Great page and love the info...
I know everyone us busy these days. I see you and i joined the group about parenting. i read you have an 18 year old. my son is 14 years old and at this moment all his grades are 75 and BELOW. I really do believe that this situation is trying to teach us as parents in our buddhist practice something BUT i'm not figuring it out right now. I've talk with a senior in faith a wd who i trust the must about it and she says that this is trying to teach us as parents to unite together. She knows our family situation more than anyone else. my mother also lives with us and of course our son brandon at times feels like he has two mothers. I am at the present time reading mrs. ikeda's book seeking for advice.
i've been practicing since i was little and my husband and i are leaders in the org. my mother is a pioneer in this area where we live. we've lived here for 45 years old....so we do know the a bit about our practice and i realize that no matter what we won't have a life with struggles. They are opporuntities to develop as a individual to create value in our lives as well as others.
have you had struggles with your son with grades. my son does go to meetings and does gongyo every morning and he's planning to go to his very first sgi activity away from home which is the jh/hs sua conference. I'll be traveling with him to ca but then i'll stay @ my sisters while he's at the conf. after the conf. we'll be spending a week with my sis.
sorry for such a long post. but since i see you've been practicing a long time also and have an 18 yr old i'd like to hear your experience in raising your son. does he practice?
take care,
kumi
I wish we could also have an SGI youth exchange meetings from different countries so we can also share and learn from them....
We have this annually in the Philiipines and every year we hold it in different regions (places)...
Thank you..
I am so glad that you joined in to The Buddha and the Parenting group!
And thanks for sharing all these photos; they were great! It's always so nice to see pictures from discussion meetings and cultural festivals. People are just radiating : )
