The Force of Gratitude
Gratitude
is a way of undercutting your ego—that is, it is a way of being
Buddhist. It really goes back to interdependence and those basic
Buddhist concepts. There is an awareness that we get now and then about
what we owe to others, and Shinran feels that that should become the
moving force of one’s life. Then the egoism kind of takes care of
itself.
