Thank you David for your kind and supporting message.

I keep chanting for their approval and also for their ultimate happiness which I think is in my absolute happiness. But currently I have been very tense about their health as they are in depression and talks about going someone where they dont have to answer someone and say that I have disappointed them as a daughter because I said I would come back to India and get married according to the societal norms and I am not keeping my words. My siblings also feel the same way about me.

Hearing all of this makes me want to change their life condition and improve my relationship with them. I really want to touch their lives with Daimoku. I am determined to see them happy in my happiness. Because I believe love is above all the difference and I know my parents love me a lot.

Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo!!!
