"We should respect and support our parents while they are alive. There are
some people in our society who try to respect their parents only after their
deaths. While they are alive, no one is there to support them and treat them.
Sometimes, they die without a sip of water. But right after that the children
start to cry and weep and going from place to place build many kinds of
monuments spending thousands or millions in their names. But that helps them
only a very little. They have gone for good. For the departed ones there is only
a very narrow opportunity to receive merit. Therefore,better to do it while alive,
today, right now, do your own merit by yourself." ~ Bhikkhu Seelananda
