Those serene sages preach the law, all radiant, as being my sons.

According to the Lotus of the True Law, the Buddha speaks tenderly of the Bodhisattvas (those who seek awakening for the good of all): full of energy and wisdom, they pass on the teaching, and he calls them his children, all radiant with light. Today, put your energy at the service of something good and useful, and look at those who do the same with a parent’s tenderness.
