REGARDLESS OF THE KARMIC DEBTS YOU REPAY OR CLAIM, FILIAL PIETY TOWARDS YOUR PARENTS IS ALWAYS A WAY TO ACCUMULATE MERITS

(Master Jun Hong Lu's Call-In Radio Program)

Caller:  Master, I have noticed that people who are particularly filial receive a lot of blessings from Bodhisattvas.

Master Jun Hong Lu:  Of course, and it comes with meritorious rewards as well.  On the other hand, many people lack merits these days because they are not devoted to their parents enough.

Caller:  Actually filial piety is a way to accumulate merits for ourselves.

Master Jun Hong Lu:  Exactly!  Think about it. Even if your parents are here to repay karmic debts owed to you, if you do not claim them, you will in turn accrue merits for yourself.  Conversely, if you owe your parents karmic debts and you repay them with your blessings, aren’t you repaying your own debts?  Regardless of the perspective, these are both favourable actions.  As long as you are devoted to your parents, be it repaying karmic debts or refusing to receive karmic debts from them, you will be blessed!
