The Daishonin encourages us to be
"filial towards our father and mother."*
A person who can repay their debt of gratitude
A person who can repay their debt of gratitude
to their parents is indeed a truly great person.
Through what we say and do
Through what we say and do
let's do all we can to convey our appreciation to our parents.

"In our blocks and districts, we find the very essence of Buddhist practice. We find a realm of encouragement and support that characterises the people-centred Buddhism of Nichiren Daishonin, as well as a preeminent model for a human community that can illuminate the future.

"The Daishonin writes: 'All those who keep faith in the Lotus Sutra are most certainly Buddhas' (WND-1, 756); and '[The Lotus Sutra] says [regarding a person who accepts and upholds this sutra], "You should rise and greet him from afar, showing him the same respect you would a Buddha" [LSOC28, 365]. You should respect one another [as Buddhas]' (WND-1, 757)."
