Fathers are often the unsung heroes in the family.  In their roles as the provider, protector, patriarch and leader, fathers set the foundation that grounds us so that we can face challenges courageously.  Children who are supported by mothers and fathers are indeed blessed.  And the Buddha also taught that those who support their parents are equally blessed.

So let us reflect with gratitude everything that our parents have done for us out of great compassion, and repay their kindness by supporting them in return wherever we can.  On this Father’s Day, we wish all dads the blessings of good health, peace and happiness.  “Happy Father’s Day”!
