True Happiness (July 18, 2006)

i have brought  my grandchildren with me to sydney for their summer holidays (in hongkong).  to help the youngest one to acclimatize, i made them sleep in my bedroom for a few days.

a couple of days ago, when i went upstairs to sleep, i saw my loving husband sleeping in bed, my three lovely grandchildren sleeping together on the mattresses on the floor, and my beautiful dog (a maltese (sp?)) sleeping under the couch, i suddenly realized what true happiness is,  this happiness and satisfaction is coming from the bottom of my heart. how i thank the gohonzon, how i thank my buddhist practice, i sure have come a long long way.

cheers
