45
Food and drink, free for the labor,
are the proper business
of humans; she strives to make
gratitude her main possession
She grows more vegetables than she needs and puts herself in a position to give some away, thus paying her debt of gratitude.
The Buddhist path itself is understood as something that brings gratitude and joy.
-- Paula Arai, Women Living Zen 151
