"We say ‘fruition by repaying obligations’. People in the secular (world) make offerings to their parents. All the parents say: 'We are now reaping the fruits of what we did when nourish [our children]’. When the child indeed repays them, we call this fruition. The case is thus. Such fruition has two causes, namely: 1) the near cause, and 2) the far out cause. The near (cause) are the pure actions which the parents performed in the past; the far out refers to the filial (love) which the child developed. This is the fruition of repaying obligations (debts of gratitude)."
