benefactor of the Buddha). She was the daughter of a
millionaire named Dhananjaya. Visakha was to be
married and would soon move from her parents'
house to live with her future husband and his family.
On the day that she moved out, Dhananjaya gave
Visakha a ten-fold advice on how to be a good
daughter-in-law. This 2,500 year-old advice is still
practiced and is applicable today. It applies to
sons-in-law as well.
The points are as follows:
1. Do not show your 'dirty laundry' in public.
When we find faults in our in-laws, keep them to
yourself. Keep the affairs of the family within the
household. Do not go spreading the internal affairs of
the family to outsiders.
2. Do not bring external problems or gossips into
the house.
Should anyone speak about the faults of our in-laws,
do not pass the gossips around.
3. Give to those who give to us.
Help those who return what we lend them. If we have
helped, or lent money or things to people who
returned them punctually, we should help or lend to
these people again.
4. Do not give to those who do not give to us.
Do not lend money or things to people who do not
return them to us, even though it is within their
capacity to do so.
5. Whether they give to us or not, give to relatives
anyway
Whether relatives have helped us in the past or not, if
they have fallen on hard times, we should help them
anyway.
6. Sit with peace.
Know one's own position and behave according to the
level of respect due to others. Be eager to help your
in-laws. Welcome them every time and do not turn
away from them.
7. Eat with peace:
Provide food for your in-laws with special care. You
may have to eat after the children. Once everyone is
taken care of, when it is our time to eat, we will eat
with peace.
