Vipassana Teacher S.N. Goenka mentioned gratitude to be an indicator of progress on the path of Dhamma. As one progresses on the path, one starts to appreciate the gift of Dhamma more and more, gaining awareness of the value of it and of the effort the Buddha and the Sangha made in order for us to receive it.
In the discourse on day 10 of a Vipassana course Goenkaji says: "… along with the experience of Dhamma there is bound to grow a feeling of gratitude to Gotama the Buddha for finding and teaching this technique, and gratitude as well to those who selflessly strove to maintain the teaching in its original purity through twenty-five centuries to the present day."
