THANK YOU ANNOUNCEMENT. Once, while the Blessed One was staying at Sàvatthi, he called for the monks: There are two classes of people, bhikkhus, I say it is impossible to repay the favor. how is two? Mother and father. If one shoulder carries the mother, the other shoulder carries the father, do so for a hundred years to a hundred years old; If you massage, wash, bathe and oil there, your parents have defecation and defecation, then, bhikkhus, you have not done enough or repay your mother and father enough. Why why? Because, bhikkhus, parents have done much for their children, brought them up, and introduced them into this world. DISCLAIMER: Filial piety to parents is one of the basic ethical standards of Buddhist children. Learning to follow the Buddha's conduct, first of all, is to perfect the merits of filial children. If you have not completed the sentence of filial piety, you are not qualified to be a human and participate in the ranks of true Buddhists. Gratitude and gratitude to those born into the world is what Buddhists always think about. However, the merit born into nurture is as high as a mountain and as wide as the sea, so it is difficult to repay. Serving and honoring parents fully materially in the present life is already a difficult thing to do. But even if you can do it, according to the wisdom of the Blessed One is still not enough. The filial son of Buddha is well aware of the effects of karma in the cycle of birth and death, and at the same time must orient his parents to create good karma to sublimate life in the future. Each person has their own karma, so the way to feel the results is different. In terms of special karma, whoever does it is blessed and whoever does it, he/she bears it. When karma is ripe and bears fruit, no matter how close or full of love, no one can accept it. Therefore, along with filial piety, Taking care of his current parents, the filial Buddha also directs kindness to his parents so that his parents can be at peace for many lives. Therefore, the true Buddha's children, in addition to practicing self-transformation, fulfilling filial piety, need to make efforts to support the conditions, encourage the parents to keep their faith in the Three Jewels, abide in the good precepts, diligently practice giving, happy with the conduct of offerings and especially the achievement of right view. It is the wisdom of right view that will illuminate all the good dharmas on the path of practicing the Noble Eightfold Path. Thanks to that, parents who have enough conditions to create many good karmas, stay away from evil paths in future lives. This is the characteristic of the spirit of Buddhist filial piety as well as the most complete and complete method of filial piety.L 2- INCREDIBLE LOVE OF A Mother Once, the Blessed One was staying in Sàvatthi, calling the monks: what do you think, bhikkhus, what is more? The mother's milk that you drank while you circulated samsara for a long time or the water in the four seas? Venerable Sir, according to the Blessed One's teaching, we understand that it is more than the mother's milk that we have drunk during the long cycle of samsara, not the water in the four seas. Good thing, bhikkhus, you have understood the dhamma that I have taught. DISCLAIMER: Most of us grow up starting with our mother's milk. Nature has endowed mothers with a sweet breast milk, helping the infant to have full of nutrients and antibodies that few artificial nutritional compounds can replace. And those milk lines are also a part of the mother's body. Before that, when she knew she was pregnant, her mother lived for her child. Nearly ten months of pregnancy, three years of nursing, the mother has put all her energy to share with her child. For mothers and children is all, Maybe even for the sake of children that they forget their own lives. As you grow up, my strength is also worn out and exhausted, but I am always happy about it. You have given me a body with all my love and flesh. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that the mother's milk that we have drunk while circulating in samsara from beginningless time to the present is more than the water in the four seas. Still know "the mother's heart is as vast as the sea of ​​Thai Binh" but life with many fluctuations, busy making a living, so often forget, neglect the duty of being a child. Therefore, filial children need to regularly meditate on the depth of love and care in order to grow up and keep filial piety and filial piety towards those who are born. Recognizing the profound grace of parents for birth and nourishment is as vast as the sky and the sea is an important basis for the full practice of filial piety. "The filial piety is the Buddha's mind, the filial piety is the Buddha's conduct". Mind is the basis for action, so once filial piety is accomplished, filial piety will surely be fulfilled.L 3- PARENTS & CHILDREN Once, the Blessed One was staying in Rajagaha, in Veluvana. At any time Singakala (Vietnamese Poetry), the householder's son, got up early, went out of the city to pay respects to the six directions. When he met the Blessed One, he taught Singàkala about filial piety as follows: Householder, there are five cases where a child must take care of his parents: Being raised, the child will take care of his parents; children will fulfill their duties towards their parents; you will keep family and traditions; children protect inherited property; I will have a funeral when my parents die. O householder, being cared for by children in these five ways, parents have compassion for their children also in five ways: Preventing children from doing evil, encouraging children to do good; vocational training; get married, give a worthy husband for children; the right time to give the inheritance to the children. Householder, if parents are cared for by their children and parents have compassion for their children in these five ways, the family will be safe, free from fears. DISCLAIMER: The family home is an important fulcrum for family members, especially in the context of social and economic fluctuations, it is essential to establish a happy family to protect each other. the more necessary. To do that, all family members, parents and children need to work hard to fulfill their responsibilities and duties. In order for their children to become human, to be diligent, diligent in work, to be fully ethical and filial, parents must really love and take care of their children's upbringing. It is not by chance that our fathers have attributed the responsibility that "the child is spoiled by the mother". Children are bamboo shoots, If they know how to bend and protect them, they will become upright and useful bamboo later on. Therefore, establishing a basic moral foundation for children such as teaching to give up evil and do good, not to be greedy, to love one's neighbor... is something to do. Next is the work of career guidance, creating a family and trusting investment, transferring the career to children, so that they can be independent and stand firm in life. Parents who know how to love and raise their children to be human, have fame, family, and career, children will surely understand and repay with filial piety. According to the wisdom of the Blessed One, in order to become a filial son, reciting the kindness of parents to repay the favor is essential. By cultivating the mind of deep love and nurturing, filial piety is formed and growing, leading to the fulfillment of the duty of being a child. So, Filial piety is one of the important duties of parenthood, which is formed from the love and upbringing of parents. Filial piety will naturally be complete when the parents themselves are really exemplary and complete with the way of parenting, then the children will fulfill the morality of being their own children. At one time, the Blessed One was staying at Rajagaha, on the Gijjhakuta mountain. Then the Blessed One took some earth from the tip of his fingernail and said to the bhikkhus: What do you think, bhikkhus, which is more, a little earth on the tip of a fingernail or this great earth? World-Honored One, what is more is this earth, less is the earth on the tip of a fingernail. In the same way, bhikkhus, less are sentient beings who are filial to their mother and father, and more to those who do not respect their mother or father. DISCLAIMER: Honoring parents is a natural thing, almost any child knows how to remember and wholeheartedly take care of his parents to repay the kindness of being born. Then why did the Blessed One assert that "it is less than the sentient beings who are filial to their mother and father, and more than those who do not respect their mother and father"? It can be said from the heart, no one does not respect their parents. But to carry out the parallel of filial piety and filial piety, few people can do it. Here, we are not talking about people who are guilty of great treason (killing their father, killing their mother) or those who are disobedient to only harming and afflicting their parents. The problem worth mentioning is that even though the children are filial, they want to show their filial piety, but then they can't do much for the people who are born. Why? There are 1,001 reasons to justify that. No matter how valid those reasons are and even though our parents are completely sympathetic and self-sacrificing, we still have to admit that what we have done for our parents is really too little compared to the profound grace and nurturing we have. sky sea. Living in the world, being filial is already difficult, doing it is even harder because not everyone has enough blessings to serve and respect their parents as they wish. Life is complicated and turbulent, busy with more important and urgent things, so the privacy of parents is temporarily put on hold. This is also easy to sympathize with but ironically nothing awaits us. Then the thing that will come has come and we can't turn back, only holding the regret that we haven't done much for our parents, then he's gone. Think and reflect on the teachings of the Blessed One to see that you have not yet completed the sentence of filial piety. People who truly honor their parents like the soil in a fingernail compared to the earth on earth reminds us to do what needs to be done for our parents right away, don't make an appointment tomorrow so you won't regret it later.L 5- PROMOTE PARENTS GUIDELINES Once, the Blessed One was staying at Sàvatthi, in Anàthapindika's garden. There, the World-Honored One called the Bhikkhus: Hey, bhikkhus, who has no faith in their parents, encourages, guides, and rests them in faith; for parents who follow the evil world, encourage, guide, and settle them in the good world; for parents who are not greedy, encourage, guide, and stay in almsgiving; for parents who follow evil wisdom, encourage, guide, and dwell in wisdom. That is enough to do and repay enough for mom and dad. DISCLAIMER: Most of us think of our parents as God and Buddha, the object of worship, and inviolability. Nurturing and molding this concept deeply into the mind is an important quality to create filial piety and filial piety. But the reality shows that there are still many parents who are dominated by karma, so they are not really exemplary and show all their responsibility and parenting role, leading to a significant impact on their children and the whole family. People often criticize unfilial children as contrarian, but they are also strict when attributing "bad children to their mothers, naughty grandchildren to grandmothers". Currently, there are many children who have to suffer humiliation because their parents lack conscience and responsibility, even bitterly with the sentence "grace was born", resentful and alienated both parents. Here, we don't blame anyone, because as a human being, there are certain limitations in any role, and no one can avoid making mistakes. You need to calmly observe yourself and your family to realize the flow of karma, community of the whole family. Thanks to deeply contemplating on community karma, we will see more clearly about the current family situation, reduce mutual resentments and more importantly, open a new direction to transform and overcome. Right here, the practice of filial piety is raised to a higher level than encouraging parents to give up evil rules. Bad children are also children, parents, no matter what "negligence", are still parents, no one can change this collective karma. Therefore, helping each other to transform each other and improve family karma is better than what a filial Buddha should do. With humans, all mistakes come from ignorance, from craving, from hatred and delusion. Instead of complaining, let's use faith (faith), precepts (do good, avoid evil), giving (letting go) and wisdom (understanding) along with love and respect to encourage parents to look towards them. Tam Bao. No one wants to see their loved ones go to the evil realm. Therefore, encouraging parents to turn to good and give up evil rules not only brings happiness to parents in this life but also in future lives. Doing this is called filial piety, filial piety, is "doing enough and repaying enough gratitude to mother and father". Then the brahmin Mataposaka went to pay homage and said to the Blessed One: Venerable Gotama, I seek food that is practical according to the common law, and then I take care of my mother and father. Venerable Gotama, am I responsible for doing this? Brahmin, it is your responsibility to do so. Brahmin, one who seeks practical food according to the ordinary dharma, and then nourishes his mother and father, that person gains much merit. The World-honored One said: Those who follow the common law / Nurture mother and father / It is because of this merit / For father and mother / Thus the sages / In this life praise / After death are born / Enjoy the peace of the gods. Hearing this, the brahmin Mataposaka said to the Blessed One: How wonderful, Venerable Gotama! I hope that the venerable one will accept me as a disciple. From now until the end of my life, I will be a lifelong devotee. DISCLAIMER: Serving parents is one of the important duties of children. Not only serving, the filial son must also be obedient, love and respect his parents with all sincerity. Blessing to take care of parents, according to the wisdom of the World Honored One, the present is honored and praised by the world, and in the future is reborn in the happy and peaceful heavenly world. However, the important thing that the Blessed One wants to emphasize here is that the items of service and respect for parents must be pure, is the result of genuine labor (according to common law). Right here, the spirit of filial piety is seen through a different and deeper prism than finding the cause of all the achievements that a child has achieved and brought up to support his parents. If the present material achievements are the result of illegal business such as competition, theft, fraud, tax evasion, bribery, corruption, etc., and then take care of their parents, not only will they not be blessed. which parents may be implicated. Contemplating this issue deeply so that we can shape and adjust our filial behavior for ourselves. New or good, true respect and filial piety to parents is the perfection of personality, doing righteous business, living ethically, always aiming for the good. In today's fiercely competitive living environment, It is necessary to think deeply about the teachings of the Blessed One in order to live a good life and be filial to those born and born. Because more than anyone else, parents never expect their children to do evil and even more do not want their children to do evil for them.END=NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).WORLD VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST ORDER=BUDDHIST DHARMA WHEEL GOLDEN MONASTERY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THE WOMEN OF THE SAKYA CLAN CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.18/9/2022.VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THE WOMEN OF THE SAKYA CLAN CHAN TANH.
