A grateful ox

2An ox would be killed. When a Theravada Buddhist monk in Sri. lanka, Asia saw it, he bought it. Then the ox respected the monk, Even though animals know to be grateful, human beings should be careful to be grateful, shouldn't they be? Gratitude(katannuta) is one of (38) supreme blessings(Mangalas) in Buddhism. Many Buddhists in Myanmar(Burma) abstain eating meat of ox, cow and buffalo. Venerable Ledy Sayadaw taught people to avoid eating meat because they help people to harrow  fields to cultivate crops. Gratitude provides the world  beautifully and happily. Boddhi satta (Future-Buddha) was the most grateful because he wanted  all sentient beings who were his parents in past life  to free from cycle of birth and death (Samsara) and he decided to become The Buddha.To become the Buddha he had to practice The Ten Perfections(Dasa Parami) such as Generosity(Dana) Morality(sila) Renunciation(Nekkhama) etc.If A person who is grateful to  one should be been grateful, he will succeeds  his purpose easily and progress in his life.
