One Day a Cat Came to Me

This is a new book. Condition: Brand New.

THE UPLIFTING INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER: A stunning book for cat lovers and seekers of wisdom and inspiration.
'Everything, upon a closer look, has its own reason for existing.'

After more than a decade at a bustling city temple in Seoul, Bokyeong Sunim - the Venerable Bokyeong - moves to a rural mountain temple where, in the depths of winter, an unexpected guest appears on his doorstep: a ginger-and-white cat.

Their everyday interactions unfold into generous and life-affirming meditations on cats, companionship, patience, the fleetingness of time, and the satisfactions and challenges of different ways of seeing the world.

Drawing on years of learning, reflection and the Venerable Bokyeong's own practice, One Day a Cat Came to Me blends philosophy, mindfulness and connection with nature, powerfully capturing the essence of life in the company of others.

"An enchanting book, it deserves a huge readership. I loved it" - Joanna Lumley
