So, with the Buddha, and the masters of the sky that he still always show filial direction for parents, so he had to remind his disciples that:

"Spare the form of money, such as Buddha in the world ", which means that parents alive is like a Buddha in the world.

As such, parents are the living Buddha and who has a great gift for us, who are worthy of our respect, care offerings and worship. Buddhist parents in money should in Fairy Buddhism had stories about a young man seeking the Buddha to ask Buddha to help her escape life miserable, sad that he is suffering. It is said that:

"At the time of the Buddha in the world, when he was residing at the Vulture Peak, in the village, we were around the five orphans live together in a dilapidated house, a poor family in poor families in the village. A mother with a shabby body, clothing is not a decent time, only vicious care homes, bringing meals through the day.

Her most valuable asset is a boy, has to adulthood. Family who live in poverty should focus austerity has also shown on k face. Children throughout the day to the forest to collect firewood, burning coal to make money worry rice porridge for parents, the afternoon he enlisted to do all the things that people hired to look extra medication and disregard for the mother.

He traveled around the villages, climb and wade streams pass, where he also inquired about the whereabouts of the Buddha, traveled quite a distance away, to undergo several months but still have not met him.

Paint on top of the Vulture Heap, The Sun is entering samadhi, is to observe the suffering of sentient beings. He saw the other scenes of the mother, are sick sickness, day and night still sat upon the door in the that breathing coal short-term, her remains are fragile body was between life and death. He saw the image of the other boy did not mind the road obstacles, is not the fear of high forest country that has a willing heart to see the Buddha. Exalted compassion, determination level for the mother and daughter are integers.

He has transformed into a monk, appearance respectable strict, drill pregnant alms. Meet the youth monk inquired about the whereabouts of the Buddha, the monk has taught: "You go back to the old way, and meet someone then you look at their feet, if anyone slippers contrast, the left-to-right and the right to the left, he is the Buddha. "

He heard the monk and the youth returned, meeting someone he stared at their feet, but for a long time and I still have not seen anyone go left sandal.
