The Buddha's teachings on gratitude to parents

In the system of Buddhist scriptures, both the South and the transmission of the text of the sutras, paragraphs about the gratitude of the birth of the parents are very touching.

Just as there are pages of the Buddha's teachings to teach the method of moral grace deep deep for couples in the most practical way. It means that the Buddha has just shown how to declare grace, ethics, benefits in the present and future.

Or, to put it more precisely, the Buddha has set the standard for a so-called conniving son to meet both sides of truth and truth. It is the form of external response, is anxious, caring for parents from all material deprivation; Always respect the parents and not be bothered parents. Li is to take care of spiritual life for parents. Help parents develop good heart, cultivate the blessing, follow the right path; is to make parents understand the good news, the deepest message, escape out of superstition, out of reincarnation karmic retribution, achieve peace and liberation in the present and future.

In other words, a good life is goodness, and it is a loving thought. As for the evil, do not cultivate morality is unfilial.

From the Buddhist point of view, good is not killing, not stealing, no sexual misconduct, no lying, no double tongue, no evil words, no frivolity, no greed, no greed, no si , there is right view. The opposite is akusala. The greed, the greed, the dark is the root of evil.

Therefore, people should learn this Dharma clearly see this to know how to apply  the Buddha's teachings  to their own lives, so that every day less greed, anger, si, advancing on the path. To be such a real child is filial.

In Buddhism, the problem of filial piety is mentioned in many of the Pali texts of the original Buddhism and the Transcendental Han Buddhism of the Mahayana sect, such as: the Sutra, the An Ham, the An, the. Hieu Tu, the Center of Geography ...

Here, we collect a few of the many Buddha Dharma talk about gratitude to parents and the way children respond to their parents to share with you.

The Buddha said:

"There is nothing better than filial piety 
. There is nothing worse than filial piety."

(Doctrine of Humiliation)

"From the endless incarnations to now, beings wandering in the path of samsara, leaving this body to recognize another, birth to birth again, breast milk that we have more than water in the four sea."

(Sutra)

"O Bhikkhus, there are two of you who can not repay you, father and mother. If there is a bearer carrying a father, a shoulder to carry his mother, thousands of miles away, provide food, clothing, blankets and medicines, even parents have urinated, defecate on the shoulder, too I have not paid much attention to my parents. Teachers must know, parents are very heavy, raised and raised in time, make us mature. So, that grace is hard to pay. Thus, the filial son wants to report to parents correct dharma should do the following:

- If parents do not have faith, to encourage parents to believe in the three. 
- If parents are greedy, encourage parents to give generous hearts. 
- If parents follow the evil, they must encourage their parents towards good. 
- If the parents follow the wrong view, encourage parents to return to the right view.

To do so is to repay the parents in accordance with the Dharma, making parents not only happy in the present, but also the blessing in the future.

(The Most Popular Sutra)

- Taking care when parents are old. 
- Maintaining a traditional family reputation.

(Brahma Sutra)

"Hey monks! If anyone is grateful and grateful, even if it is a thousand miles away from Me, I still see him as standing near Me. And if anyone is not grateful and grateful, even if he stands near Me, I still see them a thousand miles away. "

(The Most Popular Sutra)

"If anyone wants to be in the house of Brahma King, treat his parents, King Brahma already in the house. Want to have a favorite in the home, be pampered parents, the likes are available in the home. Wanting to have all the angels in the house, just offering the parents, all the angels are in the house. Until you want to offer holy and Buddha, just offering parents, sages and Buddha are in the house.

(Journey to the Bodhisattva)

"The Buddha asked the teacher subjects: Child raising parents, taking hundred oranges to make food, use music to make fun of the ears, dress up the best clothes in the body, shoulder piggybacked parents in all four directions, throughout life Is it worth calling for? 
The teacher said: This person is great. 
Buddha has not called filial. 
Buddha told the Sa-subject: See the world does not have filial piety, only this is called filial piety: Advise parents to let evil do good, to keep the Three Jewels. Although parents early in life expectancy morality, in the dead, for the heavy parental care, also call temporary temples.

(Hiếu Tử)

Mother is alive, the sun is bright at midday, 
Mother is silent, the sun is gone, 
Mother is alive, The moon is clear, 
Her mother is dark and dark.
