Tears of joy. Thank you so much. As a Westerner, I can't say how precious and rare this teaching is. As a long-time resident of Japan, I now understand the power of the tradition of filial piety that still exists here in ways less common than it was in my native Canada when I grew up there decades ago. May the power of this story spread to people everywhere. Thank you for inspiring me as I enter into a 10-day Brahma Viharas retreat. It gives me great courage to apply myself with enthusiasm and gratitude.
I came across this video and was definitely in tears. We sometimes forget and don't always appreciate the people who gave us life. We won't be able to fully pay back what they've done for us, but having gratitude is a powerful start.
Only a teacher such as great Buddha could allow his ordained monk to serve his parents , no sect in this world other than of Buddha give permission to go back to parents and serve them with alms food collected. Indeed Buddha is the greatest , highest in terms of compassion and forgiveness.
There is one point I did not understand though. Why did the boddhisat wait 7 days before he explained why he wouldn’t eat? In that 7 days time sounds risky since his mom could have died. Or is it because even if he did the king was not ready to listen would not listen?
I am now very confused after watching this story. I dont know now anymore if i can go and live a monk life and leaving behind my family (my parents and brother). Good things and bad things have happened along the way in my life between me and my family and that maybe i think has now gave me a sign to live a life of renunciation. The only thing now after watching this story is i would feel somewhat guilty for going on my own path since my parents are now heading into their 60s. My parents do not live in a really poor condition since they are living in the Netherlands, altho with the economy crisis caused by the war in EU prices now in general are doubled. Idk i really want to become and monk and practice meditation. I am lost atm and do not know what to do anymore.
@@study-su1gc I do have practiced meditation since 2017, not to any high level or anything. And idk, i do have supported my family financially for some years now, more or less. I desire to live a life of renunciation now. Idk i have to sort this all out in a good way. I do plan on to leave the little money i have saved up to leave behind for my family. I guess i need to ask the advices from teachers at plum village as a first step i think.
If you become a monk your parents get great merit and anyhow 60’s is not old for healthy westerners….many live well into their 90’s. In addition, at Amaravati monastery in the U.K., the Sangha do stay with their parents and some , whilst still monks or nuns, if they have done at least 5 years do take time out to help their parents if they are sick. By ordaining you could develop in Dhamma ( far more meritorious than doing retreats or meditation courses as a lay person) and then there is a stronger possibility of teaching Dhamma at some level to your parents which is the very best thing you can give to your parents as it is something your parents can take into their next lives. All very best wishes, in Dhamma
Buddha teach us all the great things we just need to follow them and adopt them in our life.

U can still meditate while not become a monk and serve your parents
Search vipassana in TH-cam and u will get videos of goenka guruji
I do it too ,justthe anapan part though as vipassana is hard
