About this listen

Featuring a delightful cast of characters and timeless Buddhist wisdom, and with His Holiness' compassion pervading every chapter, The Dalai Lama's Cat is simply enchanting. Not so much fly-on-the-wall as cat-on-the-sill, this is the warmhearted tale of a small kitten rescued from the slums of New Delhi who finds herself in a beautiful sanctuary with sweeping views of the snowcapped 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 busyness and challenge.

Drawing us into her world with her adorable but all-too-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.

This audiobook also contains six delightful tracks taking you through guided stretches and sits, including:

  • How to sit when you meditate
  • Standing roll down and breath counting
  • Paw raise and purring
  • Threading the needle and body awareness
  • Cat pose and visualisation technique
  • Shoulder bridge and analytical meditation
  • Paw stretch, tranquillity and affirmations

Charming little story

If you love cats, the Dalai Lama och Bhuddism, you will love this charming tale. It will not stretch your intellect, but what is wrong with a smile to sooth away the stresses of modern life. Nice meditations at the end to listen to last thing at night.
Having spent a fair time in Dharmsala and McLeod Ganj, I had a vivid picture the place. (This was to write a novel partly set there, titled Cloud Fever.)

An enlighting listen...

I love this book, so listen to it at regular intervals. So many little nuggets of Tibetan Buddhist wisdom interwoven into the story of a kitten found by the Dalai Lama. It is fiction of course, but a such an easy listen that you can go back to time and again!

Being from a cat’s pov made it more interesting/light hearted.

It was so calming, apart from my irrational emotions at the bits where fictional animals might get harmed. The only issue I had was the narrator’s voice made me quite sleepy. I did zone out and have to replay some sections. But hopefully the meditations will help with both of those things!

Gentle

loved this, but had to keep going back a chapter or two. David Michie has a very soothing voice, not in the least bit boring, but I tend to listen in bed and fall asleep. I can truly say though, that I've thoroughly enjoyed it, especially the Meditations.

A cute introduction to mindfulness

A cute introduction to mindfulness.
But why is the narrator male if the protagonist cat is female? I really baffles me and there is no excuse for it.
