Never thought about gratitude like this as an alternative to reaching for an external resource to soothe myself when craving freedom from dukkha. Thank you

Thank you🙏🏻I’m really enjoying your series. Do you have your podcast published anywhere else? Metta

Beautiful- I’ve done gratitude lists before and I work on daily gratitude but contrasting the two was invaluable. It was easy making the gratitude list and I had to really think about the second column- 3 years ago that would have been the opposite. 🙏🏻 thank you

That was just fabulous. Looking inward to relieve our suffering and to find joy is the pathway to spiritual progress. Thank you.
