GUIDED MEDITATION: Gratitude - Count Your Blessings

In this guided meditation, Ajahn Dhammasiha encourages us to recollect those fundamental things we usually take for granted, but which are in reality great blessings. Instead of having a long list of complaints, let us consider what we have to be grateful for, e.g.:Born as a human beingIn a peaceful, wealthy country like AustraliaIn reasonable good health with unimpaired mental facultiesAt a time when the teaching of Buddha is still availableWhere we have 'Kalyaṇa-Mitta' (good spiritual friends)And Forest MonasteriesAnd we have at least some confidence/faith in the Triple Gem...When we count our blessings, we feel contenment, satisfaction and joy in our meditation, and the mind can settle down easily.www.dhammagiri.org.auwww.facebook.com/dhammagiri-forest-hermitagewww.youtube.com/channel/UCJINt0JJBfFm_x0FZcU9QJwwww.tinyletter.com/dhammagiri/archive
