Love and Family
Then, one day, marking a turning point in
my life, I met the woman who evidently became
my wife. As the days progressed, I discovered
that she was kind and caring. I believed she
acquired these qualities from Buddhism. She
had never refused soliciting from anyone and she
accumulated merit and meditated regularly. One
day, she learnt of the Dhammakaya Meditation
Centre in Tokyo. There were Buddhist monks
from Thailand performing deeds of merit at the
centre. When she returned home, she would
advise me to do the same, but I didn't have that
much faith in Buddhism yet, so I did not take this
matter seriously. However, that did not prevent
me from going to the Centre because I know
Buddhism cultivated and refined her mind.
