“In Vietnam, on the holiday of Ullambana, we listen to stories about the bodhisattva Maudgalyayana, and about filial love, the work of the father, the devotion of the mother, and the duty of the child. But filial devotion also arises from love itself. When love is present, that is enough, and there is no need to talk of obligation.” – The Most Venerable Thich Nhat Hanh
