(DTTG) - Within the framework of Buddhist doctrine, filial piety is not merely a compulsory social norm; rather, it is elevated to a method of spiritual practice leading toward liberation. For Buddhists, the Ullambana (Vu Lan) season, a time dedicated to filial gratitude serves as an occasion for profound reflection on the spirit of filial piety, the enactment of such devotion and the practice of the “Four Profound Gratitudes” within one’s daily life. The foundation of the Ullambana spirit lies in the integration of a “filial heart” (a sense of gratitude) and “filial conduct” (acts of showing appreciation). Drawing inspiration from the scriptural account of the Venerable Maudgalyayana rescuing his mother, Buddhists come to realize that the debt of gratitude owed to one’s parents for the gift of life is immeasurable, a debt that cannot be fully repaid through mere material offerings.
