My Moody Mom
Question ：I'd like to ask for a means to put my mind at ease despite having the obligation to care for my mother who is elderly and temperamental. She often can't control her mind.
Than Ajaan Suchart Abhijāto: You can think, ¨I'm taking care of an Arahant〃 if you wish. The Buddha said that parents are like arahants to their children. We have to think about the time when they raised us. We had to poop or pee in the middle of the night. Weˇd cry loudly while they were asleep and wake them up to make them come and carry us to go pee or carry us to go excrete. So, this is the time when your parents are similar to how you were when you were small. This time, you have to repay the care they gave you. So you just have to care for them.
