Books like The Dalai Lama's cat by David Michie


The Dalai Lama's cat follows a small kitten rescued from the slums of New Delhi to a picturesque sanctuary overlooking the snow‑capped Himalayas. While living on the Dalai Lama’s tranquil grounds, the kitten meets a wide range of visitors—including Hollywood stars, scholars, philanthropists and Buddhist masters—each encounter offering gentle insights into finding happiness and meaning amid a busy, challenging life. Through her lively personality, the kitten learns that true contentment comes not from trying to change the world, but from changing how we experience it.
