The Path to Gratitude
"We don’t practice to achieve anything—not enlightenment, good karma, a favorable rebirth, or material rewards. We practice simply to give thanks for what we have received." This is a quote from an excellent summary article of Jodo-shinshu Buddhism by Jeff Wilson
Obon Celebration
Yearly summer celebration to remember those who have gone before us and be grateful for those we have now.
