Gratefulness
By not using them for my own selfish purposes. By sharing. Without any ulterior motives or desires of recognition.
I saw the beauty and love in manda’s posts. For herself and others.
???? ???????? ????☯️ By following these six great principles (which are not easy to follow at all times):
“The Six Great Principles are six bright paths. They are also known as six kinds of wisdom, six kinds of demon-quelling pestles, and six kinds of monster-spotting mirrors.

Well if a situation arises where I can, I will. Outside of an unknown future event, I will be dedicating merits from spiritual cultivation to all living beings. Not just on the face of our planet but in the entire universe. I will post a couple videos in the lounge if that sounds strange to you. (????No I’m not a UFO/alien weirdo ????!)
Sarcasm is great fun. As long it is not bringing anyone down or annoying, a sharp wit arouses great delight and energy!
Oh man. Teenage boys. Can be the worst. If they aren’t well trained. Tamed by a superior role model. Society (the “profit monsters” in certain entertainment industries) targets this demographic in the most destructively subliminal ways that can impact the rest of their lives horribly wrong.
Sorry if that sounds mean!
I have to tell the truth for their own good!
I see. I like the idea. I started sending ecards from here to my parents. I plan on bestowing gifts to some friends to repay much kindness they have shown me in the past. I don’t see myself doing this regularly with anyone other than my parents.
I feel that leaving some space between sends allows the cards to be fresh. I am not sure I will keep doing this but I plan on supplying them with Chinese herbs for the rest of their lives for what they have given me. I am sure a dee...
I feel that leaving some space between sends allows the cards to be fresh. I am not sure I will keep doing this but I plan on supplying them with Chinese herbs for the rest of their lives for what they have given me. I am sure a deeper spiritual payback is in order to fulfill my debt of filiality owed to them but all will be accomplished in time I suppose.
Happy Early Halloween Francine! ???? ???? ????

Well said! By both Jesus and You!
That’s so wonderful Francine!
Gratefulness was nonexistent for me growing up. Even though I was spoiled by wealthy parents. They satisfied my material desires but I am afraid that did not aid me growing into a grateful adult. I don’t blame them at all. I am just grateful to have become aware now how important gratitude is and it needs to be developed over time or else more negative qualities will develop on their own.
A good start it is! Grate!
I don’t usually follow/read replies but I came back to see if you responded as I didn’t select to be notified. I am guilty of not reading replies since I have been using this site but I am gonna stop that. So assuming you are guilty too I won’t hold it against you if you don’t spill any sauce on me here!
I’ll try to maintain composure in there. Cannot promise anything.
Intense. Do you actually send the letters or keep them private?
Inside out modeling? Hehe.
I like it. A simple and powerful recipe.
Great material thanks Ed!
Resentment really is its opposite. I was thinking greed is, but what does greed turn into if it isn’t transformed into gratitude? Resentment. I find greed, anger, and delusion feed into each other and are truly poisonous energies that work in opposition to grateful living. The louder the darkness calls out, the more light you need to bring in RIGHT AWAY or else it will grow. I learned this painfully today by allowing greed to turn into resentment, it all happened like bombs going o...
Resentment really is its opposite. I was thinking greed is, but what does greed turn into if it isn’t transformed into gratitude? Resentment. I find greed, anger, and delusion feed into each other and are truly poisonous energies that work in opposition to grateful living. The louder the darkness calls out, the more light you need to bring in RIGHT AWAY or else it will grow. I learned this painfully today by allowing greed to turn into resentment, it all happened like bombs going off and once the greed led to the flames of anger the darkness overtook me and I couldn’t shake it off, not until now but at least it is gone before I am going to sleep. I introduced light that I should have introduced nearly 12 hours ago to dispel the darkness of greed, anger, and delusion.
