Five ways one should minister to one's parents:
• Having supported me, I shall support them.
• I shall do their duties.
• I shall keep up the honour and the traditions of my family.
• I shall make myself worthy of my heritage.
• I shall make offerings dedicating the goodness of my practice to my parents after their death.
-- The Buddha (Sigalovada Sutta: Digha Nikaya 31)
