The Dalai Lama's Cat & Other Intrigues by David Michie is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber. Dear Readers, It’s been a while since my last update. For newcomers, I like to offer updates on my activities every couple of months with a mid-week email, so as not to interfere with the stories and articles I send you at the weekends.
What a great update! It is so exciting to be part of all of the good we are doing thanks to you David. I have enjoyed and benefitted from each offering and look forward to more. Having mouse size musings from HHC has been delightful! Having you visit the US is also exciting. Your work has been an anchor in my life and I’m glad to be a part of something that is so heart filled and good. Thank you !
$25,000 donated - that’s amazing. 😃Thank you David. It’s wonderful to think of all the lives that are directly and indirectly benefiting from your Substack generosity. 🙏🏼. So happy that we can all play a small part in making this possible.
So much good news this month! The financial success here on Substack, and all the good work it supports. A new book from HHC! (I’m sure I haven’t been alone in wondering if all those chapter length posts were adding up to a book). And a possible trip to the US next year?! Yes, please! So much good ness. Despite the bit of a rough bump with the release of Instant Karma, you’ve done so well, done so much good this past year. Thank you!
Hi everyone, I have read Instant Karma and if you haven’t you are missing a treat. It is about a day where Instant Karma is rewarded and how it affects other people.
Please take this chance to buy it and read it and buy it for your friends to also read. It will change their lives. If only we could have one day of Instant Karma, how different our world would be. However we all know that’s not how Karma works and we have to live a lifetime to see it come true.
It’s a wonderful book and s great story. The Lama used is very much like the Lama I took refuge with. Such a kind joyful soul. I love him dearly.
David thank you for this platform. Please pass it on to the others.
Thrilled that HHC is producing another book. I am missing her, her wisdom and all that she teaches me. Along with your other books and weekend musings of course. Grateful thanks. Julie Shanahan
Great work, David! When I review how I might have helped others (even in a tiny way) at the end of each day, I can add in your worthy causes. Looking forward to the weekend’s instalment 👍🏻😊🙏
David, you may have already been told about the iconic bookstore in Portland (Oregon), but if not, I highly recommend Powell's Books for your possible West Coast sojourn in the US. If nothing else, it is a fun adventure just walking through the store!
And congratulations on raising so much money for worthy good causes on a new platform in such a short time! Amazing to think a year has gone by already!
