Zen 17: gratitude seems insignificant, but in fact it is powerful.
First of all, gratitude is the only salvation.

Kazuo inamori said: Human beings live in an endless universe. Only when we are grateful for everything can we be saved.

In Japan, Shinto rituals must include two kinds of sacrificial ceremonies: moon sacrifice and thank-you sacrifice. Tsukiji

Sacrifice is a sacrifice to the gods, in order to save those who suffer karma and karma, while apology sacrifice is to express gratitude to the gods. These two sacrifices are indispensable.

The souls of those who lack gratitude and ingratitude cannot grow.

Second, gratitude contains great power.

Kazuo inamori said: When I was just sensible, adults taught me to recite "Nanwu, Nanwu, thank you very much" at any time to thank the Buddha for giving me life. "Nanwu" means Nanwu Amitabha. Although I didn't know anything about it when I was a child, I have been reciting it carefully at that time, and now I will read a few sentences from time to time.

However, it may be very important for us. For example, in the current bad economic situation, many people have lost their jobs, and many business operators are distressed by the lack of funds. However, I believe that even in this predicament, those who are noble in heart and can still be grateful for life will be saved.

I hope as many people as possible can realize that gratitude seems insignificant, but it actually has great power.

Third, we should cultivate gratitude.

It is precisely because of Mr. kazuo inamori's family education when he was a child that he naturally showed this kind of mind. These teachings have been integrated into your soul. On the other hand, most parents nowadays lack education and gratitude, and all they teach their children are selfish things. More and more parents will only let their children go to good schools, good companies and get high salaries.

As long as we are deprived of oxygen for 5 minutes, we will die, and we can't live without water. If all living beings can understand these facts and realize the fragility of their own existence, they will naturally be grateful for everything we have obtained.

The world is not made up of transcendental beings like God, but of many mortals gathered together. If there were no farmers to farm, we could not even eat. Therefore, we need an education that can cultivate gratitude.

We must give birth to gratitude, prayer, wisdom, creativity and great love, which can integrate all beings. This is the responsibility of everyone, including parents, educators and politicians. Since the defeat of World War II, the whole Japanese society has devoted itself to material enjoyment, and fewer and fewer people have preached gratitude.

However, when the pursuit of material enjoyment reaches the limit, it depends on how we educate all beings now, whether to fight by ourselves or to start praying for God's salvation. In my opinion, more people like Mr. kazuo inamori are needed not only in business, but also in education and politics.

Fourth, embrace the heart of gratitude and get a happy life.

Kazuo inamori said: I believe that if all sentient beings can take what Mr Benshan said as the guideline in their hearts and regulate their daily lives, then they will be blessed by God and live a happy and prosperous life. We have no doubt about it.

As for parenting, parents must teach their children well from an early age.

Everyone has a soul, so even if children don't understand the meaning, parents' teaching will inevitably be absorbed by children's souls in different dimensions as instinct. Then when children grow up, these primitive teachings will inevitably be reflected in their thoughts and actions.

In view of this, both parents' education and school education should aim at making the educated realize their souls and give full play to their love, wisdom and creativity, so as to serve all beings.
