Do you enjoy inspiring quotes and cats? Zen Cats: Meditations for the Wise Minds of Cat Lovers is a book filled with excerpts from Dhammapada and lovable photos of cats.
Dhammapada is a collection of sayings of Buddha in verse form. These verses are relatable to non-Buddhist. Each Buddha’s saying is followed by a pondering message. Another meowsome feature of this book is the cute cat photos. You don’t need to be a cat lover to enjoy Zen Cats. All the adorable cat photos will lead you to appreciate and assimilate the Buddha verses.
Zen Cats inspiring quotes are divided into Five Sections:
Mind and Body, Happiness, Virtue, Truth and Eternity.
Here are a few of our favorite verses:
From Happiness section: verse 45
Him I call indeed enlightened who is bright like the moon, pure, serene, undisturbed, and in whom all gaiety is extinct.
Living serenely, unbothered by daily tribulations, will lead to a more purposeful life.
From Virtue section: verse 47
These wise people, meditative, steady, always possessed of strong powers, attain to Nirvana, the highest happiness.
While many desirable things, like money, can’t promise happiness, pursuing
wisdom and self-control can.
