【见行堂语】
许多出国读书的人，也不能留在父母身边尽孝，
即时在同一个国家、城市，现在也有越来越多的人，与父母异地而居；
反过来，即时出家了，父母生病或生活困难时，也可以回家照顾，这是在生活层面；
在精神层面，出家人心心念念报父母之恩，
以一切众生为父母，是更深广之孝。

【Dharma Talks of Master XueCheng】

Many people studying abroad cannot stay at home to take care of their parents.
Even in the same country or city,
more and more people cannot live together with their parents.
In fact,a monk can go home to look after his parents when they get sick or in trouble.
This is filial piety in life aspect.
While in spirit,a monk who takes all the salient being as parents spares no time to repay their love and care.
That is filial piety manifested in more profound way.
