"If you ever doubted that your feline companion has her own inner life, just watch what happens when she falls asleep, and loses conscious control of her physical being . . . a twitching of limbs, a quivering of the jaw, sometimes, perhaps, a snuffling noise or a meow.. . . Cats may indeed be capable of great mindfulness, but we are thinking beings too. In my own case, unfortunately, a being who thinks rather too much." In the latest installment of the Dalai Lama’s Cat series, His Holiness’s Cat ("HHC") is on a mission: to think less, to experience more, to live in the moment. She soon learns the proper phrase for this, being mindful, or, a concept better known to her as the power of meow. What ensues is a journey to discover her own true nature, to gain a deeper understanding of her mind, and to experience life’s greatest joy, the here and now. Throughout, there are encounters with familiar inhabitants of Dharamsala, as well as a whole new cast of characters: a senior exec from one of Silicon Valley’s most famous social media companies (hint: the name rhymes with "litter"), the Pope’s beloved dog (who shares a shockingly similar title: HHD, His Holiness’s Dog), and a public health inspector who threatens to have our poor narrator banned from the Himalaya Book Café. In this follow-up to the Dalai Lama’s Cat and the Art of Purring, readers escape to the enchanting and exotic world of the Dalai Lama’s monastery in the Himalayas, and take a peek inside the mind of a delightfully imperfect creature on the path to enlightenment. By accompanying HHC on her journey, you will learn new ways to relate to your own mind: slowing down, finding peace, and abiding in the boundless radiance and benevolence that is your own true nature.

Heather Jones, an unassuming and typical young woman, lived through a remarkable year that coincided with the dawn of a new decade. The year 1970 was rife with significant events that would shape the course of history. Among these noteworthy occurrences, President Richard Nixon signed the National Environmental Policy Act on January 1, while the Boeing 747, also known as the jumbo jet, made its inaugural commercial flight from New York to London on January 21. NASA's Apollo 13 Moon Mission also captivated the world's attention after the crew's safe return to Earth on April 13, following a harrowing oxygen tank explosion that necessitated the mission's abandonment. Moreover, Americans commemorated the first-ever Earth Day on April 22, while the United States undertook the controversial invasion of Cambodia on April 29. Despite the momentous events that unfolded throughout the year, Heather Jones remained an ordinary, yet fortunate young lady.
