The Dalai Lama's Cat

by David Michie

“It’s better not to force these things. I’m sure something will present itself as we get to know her better.”

“Sometimes our instinct, our negative conditioning, can be overpowering. Later we regret very much what we have done. But that is no reason to give up on yourself—the buddhas, they have not given up on you. Instead, learn from your mistake and move on. Like that.”
