On this Father’s Day, we pause to recollect with gratitude the quiet strength, care and sacrifices of our fathers and father-figures.  In their steadfast efforts to provide, protect and guide, we witness qualities of patience, generosity and responsibility that nurture both family and society.

May we take this opportunity to express our appreciation, to care for them with kindness, and to cultivate these wholesome qualities within ourselves.  Wishing all fathers good health, peace and joy — may your merits continue to grow, and may your hearts be filled with ease.
