Value of Parents

All cultures look at honoring parents as an important morality pillar. In this fictitious story (in verse form) we explore why parents need to be honored. A being dies and its consciousness is looking towards its next course. This is when it realizes the truth about the cycle of life, and how it is prisoner to its past actions (karma). It encounters two beings, Vipaka and Atmadipa which then help it to understand the essence of Bodhisattvas; and the consciousness realizes that its parents, through their selfless love, are equivalent to Bodhisattvas, enabling it in its quest.
