A collection of verses from the Buddha on repaying kindness and filial piety

Those who know kindness will not lose their good roots even in life and death; those who do not know kindness will have their good roots destroyed. Therefore, all Buddhas praise those who know kindness. Those who repay virtue. (The Sutra of the Unthinkable Realm of Tathagata Da Fang Guang)

The most good thing is greater than filial piety, and the most evil thing is unfilial piety. (Patience Sutra)

If there is no Buddha in the world, doing good things to your parents and serving your parents is also serving the Buddha. (Great Collection of Sutras)

In all matters of heaven and earth, ghosts and gods, it is better to be filial to one’s two relatives, who are the supreme god. (Sutra of Chapter 42)

Suppose someone carries his father on one shoulder and his mother on the other, serving his whole life without giving up temporarily, providing food, clothing, medicine, and all kinds of needs, but he still fails to repay his parents. Deep kindness. (Sutra)

The Buddha said: If a person makes small offerings to his parents, he will receive immeasurable blessings; if he does little and does not go well, his sins will also be immeasurable. (Miscellaneous Treasure Sutra)

There are four kinds of kindness, which are very difficult to repay. What is four? One is the father, the second is the mother, the third is the Tathagata, and the fourth is the Dharma Master. If you make offerings to these four kinds of people, you will receive immeasurable blessings. If you are admired by others now, you will be able to achieve Bodhi in the future. (Satipa??hāna Sutra)

The Buddha told the monks: Those who are unfilial to their parents, disrespectful to ascetics, do not practice benevolence and righteousness, do not learn sutras and precepts, and are not afraid of future generations in this world will fall into hell after death. (The Five Envoys Sutra of King Yama) Everyone has his own destiny in life and death. Some people are greedy for life, and some are happy to die. Who is greedy for life? His life was filled with ignorance and darkness, and he did not know whether he would die or be reborn in the next life. Those who violate the far-reaching teachings of the Buddha will not be punished by the Master. They will kill, steal, commit adultery and deceive others. They will only do evil things. Such people are greedy for life and afraid of death. Who is happy to die? Meet the Master, serve the Three Jewels, correct evil and cultivate good deeds, be filial to parents, respect teachers, be docile to your wife, be a slave to your family, and be humble to others. Such a person will be happy in death. So what? When a good person dies, he will be reborn in heaven and enjoy the pleasures of the five senses. The dead of evildoers should go to hell and suffer immeasurable suffering. A good person is happy to die, just like a prisoner released from prison. The wicked fear death as if imprisoned in prison. (There is no causal sutra)
