Paper 1
Revise: Relationships in BuddhismIn the Sigalovada Sutta, the Buddha gives practical advice to a young man called Sigala. He describes relationships as reciprocal: both sides have duties. Children should support the parents who supported them, help with their responsibilities and honour their family.
Use the Sigalovada Sutta accurately: it gives reciprocal duties to both husband and wife, not just obligations for women.
