Reflections on Mother's Day

It's Mother's Day and there are Mother's Day messages and songs on mother's to celebrate. On Mother's Day too, let's contemplate the ten types of kindnesses bestowed by the mother on the child:

• Kindness of providing protection and care while the child is in the womb.
• Kindness of bearing suffering during the birth.
• Kindness of forgetting all the pain once the child has been born.
• Kindness of eating the bitter herself and saving the sweet for the child.
• Kindness of moving the child to a dry place and lying in the wet herself.
• Kindness of suckling the child at her breast, nourishing and bringing up the child.
• Kindness of washing away the unclean.
• Kindness of always thinking of the child when it has traveled far.
• Kindness of deep care and devotion.
• Kindness of ultimate pity and sympathy.
