Quote from: Upasak Swapnil on Bu-SE
There's reason celebrate "Father's" or "Mother's day" but it's been doing recently as you said by modern or western followers celebrate honoring fathers and celebrating parenthood, paternal bonds, and the influence of parents in society.
But I found there is "Sutra of Filial Piety"

[Joyful Citing Sutra and Suttas, known here]

I was thinking while wishing my friend a father's day if it is in Buddhism but with your question I got that a lot beyond it.

Thanks a lot.

So even if Modern or western disciples and followers celebrates these fest on an occasion of Days. Buddha said it is responsibility for children to look after their parents.

All he said enchanted.

Mudita!

Quote from: Ahmed on Bu-SE
My father is dead but I try to go the extra mile and help--really help my eldest uncle and those closest to my father in ways that I can whether it is:

- psychologically and emotionally supportive by giving happy thoughts and emotions and not supporting negativity
- virtually supportive (I work in IT so I know most things that are useful) by setting up phone, accounts, etc.
- reminisce about my father's good qualities and actions frequently with family, ignoring the bad

Sadhu! And Anumodana!

Namo tassa bhagavato arahato sammā-sambuddhassa

To be generous in giving, to be righteous in conduct, to help one's relatives, and to be blameless in action — this is the greatest blessing.
Quote from: http://zugangzureinsicht.org/html/tipitaka/kn/khp/khp.5.nara_en.html

Namo tassa bhagavato arahato sammā-sambuddhassa

"And how, young householder, does a noble disciple cover the six quarters?

"In five ways, young householder, a child should minister to his parents as the East:

(i) Having supported me I shall support them,
(ii) I shall do their duties,
(iii) I shall keep the family tradition,
(iv) I shall make myself worthy of my inheritance,
(v) furthermore I shall offer alms in honor of my departed
relatives.

Fathersday - how would a western disciple of the Buddha make use of this fest?

How, and why, Guest, would a "modern" or "western" follower of the Buddhas teaching celebrate this day, and use it to pay gratitude to his father as one of his/here first God and the other three Gods?

Maybe Guest like to share also how you fullfill this duty personaly to give others inspirations and ideas, meaning: Be not greedy in sharing possible merits you do or have done.

Proper placed, you may feel given to use also the Shrine to make a sacrify right here or the place for sharing merits as well, or where ever it seems to be the best possible liberality/generosity for you.




Vatertag - Wie würde ein Anhänger Buddhas, in westlicher Kultur lebend, das Feiern dieses Tages gut nutzen?

Wie und warum würde ein "moderener" oder "westlicher" Anhänger des Buddhas und seiner Lehre diesen Tag feiern und begehen, und ihn nutzen, um seinen Vater als Teil des ersten der vier Götter und den anderen drei Dankbarkeit zu erweisen?

Sie, Guest, mögen vielleicht auch teilhaben lassen, wie Sie selbst dieser Pflicht nachkommen, und anderen damit Inspiration und Ideen geben, bedeutend: Seie Guest nicht geizig im Teilen der Verdienste, tuend, oder getan habend. Angemessen können Sie dafür gerne den Schrein nutzen und auch hier gleich tun oder den Platz zum Teilen von Verdiensten verwenden, oder wo immer es Ihnen größt möglich Freigibig erscheinen mag.
