The Mother of Great Kindness within the House : หน้า 39/207

Despite the behavior of one spouse, one should never waver from the Dhamma. Occasionally, the husband may go astray or the wife will resort to frivolous behavior, wasting time and money, leaving the house in shambles. The right way to resolve this conflict is to keep doing good, take good care of the other, and maintaining one's own goodness. Doing so will make the situation improve. ----------------------------------- Chapter 4 The Mother of Great Kindness within the House Buddhism contains teachings on ways to maintain a warm, gentle family that have been used as a reference by people for thousands of years. It is also certain that many modern theories about family dynamics can be found in Buddhist doctrine. Moreover, Buddhist texts contain an even more thorough understanding of family dynamics than today's theories. The points contained in *Ten Suggestions from a Father to His Daughter on Her Wedding Day* resulted in a daughter becoming an important figure in her husband's family. Her husband, his parents, and his relatives gave her love, respect, and kindness. She eventually became known and praised as **The Mother of Great Kindness within the House.**
