Gratitude: Count Your Blessings | Guided Buddhist Meditation | Ajahn Dhammasiha | Dhammagiri | Kataññu Katavedi

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, rather let us consider what we have to be grateful for:

• Born as a human being in a peaceful, wealthy country like Australia
  
  


• In reasonable good health with unimpaired mental faculties
  
  


• At a time when the teaching of Buddha is still available
  
  


• When we have 'Kalyaṇa-Mitta' (good spiritual friends)
  
  


• When we have Forest Monasteries
  
  


• And when we have at least some confidence/faith in the Triple Gem
  
  


• (...)
  
  


• ( There are many more, feel free to fill in all the other blessings you can find in your own meditation 😊 )

When we count our blessings, we feel contenment, satisfaction and joy in our meditation, and the mind can settle down easily.
