I sit here today watching the beautiful, fluffy snowfall in Chicago...basking in the glow of my life, celebrating my incredible good fortune. This is more guidance from the Arts Division FNCC Conference. Enjoy!
Appreciation is what makes people truly human....
Having a spirit of appreciation for someone from whose actions we benefit,
a sense that
'This is the, rarest and noblest thing,"
produces in our hearts
a feeling of pride and self-esteem:
"I am worthy of receiving such goodness."
It provides us with spiritual support to go on living

Because of these people,
I am able to express my art.
When we chant to develop appreciation,
it opens closed parts of our life
to new ways of seeing
that we can't do without appreciation.

The path of the Bodhisattva
lies in supremely humane action.
When we pray,
speak out
and take action
for the happiness of a friend,
the eternal life of the universe
manifests through our thoughts,
words and deeds.
