Parents should keep children from evil, guide them towards good and train them in a skill. Parents should also help them marry well and hand on their inheritance.
- 3
What does the Sigalovada Sutta say children owe their parents?
Model answer
Children should support their parents, carry out their duties and keep up the family tradition. Children should also make offerings in their parents' memory after death.
- 4
What are the six directions in the Sigalovada Sutta?
Model answer
The Buddha taught Sigala to honour six directions as six relationships. The directions stand for parents, teachers, wife and children, friends, workers, and monks and priests.
- 5
Why did the Buddha reinterpret Sigala's worship of the six directions?
Model answer
Sigala was bowing to the directions only as a ritual his father had asked for. The Buddha showed him that honouring the directions means keeping good relationships.
