Honoring Our Parents
The current issue of Tricycle has a feature on honoring our parents and an editorial that offers the following quote from the Buddha:
[W]hoever encourages their faithless parents, and settles and establishes them in faith; or whoever encourages their immoral parents and settles and establishes them in morality, or whoever encourages their stingy parents, and settles, and establishes them in generosity, or whoever encourages their foolish parents, and settles and establishes them in wisdom--such a person, in this way repays, more than repays, what is due to their parents
It is nice to be reminded that there are many ways to honor our parents, even if, at times, the honor isn't apparent to them.
