Buddhism in Daily Life by Daisaku Ikeda

Buddhism Day by Day for 5 July

Having the energy to argue is a sign of good health! When the two people in a relationship share simi-lar conditions, it is only natural that they will lock horns from time to time. On the other hand, if one party begins to outgrow the other, then the two will probably not have serious confrontations, because their states of life are so different. It would be great if we could live cheerfully, enjoying life to the extent that we regard our partner's nagging as a sign of his or her good health and proof that he or she is still alive and kicking. When we develop a broad state of life, then even our partner's ranting and raving will sound like the sweet song of a bird.

A Tribute to Mothers

What is a Mother?

All mothers are rich when they love their children. There are no poor mothers, no ugly ones, no old ones. Their love is always the most beautiful of joys. ----- Maurice Maeterlinck (1862 - 1949).
