Wisdom of the Day 20100603
The family is the most fundamental unit in society. If it is ruled by peace and human values, then not only will parents live happily and free of tension, but their children and grandchildren will too, and even generations after that. If they have a religious faith, their children will naturally be drawn to this. If they speak politely to each other and behave "ethically", love each other and have mutual respect, If they help those in need and show concern for the world around them, it is highly likely that their children will follow suit and become responsible people.
On the other hand, if the mother and father are continuously fighting and insulting each other, if they just do whatever comes into their heads without thinking of others, then not only will they never be happy themselves, but their children will inevitably fall victim to their influence.
"Ethically"
To behave ethically, in the Buddhist sense that the Dalai Lama is referring to here, means to refrain from doing anything that might harm others.

Welcome to the Aikijudo-Jitsu™ Blog
Hello! Welcome to the Aikijudo-Jitsu BLOG.
I invite you to read through the posts, and hope that you will receive some benefit from these words. I hope to be joined by my peers in passing along the wisdom inherited from those before us, onto the next generations of individuals of like mind. If successful, it is my sincere hope that this BLOG will become a free repository of wisdom for all to share.
If you feel the desire to reply to a post, please do so after careful and thoughtful reflection. As with any philisophical discussion, we must always be mindful and respectful of other's thoughts, ideas, and opinions. Our realities are each unique and subjective, and therefore we must be patient and respectfull of each other if we are to grow as individuals.
Onegaishimasu,
