On Repaying Debts of Gratitude

Daily Wisdom
From the Writings of Nichiren Daishonin
Saturday, July 21, 2012:
 
What can we say, then, of persons who are devoting themselves to Buddhism? Surely they should not forget the debts of gratitude they owe to their parents, their teachers and their country. But if one intends to repay these great debts of gratitude, one can hope to do so only if one learns and masters Buddhism, becoming a person of wisdom.
