David 是第一位与佛教对话的罗马天主教修道士，从1953年开始便开始在冥想、祷告之余，努力找出尘世种种烦恼的解决方案。已经出版多部著作和演讲视频，他的观点无论对于信众或非信众都颇有启迪。
他给出的获得快乐的建议是——心怀感激。“如果你充满感激，你就不会害怕，就不会有暴力；如果你充满感激，你就会有满足感，不会有缺乏感，你就愿意去分享；如果你充满感激，你便会欣赏人与人之间的不同，你就会尊重每一个人，这样就能改变罩在我们头上的权利等级的金字塔，它不会直接带来平等，但它会带来对平等的尊重，这是最重要的，能改变世界。”
有些事情关于我的，是些非常私人的问题 还有一些我知道是你们每一个人最关心的问题有些我们知道关于我们在世界上任何地方遇见的所有人在街上那是他们做某些事
There is something you know about me, something very personal, and there is something I know about every one of you and that's very central to your concerns.
和忍受某些事情 最主要的动力那是他们做某些事，和忍受某些事情 最主要的动力那是他们做某些事，和忍受某些事情最主要的动力那就是
There is something that we know about everyone we meet anywhere in the world, on the street, that is the very mainspring of whatever they doand whatever they put up with.
我们所有人都想要快乐
And that is that all of us want to be happy.
In this, we are all together.How we imagine our happiness, that differs from one another.
就这个问题而言，我们是一样的我们如何想象我们的快乐与别人不同的快乐
but it's already a lot that we have all in common, that we want to be happy.
但是我们最重要的共同点是我们想要变得快乐
我的话题关于感恩 快乐和感恩之间有着怎样的联系？
Now my topic is gratefulness. What is the connection between happiness and gratefulness?
很多人会说，感恩，这很容易，当你快乐的时候，你就心存感激
Many people would say, well, that's very easy. When you are happy, you are grateful.
但是，请再想一想快乐的人是心存感激的，真的是这样吗？
But think again. Is it really the happy people that are grateful?
我们知道，很多人 他们拥有应该令他们感到快乐的东西，但他们并不快乐
We all know quite a number of people who have everything that it would take to be happy.
因为他们想要其他的东西或者他们想要更多自己已有的东西
and they are not happy, because they want something else or they want more of the same.
我们都知道有些遭遇很多不幸的人这些不幸是我们完全不想沾染的但他们却深深地感到快乐他们散播欢乐
And we all know people who have lots of misfortune, misfortune that we ourselves would not want to have, and they are deeply happy. They radiate happiness.
你会感到惊讶为什么？因为他们懂得感恩所以，并不是快乐让我们有感激之情而是感恩之心让我们快乐
You are surprised. Why? Because they are grateful. So it is not happiness that makes us grateful. It's gratefulness that makes us happy.
如果你认为是快乐让你心存感激，再想一想。 是感恩让你快乐。
If you think it's happiness that makes you grateful, think again. It's gratefulness that makes you happy.
