Dharma Cats

by Judy Taylor

Overview

Life with cats is full of warm purrs and fur. Yet, sometimes their antics can drive us to hissy fits, while their death can plunge us into the deepest despair. Through it all, we may learn a lot about the dharma. Dharma Cats shows us how to embrace the fullness of cat companionship while keeping both feet firmly planted in our practice. Through engaging stories and charming illustrations about cats in the author's life, Dharma Cats explores such time-honored Buddhist concepts as impermanence, compassion, mindfulness, and meditation. Read this book to explore what cats can teach us about living mindfully.
