This talk was given on Thanksgiving expressing gratitude for the human
heart's capacity for love and understanding. The preciousness of a
human life lies in the potential of our hearts to be transformed. How
can we forgive our lives so that we'll have a completely loving heart?
It is said that there are two rare and precious beings in this world; one who is generous and one who feels gratitude. This talk is about how these qualities bring to our daily lives more happiness, and how generosity
