The Power of Gratitude

 
The power of light, electricity, attraction, and communication
are all supported by
and within your One Mind.
Water has life, and so does fire,
everything has life.
Those powers naturally arise when you become one
and truly work together with the life of everything in the world.

If you understand that your body is the basis of all those abilities,
then you would naturally be grateful for the source of your body,
your fundamental mind.
If you are grateful,
grateful for your root,
the entire universe and Dharma realm feel that gratitude,
and move and work together
and manifest your intentions into the phenomenal world.
The entire universe looks after you;
is there anything that can`t be done?

When you have deep faith that your Juingong,
which has no fixed shape or form,
is the only thing
that can truly take care of the things you face,
this faith will invigorate your root.
Because your root is free of rot
there will be no rot in the branches.
Flowers will blossom and fruit in infinite variety will ripen.
It is all up to you.
All of this happens because
everything works together as one.
