My interest in Buddhism and in the Dalai Lama, together with my adoption two months ago of a darling year-old cat, prompted me to read this new novel "The Dalai Lama's Cat" by David Michie. A resident of Australia, Michie has written a number of popular introductions to Buddhism with titles such as "Buddhism for Busy People" and "Enlightenment on the Go." His novel has an appealing surface simplicity and accessibility.

What is known is that purring can offer a calming effect on cats during stress (such as during a trip to the Vet), or when they are showing Metta (loving-kindness) to their human (or as they call them, their ‘novice’ monk). It has even been recently discovered that the actual frequency that cats purr is therapeutic. That it can actually heal. That’s amazing!

Here’s what is interesting: it is said that when someone achieves enlightenment, they eat when they are hungry, and sleep when they are tried. Sound like a cat to you? It sure did to me. My first experience with Buddhism and Cats happened when one of my former cats, Tara (appropriately named), was discovered on my zafu (meditation cushion).

Nu înțeleg cum cineva poate crede că un om poate deține secretele vieții și știe cum trebuie să trăim toți. Mai bine tac.

Bodhisattva Cat would be a solid anti-Floating unit if not for the existence of Bishop Cat, whose True Form, Sanzo Cat, does everything Bodhisattva Cat does and more. Bodhisattva may have the higher stats, but when it comes to stalling Floating enemies, there's just no beating Sanzo's spammability. Take a laser pointer, a cat’s most favorite toy in the world. The cat is enlightened enough to know that it’s not really a bug that’s zipping around the floor…they see the device in your hand. But as soon as they know this, they still enjoy chasing that bright light on the ground. But why? Doctrina unui Buddha etern nu este, în orice caz, o trăsătură a budismului Theravada. Bătrânii Școlii de Budism, care susține că păstrează învățăturile originale ale lui Buddha încă de la primul mare recital (al doilea a condus la divizarea în Theravada și Mahayana), pun mare valoare pe cuvintele Maestrului că 'nimeni nu este etern', și cred că până și viața celor luminați are, într-adevăr, un sfârșit. The Sovereign All-Creating Mind: The Motherly Buddha (Sri Satguru Publications, Delhi 1992), tr. by E.K. Neumaier-DargyayWhen I finished the book I desperately wanted it to keep going. I do love where the story leaves us but I could not get enough of these characters. If anything, I would have loved to have seen more of the setting. Evidently, we are limited to do this because of our narrator being a cat who does not venture too far from her home, but it would have been lovely to explore some of the beautiful areas that were nearby.
