Daughters and Sons

Lord Buddha once compared the perfect gratitude toward one's parents to being able to completely pay back the sacred debt, which is what we owe to our parents.  What are the characteristics of paying back the to the parents as according to Buddhism?


Teachings by Ajahn Jayasaro in Daughters and Sons describe the various discourses that Lord Buddha taught us to develop both a deep appreciation of the debt of gratitude we owe to our parents and the intention to repay it as best we can, including the practice and attitude toward all those that have assisted us until today and contributed to making us who we are, especially our parents.
