Gratitude (Pāli: kataññūtā) is a quality the Buddha encouraged us to develop. It arises when we remember good things people have done to us or that others have benefited us. We are only alive because countless other beings helped us and benefited us in some way. Starting with our parents who looked after us, without them we would have not even survived and continuing with our friends, teachers and various people in our society. For clothes, living space, food and all skills we have learned we have depended on others. If we remember this gratitude arises which inclines our heart to also do good actions towards others.

A teaching on Dhammapada Verse 204 of the Buddha: Contentmet is the greatest wealth. How can we relate to our material posessions in a skillfull way, so that we use them for a good purpose rather than increasing our defilements? No matter how much you have - you can always want more and have the feeling that you haven't enough yet, even if you already have $ 1 billion. While someone with relatively simple material posessions can feel happy and content already.
