The Daisy Sutra just proves that even dogs have Buddha nature. Helen Weaver has created a lovely poignant unique book, a winner through and through. Although cats are far more literate and literary than dogs, Daisy s conversations really did interest me. Remarking that a pet is a lesson in letting go, a home course in Buddhism, Weaver recounts Daisy s last months and her own exploration of interspecies communication. Though at first somewhat skeptical, Weaver called on three different animal communicators before and after Daisy s death and came to believe that they could indeed interpret Daisy s thoughts.
Humans are a strange lot.
They need to be healed. As Weaver relates how Daisy remained her spiritual guide and muse even after her death, readers fascinated by the notion that mysterious forms of communication are possible may find the book gives some credence to claims of interspecies communication. The book concludes with an interview with an animal communicator, a fine section on related books and a list of recommended communicators. Beyond its two clear audiences New Age readers and dog lovers open to the idea of interspecies communication this moving, well written book may sway even a few skeptics. The Daisy Sutra is a heart-warming and compelling personal story that should keep all skeptics on their toes and force them to develop more convincing arguments than Oh, this animal communication stuff just can't be so.
