Buddhism teaches the importance of respect for parents, and the repayment of gratitude to parents. However, the founder of Buddhism, Prince Siddhartha Gautama, Siddhartha Gautama, himself abandoned his family life, rebelled against his father's will, and abandoned his wife and son to follow. chasing enlightenment. After attaining enlightenment, Prince Siddhartha - now known as the Buddha - lived a monastic life, and he founded the Sangha, practiced together in the monastery, living a celibacy, not lust. , they both practiced according to his teachings (ie, Buddha Dharma). Thus, although the Dharma emphasizes the importance of respect and support between parents and children, and these values ​​are clearly shown in today's Buddhist societies, through biography of the Buddha himself, and the monasteries he founded,

Prince Siddhartha's relationship with his father, King Sanskrit (Suddhodana), reflects this contradiction. When he was a teenager, he was locked in the palace, because his father wanted to prevent him from becoming a monk. When Prince Siddhartha got married, and he became a father himself, he named his son Rahula, which means the iron-shackles tied, because he realized that family life was an obstacle to seeking enlightenment. Finally, after observing the Four Important Events - old age, illness, death, and the monk (seeker) - he fled the palace, abandoned his family to pursue enlightenment. After six years, he achieved enlightenment, then he became Buddha. Later, his wife and son joined the Sangha.

Despite Buddha's conflicting relationship with his father, and his son, his teachings describe the relationship between parents and children as the basis for social order. In Sigalaka Sutta (Sutta), the Buddha taught: "There are five ways a son should take care of his parents ... [The son should think:]" Over the years, father My mother raised me, now I help my parents. I will carry out my duties with my parents. I will continue the family tradition. I will prove to be someone worthy of my heritage. After my parents die, I will distribute gifts on their behalf. "And also, there are five ways parents ... will help their children: parents will advise their children to avoid doing evil encourage children to do good things, to teach them professional jobs, to find suitable wives for them, then, at the set time,

In Mahayana Buddhism, Buddha is sometimes described as "the father of all sentient beings" (Cole, 2005, 115). Buddha's relationship with all sentient beings is depicted metaphorically in The Parable of the Fire House, the Lotus Sutra, in which the father uses many appropriate means to attract his sons to flee. from the burning house. In eastern Asia, the patriarchal conception of Mahayana Buddhism has been strengthened by Confucius' filial ideals.

In Vajrayana Buddhism, some texts, such as the Tantras (Guhyasamaja and Vajrabhairava), are classified as "father tantras." Vajrayana Buddhism also describes the relationship between a guru (guru) and a disciple in related-to-dad terms. In Tibet, the spiritual teacher is regarded as a father, and has been manifested through the practice of guru yoga (mixing the practitioner's mind with the guru's mind), and the organizations of lamas. rebirth (spiritual teachers). END=NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).WORLD VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST ORDER=GOLDEN AMITABHA MONASTERY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.21/10/2019.
