49.8

As the Sūtra on the Malla King says: A person asked the World-Honoured One, 'What is the strength of parents?' The Buddha said: 'It refers to the kindness of receiving one's physical body from parents, and their suckling and rearing. Even if one were to pile precious jewels from the earth up to the twenty-eight heavens and give them all in charity to others, it would not equal making offerings to parents. This is the strength of parents.'
