We Are What We Think
KOAN:
The Buddha said,
“We are what we think,
all that we are arises with our thoughts,
with our thoughts we make the world.”
—from the Dhammapada
What Are the Practices of Gratitude?
“Gratitude is something that I haven’t planned on—either to receive or to give—it takes me by surprise. It arrives out of nowhere. It’s the part of happiness that is beyond selfishness. My gratitude doesn’t have a lot of discrimination, and I like that.”
