-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The Daishonin reminds us to
"in the course of a day one
at least smiles twice or thrice
in their direction."*
Let's give our parents a smile
Let's give our parents a smile
every time we see them.
That in itself is an admirable expression
That in itself is an admirable expression
of our appreciation of them.
Let's live out our lives
Let's live out our lives
repaying the debts of our gratitude
to all the people
who have assisted us
in various different ways!
*"First, being filial towards one's father and mother means that though a parent may act unreasonably or speak in a tone of ill will, one never shows the slightest anger or looks displeased. One never in any way disobeys a parent; is always mindful of providing a parent with all manner of good things, and if this happens to be impossible, in the course of a day one at least smiles twice or thrice in their direction."
