Count Your Blessings | Buddhism | Dhamma Talk | Ajahn Dhammasiha | Dhammagiri

On Mahapavāraṇā Full Moon, which ends the annual Rains Retreat period for Buddhist monks, Ajahn Dhammasiha reflects on the many blessings we receive here at Dhammagiri.
It is rare to be born as a human being.
It is rare to be born when the teaching of the Buddha is available
It is rare to have a Forest Monastery like Dhammagiri, with such excellent conditions for meditative practice
(...)
Reflecting on all the good things we can be grateful for doesn't mean denying all the bad things happening in the world. However, if we're only focussed on the bad stuff, our mind is in danger to become angry of depressed.
If we acknowledge all the good things we receive, our mind will be uplifted and joyful.
