On this special event, we send our best wishes to Ms. Elly's mother who celebrated her 60th birthday. She has offered five kind of fruits, incense, candles, flowers and donation to sponsor the meditation to wish the mother well and happy. According to the Buddhist teaching, the family is the most important and formative association for the socialization of the human infant. Sons and daughters learn various things under various teachers when they grow up, but the first, most important lessons they learn at home from their parents i.e. how to talk, how to eat, how to clean themselves, how to behave.
Parents are worthy of offerings, because the mothers and fathers do much for their children. They raise them up, nourish them, and introduce them to the world. No matter where the parents may be when the children grow older, they should visit their parents and offer them all their necessary requirements and gifts. That is why the Buddha said the parents are Worthy of Offerings.
We sincerely appreciate all of your participation on our drum circle. May all beings be well and happy.
