June 10th

Peace and prosperity within a family does not imply the complete absence of worries or hardships. Even at a time when the worst of storms are raging, as long as the light of the sun is shining brightly, it's alright. A mother is that very light of the sun for the family.

- Daisaku Ikeda

我が家の平和といっても、苦労や悩みが何もない状態ではない。どんな嵐のような時であっても、家族のなかに太陽が輝いていれば、よいのです。その一家の太陽こそ、お母さんです。
