Shinspiration: Gratitude the Gateway to Happiness

Modern psychology is finding that grateful people are actually happier people. People nowadays are constantly in search of finding that elusive thing called “happiness” and are now learning that the key to happiness is just to be a grateful person. In Shin Buddhism, it is not so much that we “should” be a grateful person, but having encountered the teachings, one cannot “help” but be grateful.
