In a lengthy text post, Bloom—who is currently in Shanghai—shared a quote from Daisaku Ikeda, a famed 88-year-old Buddhist philosopher, anti-nuclear activist, who served as a leader of the [Soka Gakkai religious movement](http://content.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,133970,00.html?iid=sr-link2). “The times are changing from the age where power is justice to the age where justice is power,” the statement begins, ending with: “It will be an age in which the actions of leaders will naturally be based on the guideline of making all mothers happy.” In his caption, Bloom credited the quote to Ikeda and added, “Let’s make ALL mothers happy!” The maternal-power post was re-grammed by none other [than Madonna herself](https://www.instagram.com/p/BK2kU6dBQ1T/?taken-by=madonna), which is oddly fitting given the subject matter. (Her name _is_ Madonna, after all.) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4509450/orlando-bloom-philosophy-on-mothers/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4509450/orlando-bloom-philosophy-on-mothers/"},"headline":"Orlando Bloom Wants Leaders to Focus on Making All Mothers Happy","datePublished":"2016-09-27T16:13:24.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:37:02.217Z","description":"\"Let's make ALL mothers happy!\"","url":"https://time.com/4509450/orlando-bloom-philosophy-on-mothers/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Entertainment","celebrities"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Raisa Bruner","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4509450/orlando-bloom-philosophy-on-mothers/","name":"Orlando Bloom Wants Leaders to Focus on Making All Mothers Happy"}}]}] ```
