For most of us, our lives are dominated with messages that reduce our worth to productivity, exhaust us with constant comparisons and competitions, and trap us in a ruthless cycle of praise and blame. This simple chant from the Buddhist tradition - \\u2018My very life is sustained through the gifts of others\\u2019 - invites us to reflect on how we relate to life, one another, and the earth with more gratitude, open-heartedness, and joy.
