弟子規 Rules for Children (八)

喪三年 常悲咽
丧三年 常悲咽
sāngsānnián chángbēiyè
When our parents pass away, we should honor them by mourning them for three years to show our gratitude and our remembrance.
居處變 酒肉绝
居处变 酒肉绝

During this period of mourning, we should live simply and not indulge ourselves. For example, we should not feast because our parents can no longer enjoy these foods.
喪盡禮 祭盡誠
丧尽礼 祭尽诚
sāngjìnlǐ jìjìnchéng
When we prepare for our parent's funeral, we should follow custom and tradition. When we pray we should be sincere. When we conduct the funeral rites, we must not be careless.
事死者 如事生
事死者 如事生
shìsǐzhě rúshìshēng
Even though our parents have passed away. We should honor them as if they were still alive in order to show our remembrance of them.
