Living in a Grateful World

Well, my Dad gave me a chart with the above-mentioned title. I find the content to be quite useful (personally, i agree with what is written on top, though these are the buddha's saying.)

(1) Be grateful to those who have hurt ot harmed you, for they have reinforced your determinations.

(2) Be grateful to those who have deceived you, for they have deepened your insights.

(3) Be grateful to those who have hit you, for they have reduced your karmic obstacles.

(4) Be grateful to those who have abandoned you, for they have taught you to be independent.

(5) Be grateful to those who have made you stumble, for they have strengthened your ability.

(6) Be grateful to those who have denounced you, for they have increased your wisdom and concentration.

(7) Be grateful to those who have made you firm and resolute and helped in your achievement.


(My deepest apologies to those who find this irritating or disturbing, for my intention was to share out what i have learnt and think is good to share out. )
