Description
There once was a cat that died a million times and lived a million times. Kings, sailors, magicians, thieves, old women, little girls... a million people loved that cat, and a million people cried when the cat died. One day, the cat became a stray, belonging to no one. The cat, who loved himself very much, was spoiled by female cats and became overjoyed, but then he was captivated by a beautiful white cat. Eventually, he had children and gained a family that was more important to him than show more himself. And then... the cat, who had never felt sadness even after dying a million times, learned what it meant to love for the first time, and cried when he lost the one he loved. show lessTags

Pequeña historia acerca de, como puede adivinarse, un gato que ha vivido (y muerto) un millón de veces. Podría tomarse como un simbolismo para el camino que lleva por el Samsara al Nirvana.
Tal vez no sea la lectura más apropiada para niños pequeños; al menos para aquellos con una crianza occidental. Al fin y al cabo, como bien señalaba Miguel Serrano, los hindúes encarnan 5000 veces; los de este lado del mundo, solo una.
