"If you ever doubted that your feline companion has her own inner
life, just watch what happens when she falls asleep, and loses
conscious control of her physical being . . . a twitching of limbs, a
quivering of the jaw, sometimes perhaps a snuffling noise or a meow. .
. . Cats may indeed be capable of great mindfulness. But we are
thinking beings, too. In my own case, unfortunately, a being who
thinks rather too much." In the latest installment 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, she
shares 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. By accompanying HHC on her journey, you will learn new
ways to relate to your own mind: slowing down, finding peace, and
abiding in the boundless radiance and benevolence that is your own
true nature.
