For Today and Tomorrow Daily Encouragement by Daisaku Ikeda When parents exert themselves in the way of faith, they can lead their children to happiness without fail. Likewise, the attainment of Buddhahood of the child guarantees the attainment of Buddhahood of the parents. One lighthouse illuminates the way for many ships to steer a course safely through uncertain waters. In the same way, people with strong and committed faith shine as a beacons of hope for their family and relatives.
Same guidance as above it happens to fall on the same day ...important enough to repeat it. We don't often have a leap day.

From the Writings of Nichiren Daishonin In the end it is nothing other than the loving kindness with which the woman cares for her child that makes the difference. Her concern concentrates on one thing just like the Buddhist practice of concentration. She thinks of nothing but her child, which is similar to Buddhist compassion. That must be why, although she created no other causes to bring it about, she was reborn in the Brahma heaven. The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, page 283
