慎终追远，

缅怀先人，

不仅仅是抒发思念之情，

重点在于策发起内心的责任感。

认识到自己是先人生命的延续，

因此不能自私自利，

要报前人之恩，

为后人创造可持续生存发展的环境。

Dhama Talk at Jianxing Hall

Why do we carefully attend the funeralrites of parents and follow them when gone with due sacrifices, and why do we cherish the memory of theancestors is to not only to express our remembrance for them but moreimportantly, induce in us a sense of responsibility.

We realize that ourlife is an extension of our parents and ancestors. 

Therefore, we should not beselfish.

Instead, we should repay the kindness of the ancestors and create asustainable environment for the future generations to live and develop.
