感恩別人是我們內心的真實需求，是讓自己身心安寧的需求

很多人之所以沒有感恩之心，是由於被貪、嗔、痴的煩惱所蒙蔽。貪心讓我們把接受和索取當成一種習慣，不會想起感恩；嗔心讓我們只看到別人對我們造成的傷害，忘記了別人曾對我們的幫助；痴心讓我們只執著於自己，不會思考自己的生命為什麼延續。The reason why many people are not grateful is that they fall under the spell of greed, anger and ignorance. When we are greedy, we turn requesting and receiving into a habit ─ without any appreciation. Anger makes us mindful only of how others harm us, but forgetful of the favors we receive. Ignorance makes us care only about ourselves, but never think about the reasons for the continuation of our lives.我們要學會感恩，感恩父母，感恩師友，感恩社會，我們因他們的付出得以生存和發展。感恩別人是我們內心的真實需求，是讓自己身心安寧的需求。We should learn to be grateful for the help we』ve received ─ from our parents, teachers, friends, and society. Without their help, we cannot survive or thrive. Being grateful to others is our true desire: a desire that leads to a peaceful body and mind. ---學誠大和尚《生命時報》專欄
