Ms. Thanh De is the mother of Mr. Muc Kien Lien (also known as Muc Lien). She has a greedy, cruel temperament, does not believe in the Three Jewels, creates many heavy sins, causes many bad "causes", so when she dies, she suffers "evil" consequences, is exiled to the evil path, and is born as a hungry ghost. constant hunger and thirst in the great hell. Muc Lien is one of the ten great disciples of the Buddha, the most talented in supernatural powers. One day he used his "eye of the way" to look in the world and saw that his mother had been born on the path of poverty in the depths of hell, suffering so many tortures. He was merciful, so he brought rice to give to his mother. Because of the evil greed in her past life, when the mother put the rice in her mouth, the rice turned into embers, she couldn't eat it. Mr. Mu Lien was very sad, went back to tell the Buddha everything and begged the Buddha to teach him how to save his mother. The Buddha taught that although his filial piety was great and although he was very good at magical powers, he could not save his mother alone. It is necessary to rely on majestic gods, great virtues like the sea, and the blessing power of monks and nuns in the ten directions to hope to liberate her mother. Mr. Muc Lien did exactly what the Buddha taught, on the seventh day of the seventh month, the holiday of VU LAN, sincerely paid respects to the monks, so that the mother escaped from the hungry ghost life and was born in a peaceful realm. The story of Muc Lien - Thanh De emphasizes the law of "cause and effect", the filial piety of Mr. Muc Lien and the merits of keeping boys, keeping the precepts pure during the three months of the monks and nuns' three-month retreat. All of them made a sincere prayer to create the power of sympathy and stimulation to Ms. Thanh De's soul, making her awaken her own delusion, turning her evil thoughts, towards the good and thereby freed from the harsh punishment of hell. The Buddhist scriptures say: "The mind can create karma, but the mind can also change karma." Mr. Muc Lien is a shining example symbolizing filial piety and gratitude. He practiced repentance to repay the favor and saved his mother from hell. Vu Lan festival in Buddhism is the "Happy Buddha" day, the "Self-fourth" day. Monks and nuns focus on mindfulness and ask the elders to teach them all their mistakes so that they can sincerely repent, so the Buddha is very happy for that spirit of goodwill and repentance. Vu Lan Day is also the day of "Reporting Hieu", recalling the filial piety of the Buddha's children. On this occasion, Buddhists remember the merits of their parents who were born and raised in poverty, but rely on the attention and vows of monks and nuns to help and save their parents. If parents have passed away, even though they have passed seven generations, if they fall into the path of suffering, thanks to this merit, they will be freed, and they will be elevated. If the parents do not walk in the path of suffering, then through this merit they will increase their wholesome roots. If the parents are still alive and have not passed away, then through that merit they will increase their lifespan and generate the Bodhi mind. Vu Lan holiday is also the day of "Atonement of the Dead", the day to pray for salvation for the deceased ancestors. It is the day of forgiveness of all sins. Everyone is repentant, please repent. Monks and nuns pray for the dead to be freed from the torments of the three evil paths of "hell, hungry ghosts and animals". Filial piety is often understood as taking care of all material things for parents. But the parents will pass away one day. According to Buddhism, we are not only present in this one life, but also present in countless previous and future lives, losing one body will take on another. Therefore, a filial son must also take care of his parents mentally, how to awaken his parents towards the good path, believe in cause and effect, and take refuge in the Three Jewels, recite the Buddha's name to do good in the present life. be happy and when you die, you will be happy and peaceful in the next life. “The filial mind is the Buddha mind. Filial piety is Buddha's conduct." In the Vietnamese tradition, filial piety is a very necessary, sacred and noble moral foundation. If you have filial piety in your family, you can be a good citizen in society. Hieu is the first step to build a good family, a civilized society and progress to a prosperous country.
