The Buddha teaches the four noble truths regarding honor the elders, urging mendicants to practice for direct knowledge of suffering, its origin, its cessation, and the path.
… “Evameva kho, bhikkhave, appakā te sattā ye kule jeṭṭhāpacāyino; atha kho eteva bahutarā sattā ye kule ajeṭṭhāpacāyinoti …pe….
Dasamaṁ.
Paṭhamaāmakadhaññapeyyālavaggo sattamo.
Tassuddānaṁ
Aññatra paccantaṁ paññā,
Surāmerayaodakā;
Matteyya petteyyā cāpi,
Sāmaññaṁ brahmapacāyikanti.
