41.18

又優婆塞戒經云。佛言。善男子。在家菩薩若欲受持優婆塞戒。先當次第供養六方。言東方者即是父母。若有人能供養父母。衣服飲食臥具湯藥房舍財寶。恭敬禮拜讚歎尊重。是人則能供養東方父母。是父母還以五事報之。一至心愛念。二終不欺誑。三捨財與之。四為娉上族。五教以世事。南方者即是師長。若有人能供養師長。衣服飲食臥具湯藥。尊重讚歎恭敬禮拜。早起晚臥受行善教。是人則能供養南方師長。是師復以五事報之。一速教不令失時。二盡教不令不盡。三勝己不生嫉妬四將付嚴師善友。五臨終捨財與之。

Furthermore, the Upāsaka-śīla-sūtra states: The Buddha said, 'Good son, if a lay bodhisattva wishes to receive and uphold the upāsaka precepts, they should first make offerings in sequence to the six directions. The eastern direction refers to parents. If there is a person who can make offerings to their parents with clothing, food and drink, bedding, medicines, dwellings, and wealth and treasures, respectfully bowing, praising, and esteeming them, this person is able to make offerings to the eastern direction of parents. These parents in return repay them with five matters: first, loving and caring for them with an utmost mind; second, never deceiving them; third, giving them their wealth; fourth, arranging a marriage for them with a noble family; fifth, instructing them in worldly affairs. The southern direction refers to teachers and elders. If there is a person who can make offerings to teachers and elders with clothing, food and drink, bedding, and medicines, esteeming, praising, respectfully bowing to them, rising early and retiring late, and receiving and practicing their good teachings, this person is able to make offerings to the southern direction of teachers and elders. These teachers in return repay them with five matters: first, instructing them swiftly without letting them lose time; second, instructing them thoroughly without leaving anything untaught; third, not giving rise to jealousy when [the student] surpasses themselves; fourth, introducing and entrusting them to strict masters and good friends; fifth, upon dying, relinquishing their wealth and giving it to them.
