Buddhism for Pet Lovers: Supporting our Closest Companions through Life and Death
£6.70
The bonds we share with our pets go beyond words and are often deeper than many of our human relationships. What is the nature of these close connections? And what if our influence on pets, both in life and especially through sickness and death, is far more powerful than we ever conceived?David Michie draws on ancient Buddhist wisdom, supported by contemporary science, to provide fascinating insights into animal consciousness. He proposes that the pets with whom we share our lives are not there by accident. Whether your animal companion has fur, feathers or fins, he offers a treasury of practical tools to enhance your relationship with them in everyday life, as well as during times of challenge.Written with humour and compassion, and including extraordinary true stories from around the world, Buddhism for Pet Lovers reveals how our animal companions may indeed be among our most precious partners. For in helping them, our own lives are incomparably enriched too.’If you have ever deeply loved an animal, this is, without doubt, the book for you.’ Gail Pope, BrightHaven’Our pets offer us one of our greatest opportunities to add compassion to the world. This book helps direct us to a path toward the blossoming of that opportunity.’ Carl Safina, author of Beyond Words, and What Animals Think and Feel

I am still reading this the first few chapters felt like something you just had to get through before the author started to speak more directly to Buddhist principles.

A wonderful insightful book that has been such a help to me after the death of my dog. My life with my two remaining dogs is now enriched from the practices I have adopted from the teachings in this beautiful book
by H. Drakes
So much of this was about my own learning as well as what I can do for my animals. I see death and rebirth differently now. I’ll question my steps and always look for good for others.
Easy to read and a positive outcome for my beloved animals.

I left this book somewhere. I hope whoever found it, loved it as much as I did. I bought another copy so that I could finish it.

When the book arrived, it looked like it had been stuck or something. You can still see it a little bit, but it wasn’t torn or anything, so it’s okay. I put something heavy on it for a few days and now it looks fine.
I am a big fan of David Michie and am very happy Amazon sent this to Belgium.
