Review quotes:
“A truly wonderful little book, made with joy. Love and gratitude to all its subscribers, offering us many and varied Dharma lessons and opportunities to practise.”
Angie Searle, True Solid Practice
Lay Dharma Teacher
“Doggie Dharma’ is an utterly charming, humorous and moving book. It serves as a reminder that our furry friends are wise, compassionate teachers who show us how to approach each day fully present in the moment, with joy in our hearts.”
Lorna Howarth, author of Sandpaper for the Soul
“The book celebrates the special privilege of sharing a period of your life with a dog. We can learn so much from being with, and paying attention to, non-human animals. Contributors to the book share how the dogs in their life have taught them about being in the present moment, opening their hearts, being happy with what they have, and the inspiration of being playful, joyful, friendly, and trusting. A delightful and heart warming book evoking connection, gratitude and joy.”
Jane Coatesworth, True Flower of Awakening
Lay Dharma Teacher
