1. The Four Crosses Chapter:

"Buddha said: To eat a hundred people are not equal to a good person, a thousand people good meal is not equal to one who holds the five precepts. To eat rice is the most profound blessing, but worshiping the heaven and the earth is not godliness is filial to parents: parents are the most spiritual. 

2. Ca La Viet Phuong Phuong Ceremony:

"The Buddha said: worship in the east, it is the worship of parents, there are five things: One is to remember to do business, two to get up early to send a servant to me, on time rice. Parents have to worry about their parents, and the parents must be anxious to find a physician. I advise you to take care of your studies, that is to teach the child to maintain the world, Four is to soon be married to give your husband a child. for me ". 

"Again, this son of a layman!" In the east, as children worship their parents, so children have to take five things to pay respect, true comfort to parents. One is always thinking about the answer, about the job, the second is to replace the parent to take care of the job, the third is always comforting, stopping at the right time, the only hope is to provide, nurture parents. Year is always happy to see parents, parents also take five things to love their children: that is to create a business, to take care of the benefits, to set up wife and husband to children, teach children It is the rightful part of the east, taught by the gods of the ancients, that the child must be filial, loving parents, loving parents. Master sisters The benefits that the law does not regress. 

And the Sutra in the Sutra, certainly with many primitive features: "Hey, Giai Ky, how are the disciples guarded the six directions? It is understood that the East should be understood as parents.

In Gia, there are five cases where the child has to take care of his parents in the east: "To be nourished, I will nurture my parents, I will do my duty to my parents; I will protect my inheritance, and I will take care of the funeral when my parents die. " Dear Family, as the child care as the east, in such a way, parents love the child also in five ways: Prevent the children do evil; Encourage children to do good; teaching career; marrying; pearl husband worthy of children; The time to hand over the leg of the children.

This is how the parents are treated like the east in five ways, and the loving parents in the five ways. Thus the east is sheltered, become secure and free from fear. "

4. Buddhist theory of love:

"The Buddha asked the subjects: parents have children, mother is pregnant ten months, the body like serious illness, until the birth of the mother, the mother is dangerous, father is afraid, it is difficult to say From then on, the mother had to lie in a damp place, giving her baby a dry place, and the essence of her blood was soaked, Eating food, teaching the gurus, respecting teachers, giving to the kings, elders, happy faces, parents are happy to spread. I have to go home, I do not mind, I'm afraid to go home, I do not have any good things. the ceremony, with the heart from the bow She nurtured to report the grace of birth.

The Buddha said: - Child care nurses, hundreds of delicious sweet mouth to mouth, heavenly music with all sorts of pleasant sounds, dressing gowns in body, two shoulder carrying his parents stroll around the four seas, until the child dies, all of which is to inform the gratitude of the parents. So can it be called? You reply to the subject ":

- The greatness of curiosity, is not it?

The Buddha said: - All these things have not been called filial. If parents are stubborn, dark, do not know how to worship three throne, cruel brutal, stealing too much, sexual linguistics, false language is not true ethics, passion for tea regardless, Always contrary to the thing or the right, in such a case, the child must be as hard as possible to prevent parents awakened. As still unclear, must take the sense to educate, leading things in the prison of the king. The detainee said:

Those who do not follow the rules, the body filled with evil, causing death itself. When the gods will be hanging in the mountains of Thailand, then the fire will burn, and the terrible things will be burned down, and those who can not save will have to bear the evil ones. so heavy. As the parents have not changed, the children have to find ways to mourn, scream at the carnival, leaving everything to eat.

Parents, though not wise, but due to heart too love children, afraid of their children must die, so to patience, control the mind Tanh, respect for religion. As parents change their minds, worship the Buddha, keep the five precepts: human heart, love people, not kill; keep pure heart from stealing; Integrity, fresh, not sexual misconduct; Favor of faith does not deceive; filial piety not drunk. Be so in the family, relatives: loving parents, filial children, straight upright husband, wife virginity, their family harmony, servant obedience, grace all over, , the Buddha in the ten directions, the dragon heaven demon, the king is the right path, the mandarin, the people they hundred people are not loved the respect. The spirits were safe, despite the fact that the water was so mad, the flocks were believed to be used, the children were fierce, the woman died, Thousands of monsters ... do not do anything. So the parents in life are always happy, when the general network was born in heaven, meet the Buddhas, to hear the Dharma, practice, liberation from all worldly suffering.

The Buddha said to the subjects: - See in life, filial nothing can cause parents to neglect good deeds, worshiping the five precepts, self-admiration of the three throne. As soon as the dimension of nursing care, for the deep grace of nursing, nursing the parents, despite the use of countless answers, if not bring the throne of the throne to educate parents, Although he is doing his job, he is still unfamiliar ... " 

5. Vu Lan Tank:

"... then, Venerable Mahatma Kien Lien, newly accomplished, six gods, want to save parents, reward grace, birth of nutrition, should use natural eye, observation all over the world. Samsara, see his mother, born in the ghost, no food, no drink, skin with bone. the left hand, cover the bowl, the right hand to eat rice, but the rice, not yet come to the mouth, was burning fire, so not eat. Lord Buddha, the scene is like that of the Buddha taught: Dai Mien Kien Lien, mother Son, root of sin, the end is too deep, not capacity, alone Von, can rescue .. Must be strong, c Of the ten increments, to be transcended. Today as Tathagatas, teach only the author, how to rescue, for all, those who suffer, are also transcendent. Rebirth of the Kien Lien, ten of them increase, the full moon in July, the fourth day. For all of you, parents of seven generations, parents of the present, those who are in the midst of tribulation, who are prepared, full of all the flavors, the bulbs, the basins, oil lamp candles, bed with furniture, bring the best, put in the basin, donated ten, Venerable monk ...

At that time, Sun worship, Dai Mien Kien Lien, a great artist, are very happy. The tragic cry, of Mr. Muc Lien, immediately vanished. His mother, right in that day, escaped suffering, a vicious persecution ... The Buddha taught, Dai Mien Kien Lien, the monks asked, very true and good. As Lai wants to say, Sun asked again, Dai Mien Kien Lien, the bhikkhus, or bhikkhuni, the king of the king, the vizier, the trio, all the people, who want to practice, The virtue of filial piety, the first because the current parents, then because the parents of seven generations, in the past, to the full moon of July, the Buddha's day, full of flavors, into the Vu Lan basin, donated ten, increase their self, praying parents, are present, living for centuries, not suffering disease. Parents of seven generations, in the past, in pain, born in the human race, or on the gods, blessed extremely. Disciple Tathagata, the practice of filial piety, every thought, often remembered, the current parents, to parents, seven generations past. Every year, on the full moon day of July, the heart of love, remembering the body, shop Vu Lan, donate offerings to the Buddha, donate offerings to them, report the grace of loving kind, from the father of the mother. Those who have been, disciples Tathagata, must observe, the above way ... " 

To Some notes:

With only 5 sutras (the earliest) in the history of Chinese Buddhist scriptures (Hau Han to Tây Tấn), we would like to mention the following:

1. Buddhism is very focused on the issue of Hieu and has a very practical explanation, very thorough on the issue? that. The number 9 of the Fourth Chapter has used the image of cooking rice, offering rice to indicate and lead the incident, leading to the assertion "... donate hundreds of rice Buddha is not equal to the teaching of Tam The Buddha says, "The Buddha said to save the sentient beings ...", is a very practical, iconic illustration. Five things that children have to do to report the deep gratitude of parents are cited in the context of the Vietnamese calligraphy ceremony is also very practical, thorough. Remember, the six directions should be worshiped: the east (children - parents), the south (disciples - chief), the West (husband - wife), the north (servant - homeowners),

2. If the image of rice, donation rice is close, familiar, the image of the child, shoulder to shoulder father, left shoulder piggyback mother, spent thousands of years like that, still create peace It is good for the parents, and I have no resentment ... (Nan Bao Nan Nan Bao) is a very unique image, very literary. The whole story narrated in the Vu Lan, obviously is very general, very high. Therefore, the Vu Lan has long entered into the lives of the Chinese and Vietnamese Buddhists, becoming the day of "death penalty" in our nation's traditional festivals (July of the full moon the poet), again poetry reminded solemnly.

3. Highlight Hieu, Buddhism has always emphasized the human element. The affirmation in the Fourth Chapter Chapter: "The worship of heaven and earth god is not equal filial to the mother chah: parents are the most spiritual," is clearly a wonderful light spot. Then, in the Annals of Enlightenment, the Hiếu Tử, the issue is still focused and revolve around people: people create human, bear fruit, people can change the situation by encouraging efforts. People around us create good people to reap good results.

In addition, the narrative is very consistent, as in the Celestial Sutra, the catechesis included in both directions: the children of the parents - the parents of the children, expressing the view of the The object of their interdependence is: "This one has that one, this one is born, the other is born, this one destroys the other."

The solution in the Vu Lan, in order to bring the supremacy of the mother of Mohamadan Mogul is also very consistent. Because despite the human element, human beings are not able to do anything, especially in cases where the external force and internal force of an individual are not sufficient. group. Here, although there are some supernatural qualities, but also very human, there is no shadow of imposing from any god.END=NAM MO SAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.THE MIND OF ENLIGHTENMENT.VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.19/8/2018.
