Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

The Dalai Lama's Cat is back! This latest title is part of the ever-popular and bestselling series.

If you're wondering how being in the presence of an enlightened person may be communicated on the pages of a book written by a flawed and complex—if extremely beautiful—cat, let me confess that my only job here is to offer you a mirror. A looking glass of a particular kind. One that reflects back not the contours of your nose or the arch of your brow, but which provides a much deeper reflection of who and what you are.

Look closely, dear reader, there's no need to be afraid. What you will discover, if you ever doubted it, is that your own true nature is quite different from whatever flecks and imperfections may temporarily obscure it. At heart, you are a being whose pristine nature is nothing other than pure, great love and pure, great compassion. Mine too!
