Episode 36 - Pointing to Gratitude

We go through life conflating thankfulness and gratitude and I suspect gratitude is something much deeper, more significant. Using some of the Buddha’s teaching, as well as our own experience, we discover that gratitude emerges and flourishes when we surrender to the understanding that we are not self-arisen beings, but the product of the past and present as well as ancestors and all those who helped us become who we are here and now. While we can’t define gratitude, we can point to it and, when cultivated, use it to create more peace in our world.
