My religion is very simple. My religion is kindness.

Here is Chia Bunny visiting with the Dalai Lama. They had a wonderful visit together, and the Dalai Lama insisted that they sit together for some portraits (like this one). You can find the rest of their portrait session in this November's issue of TIME magazine.

Chia asked me to leave you all with this quote the Dalai Lama told her:
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.

Hear No Evil, See No Evil, Speak No Evil

Chia Bunny has decided to make the most of her time at Casa Barbato by trying to meet all of the Buddha's and enjoying the Asian influences. Here she is learning great wisdom while meditating with the Three Buddhas. After being inspired by her mom's travels to India, Chia Bunny has decided to go visit her good friend the Dalai Lama. Post to follow soon on her exciting trip!

Curious George

Chia Bunny has been meeting all sorts of people during her stay in Julie's kitchen. This little monkey has been fascinated by watching her sprout! All of her visitors and friends have been so impressed by how quickly and thickly her sprouts are coming in.

Happy Fourth of July!

What's that you say, it's the middle of September and not the fourth of July?!! Okay, maybe you're right but let's just pretend anyways. Chia Bunny spent a fun day at the spa Julie's Kitchen where she greatly enjoyed the bustling activity all around her. In honor of her nation's birthday Chia Bunny included the Statue of Liberty in her soaking therapy. She was so excited about her imminent reseeding!
