What is the reason for this?Parents do much for their children: they are raised, fed and guided through this world.
But, O monks, someone who encourages parents who had not believed, familiarize and reinforce them in confidence, which encourages parents who had no morals, accustom and confirmed in the morality that encourages parents who had been stingy, familiarize and reinforce their in generosity; that encourages parents who had been stupid she thought, familiarize and reinforce them in the wisdom of people like that, O monks, has done enough for the mother and father: he had to repay them and more than return the favor for what they have doing.
