Cultivating Gratitude

The Buddha encouraged us to think of the good things done for us by our parents, by our teachers, friends, whomever; and to do this intentionally, to cultivate it, rather than just letting it happen accidentally.

—Ajahn Sumedho, “The Gift of Gratitude”

The Practice of Gratitude

The practice of gratitude brings us directly to the heart of the Buddha’s teachings.

It is the attitude that in each moment, being human itself is a spiritual experience.
