Daily Wisdom - The Opening of the Eyes

From the Writings of Nichiren Daishonin
Wednesday, February 29, 2012:

In the end it is nothing other than the loving kindness with which the woman cares for her child that makes the difference. Her concern concentrates on one thing just like the Buddhist practice of concentration. She thinks of nothing but her child, which is similar to Buddhist compassion. That must be why, although she created no other causes to bring it about, she was reborn in the Brahma heaven.

The Opening of the Eyes
Written to Shijo Kingo in February 1272
