有人爸爸生病，長年躺在床上，連續照顧一個月、兩個月，就會有個「怨」字，怨他不快死，這就是所謂的不孝。

There are also some people whose fathers lie sick in bed

all the year round. After one or two months’ care,

they start to lose patience and make complaints.

Some even wish their fathers to die soon.

This is also a very unfilial thing to do.

父母親在世，能夠孝順，是你們的福氣，等到哪天父母親不在，你就沒有爸媽可以孝敬了。

What a great honor and privilege it is to attend to

our parents alive! If they passed away, they would

never come back to life again.

And we would never be able to fulfill filial piety.

This is what we should all keep in mind. 

好好對待父母親，也是讓自己了這個善緣，不管父母親如何又如何，始終還是你的父母，只有「孝順」兩個字，沒有別的理由可講。

So be kind and polite to your parents and

perfect the affinity with them.

Maybe they leave much room for improvement,

but they are your parents. Just fulfill filial piety to them!

要好好行道，將道帶回家，要對父母親孝順，對子女要有仁慈心，家庭和諧，一定很快樂。

While cultivating Tao, you are making an influence

on your family too. You will love and respect your parents,

be benevolent and merciful to your children,

and I am sure your entire family will eventually

live in perfect harmony and joy.
