報父母恩咒:英文簡介
Brief Introduction to the Filial Piety Mantra
In Buddhism, lunar July is the filial piety month. Buddha taught that on the fifteenth of the lunar July, one may make wondrous food offering to Buddha and Sangha, and the merits accrued may save one's parents, of this or one of the last six lives, from suffering in transmigration. Therefore, this is also the day of making offerings to Buddha and Sangha in remembrance of one's parents.
Every summer during the lunar July, one recites the mantra 49 times a day, in transference to one's parents so that this life will have more happiness and long life, and his/her parents of past 7 lives allow them to be reborn in the Pure Land. The recitation can repay parents' kindness.
