Awakening As Gratitude

from Dharmabytes from free buddhist audio Hosted by Free Buddhist Audio

There's a story about the Buddha bowing to the tree under which he has just gained Enlightenment. Inspired by this this story, Vajragupta sees the whole path to Awakening in terms of gratitude. The grasping mind cannot feel grateful. But the Awakened know and feel just how deeply they are supported and enabled by other people, other life, and conditions in the world around them. Excerpted from the talk entitled Awakening As Gratitude given at Croydon Buddhist Centre, 2025. *** Help us keep FBA Podcasts free for everyone!
