Buddha said: Make offerings to your parents .VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.

In the Yulan season, all of the Buddha's children once again meditated more deeply on the parents' profound knowledge of being born and nurtured to take care of the compensation. Filial piety, respect, hospitality, filial piety ... are the precious qualities and deeds of a Buddha's son.

Of course, not everyone meets the good conditions to fulfill filial piety, but at least, we must always keep in mind the word filial piety and pain in our hearts to find ways to express it.

The word filial piety is great, because "Filial piety is Buddha's mind, filial piety is Buddha's virtue". In the countless meanings of filial piety, someone can do this aspect, another can do it in the other. Depending on the conditions and specific circumstances of each person, each house that practices filial piety. It is important to determine what is the essence, the essence of filial piety to practice. Because sometimes, we have the good fortune to do the main part of filial piety, but it is not good.

Religious false religion-benefit-waving the sermon for the mother attained Preliminary results.

“At one time, Buddha was in Xa-guard, Ky-da forest, Lonely level garden. At that time, the Blessed One told the monks:

Teach two people to do good, can not repay how is two? Meaning father, mother.

Hey Bhikkhu, if there is someone, the right shoulder will carry the father, the left shoulder has to carry the mother for thousands of years, take care of clothes, food, bed, medicine, even though the parents urinate, defecate on the shoulder. , that person still cannot repay. Monks should know, parents favor heavy, carry, nurture, depending on the time to preserve, not miss the weather like seeing the sun, the moon. Using this means, know this grace, hard to report. So, bhikkhus, make offerings to your parents, so you should be filial, don't miss the weather. Like, monks, should learn this!

Then the monks finished listening to the Buddha's teaching, and happily obeyed ".

It is clear that the parents' birth and nurturing merit is as immense as the sky and the fate of being a child is difficult to repay. Considering that the parents are still like the Buddha (Father in the street is like the Buddha in the world), so first have to worry about making offerings. Offering or taking care of a parent is the most basic foundation of filial piety. Next is respectful and spiritual spirit, seeking to make parents reassuring, happy, pleasing. Buddha taught: 'Make offerings to your parents, you should be filial, don't miss the weather'.

Being filial to parents, helping them to have a happy old age, having less illnesses and passing in peace is really difficult; must meet many blessings before children can do it. It is worth noting that, the Buddha has not yet allowed the filial son to settle here, complacent with the filial piety he has done. He always admonished that with parents, 'grace cannot be repaid'. Why? Because that only helps parents to be happy in life. While the Buddha's criterion should be 'Now happily ever after happiness'. This is the problem!

Hope that our loved ones in the present as well as in the next life will always be happy. This is the true filial piety and filial piety of a Buddha.

Therefore, if we have full blessings, fully support and respect our parents, but our parents know how to respect the Three Jewels, diligently accumulate spiritual blessings, the family will be blessed. Surely our parents 'Now rejoice in the next life happy / Bless two happy lives' (PC.16). This is filial piety, full of filial piety according to the Buddha's teaching. Contrary to our filial piety, but parents still follow the practice, do not know how to depend on the Three Jewels to change their mind towards goodness, in this life, although parents are safe but the next life does not know where to go.

Right here, a fully filial Buddha must find ways to create a good luggage for his parents who have enough money to enter the good world. The text says: 'Teaching parents to do good' means directing parents to good things such as taking refuge, precepts, blessing, forgiveness, joyfulness ... or moreover, believing in cause and effect, cause conditions, achievements. right view. Being parents and children of each other must have a predestined relationship for many generations. Hope that our loved ones in the present as well as in the next life will always be happy. This is the true filial piety and filial piety of a Buddha.END=NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).GOLDEN AMITABHA MONASTERY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.1/9/2020.
