Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings about Practicing Various Virtues
眾善奉行

If we only bow and pay respect to the Buddha; but, not to our parents, we do not really bow and pay respect to the Buddha. Furthermore, if we aspire to be reborn in the Land of Bliss and recite Amitabha’s Name; but, do not respect our parents with filial piety, obedience, and respect, we oppose the Buddha’s heart. If we can take a step further by guiding our parents to recite Amitabha’s Name and aspire to be reborn in the Land of Bliss, we will have made the most profound offerings possible.

如果我們只是禮佛、敬佛,可是不孝順父母,那就不是真正在禮佛、敬佛;進一步說,我們願生極樂,稱念彌陀,如果對父母不敬重、不盡心孝養、孝順、孝敬,那真的是違背佛心了。若能進一步引導父母來念佛,求生極樂,那才是真正供養我們的父母。

Namo Amituofo!
