Oriana LaChance, Rev. Master

It is good to cultivate gratitude, an innate aspect of Buddha Nature. Cultivation doesn’t create gratitude, but rather uncovers the gratitude that is already present.

Gratitude goes beyond dark and light, beyond yes and no, beyond getting our way or not getting our way, beyond having or not having. Gratitude for the ongoing flow of life and that we are part of it, part of the universal. Gratitude for existence when it is sad and when it is joyful. Are we able to be grateful for things just as they are?
