Chapter 1
Be Dutiful to Our Parents

1. When Parents call, answer them right away and answer politely. When Parents ask to do something, we need to action quickly and do it willingly and do well with completeness.
2. Listen to Parents instructions with a respectful attitude.
3. When we made a mistake, Parents reproach us, we must obey and accept any given advice, accept any lecturing or scolding. Do a self-reflection, be ready to change and improve ourselves to minimise any future mistake. (be regretted for our mistakes, way to repentant)
4. Always be mindful to care for our parents: always keep our parents in a comfortable situation, greet them in the morning to let them feel our care and concern for them. Care for their safety when we go out with them, get for them the necessary and essential things they really need. Also, be mindful of buying them the healthy food that are suitable for their consumption. At night do make sure they rest well. (Have love and gratitude for our parents)
5. Parents are always concerned and worry about their children, before going out and come home, it is our virtue manner and habits to inform them, do not let them worry unnecessary. When at home, do maintain a proper place to stay, to rest and lead a routine life to do our works, persist in whatever we do and will not anyhow change our aspirations at will. (worries can drain off positive energy, create negative energy, minimise any negative energy development)
6. Parents would not want to see children doing irrational or illegal things, a matter or an act might be trivial, but if it is wrong to do it or could cause unfair or harm to ourselves or to others, we must not do even it bear little or no consequence. Even though an act or issue might be small, we must not keep it a secret from our parents so as not to hurt our parents’ feelings. (do not induce any negative energy for our parents or others)
7. We should try our best to fulfil our parent’s wishes, if whatever pleases them is fair and reasonable within our ability. If we do something that might displeases them, we need to think it over and if it is within reasonable situation, logical, we ought to be cautious and not to repeat such mistake of acts. (be filial to our parent with wisdom and do it intelligently)
8. When we are sick or our body is hurt, our parents will be worried. Similarly, if our virtues are compromised, they will feel ashamed and dishearten. We need to maintain a morally attitude and do things that are of virtue values. (standard of being a dutiful and successful person)
9. When we love our parents, it is not difficult to be dutiful to them even to parents who careless of us, this should be the standards for being a dutiful child. (equality of love without prerequisite or prejudice)
10. When our parents do wrong, we must try to make them understand, genteelly and carefully urge them to change, do it with a loving kindness expression and with warm gentle voice, explaining with a suitable convincing manner. If they do not accept any advice, be patience, give them the blessing, wait until they are in a happier mood before attempt to dissuade them again. If they end up not accepting, we must not hold any grudges against them or feel any disappointment. (Apply Love and Gratitude practices in blessing them).
11. When parents are sick or ill, we must take good care of them, accompany them, let them feel the love and warm. (Be responsible, do our best to keep our parents in good health, there are parents who drain off their health due to hard works in earning a living to feed us and family, to take care of our needs, we need to be very grateful to our parents).
12. For those parents who had passed away, (we do not have any opportunity to pay back their kindness and love) do remember them with gratitude and feel their kindness in raising us and previously fulfilling us with all our needs to growth. We must continue to live a virtue life, do some meritorious deeds to repay them and commemorate parents’ anniversaries with utmost sincerity

(Apply the above practices to other people in our life that had ever benefited us before, like our spouse, senior or junior then us, build up strong cohesiveness, integrate loving and togetherness, harmonious and enabling a happier family).
1. We must realise the logical human aspects and be grateful to our parent for nurturing us since the day we came to this world, brought us up and given us the opportunity of education, give us the needs in life, kept us warn with loves and companion. Parental love is infinite love. Hence, when parent get old, it is our turn to repay them the kindness by taking care of them, it is the human being virtuous cycle and the truth of the Universe.
2. If we do not have an opportunity to be dutiful to our parents, or partially complied, or has not been taking care of our parent accordingly, we can make use of “repentance practices’ to make up our lacking in any or all these areas. With our affordable means create the meritorious deeds and transform the merits to our parents.
a. Distributes SLSC related free distribution books like Fountain of Healing, or the thousand years of convergence.
b. If financially affordable we could also sponsor the printing of free distribution books or any other SLSC books.
3. When practicing the ‘Love & Gratitude’ be grateful for whatever our parents had benefitted us in this life, we can recall and list down all the good things and love parents had given to us since childhood day.
4. If we remember anything, we had done which had caused hurt or harmful to our parents before, like not respecting our parents, argue with our parents with disagreements, disappointed them, caused them felt hurt before ... etc, we can make use of repentant practices to remove the unhealthy negative events that stored in our soul memory.
5. Treat our spouse and family member as if we are treating our parents and loving our parents, this could influence or children and family members with virtue attitude.
6. Similarly, we can apply these to our bosses, seniors, and co-workers to certain extend creating harmonisation with care and love.
7. After learning this chapter, I wish I could also apply those mentioned virtues in treating my negative energy (entities), my negative energy entities should have some form of connection with me, could be my previous relatives, or past beneficiary.
