In order to be born as brahmas, we should develop 4 qualities. What four?
1. Metta – Spreading loving kindness,
2. Karuna – Being very compassionate,
3. Mudita – It refers to the kind of pleasure that can be obtained from seeing other people do well,
4. Upekkha – Equanimity (being tolerant with good and evil things).
At home, some children treat their mother and father respectfully. Those families are living with Brahma. Also at home, some children treat their mother and father respectfully. Those families are living with the first gods. Furthermore, at home, some children treat their mother and father respectfully. Those families are living with first teachers. Finally, at home, some children treat their mother and father respectfully. Those families are living with those worthy of gifts.
‘Brahma’ is a synonym for mother and father. ‘The first gods’ is a synonym for mother and father. ‘The first teachers’ is a synonym for mother and father. ‘Those worthy of gifts’ is a synonym for mother and father. Why is that? Because mother and father are very helpful to their children, they take care of them and bring them up and introduce them to this world. Our parents have Metta, Karuna, Mudita and Upekka towards us. Therefore, my dear dhamma friends, look after them until they die.
