The Cat Who Went to Heaven - Review Questions

Please answer these questions on a sheet of looseleaf paper.

1. How many days does the artist spend thinking about the Buddha's life, before he understands what the Buddha should look like?


2. After he paints the Buddha (and before he starts painting the animals), what (or who) does he paint next?


3. How do the snails protect the Buddha?


4. In his painting of the Buddha, what are the animals actually doing?


5. In some of her songs, the housekeeper feels proud about ways that she is contributing to the artist's work (even though she is not actually painting). What are two activities that she mentions as being helpful?


6. In the Eighth Song of the Housekeeper, what does she mean when she says "The mercy of the Buddha has no end"?

I hope you enjoy these "majestic" sketches by A&D Artistry, Inc.

The Cat Who Went to Heaven is reminding me of some very kind and generous behaviors that I witnessed when you interacted with Chapel Buddies in December.
