"The fundamental way to put this genuine philosophy into action is to respect and treasure your parents. Give your parents peace of mind, show your appreciation for them and bring them joy. Those who have no concern for their parents cannot be called splendid people, whatever else they may have accomplished in life. To show appreciation for one's parents is the noblest behavior as a human being; it is the highest art and the truest path."
"One's behavior as a human being--this is the starting and ending point of Buddhism."
