are a playful kitten or a sedentary senior, a scrawny alley Tom or a sleek-coated uptown girl, whatever
your circumstances, you just want to be happy. Not the kind of happy that comes and goes like a can of flaked
tuna but an enduring happiness. The deep-down happiness that makes you purr from the heart. Sparkling with
wisdom, warmth, and a touch of mischief, The Dalai Lama's Cat and the Art of Purring is a charming reminder
of why HHC is becoming one of the most-loved cats around the world. So what is the true cause of purring?
The Dalai Lama whispers this secret on his return-only for the ears of HHC and those with whom she has a
karmic connection . . . that, dear reader, means you!
THE DALAI LAMA’S CAT & THE POWER OF MEOW – A NOVEL: In the latest instalment of
the Dalai Lama’s Cat series, His Holiness’s Cat (“HHC”) is on a mission: to think less, to experience more, to
live in the moment. She soon learns the proper phrase for this, being mindful, or, a concept better known to her
as the power of meow. What ensues is a journey to discover her own true nature, to gain a deeper understanding
of her mind, and to experience life’s greatest joy, the here and now. Throughout, there are encounters
with familiar inhabitants of Dharamsala, as well as a whole new cast of characters: a senior exec from one of
Silicon Valley’s most famous social media companies (hint: the name rhymes with “litter”), the Pope’s beloved
dog (who shares a shockingly similar title: HHD, His Holiness’s Dog), and a public health inspector who
threatens to have our poor narrator banned from the Himalaya Book Café. In this follow-up to the Dalai
Lama’s Cat and the Art of Purring, readers escape to the enchanting and exotic world of the Dalai Lama’s
monastery in the Himalayas, and take a peek inside the mind of a delightfully imperfect creature on the path to
enlightenment.
