☸ Buddha said: ‘Brahmā’ is a term for your parents. ‘First teachers’ is a term for your parents. ‘Old deities’ is a term for your parents. ‘Worthy of an offering dedicated to the gods’ is a term for your parents. Why is that? Parents are very helpful to their children, they raise them, nurture them, and show them the world.- < AN 4 : 63 >

☸ O monks, one who encourages his unbelieving parents, settles and establishes them in faith; who encourages his immoral parents, settles and establishes them in virtue; who encourages his stingy parents, settles and establishes them in generosity; who encourages his ignorant parents, settles and establishes them in wisdom—such a one, O monks, does enough for his parents: he repays them and more than repays them for what they have done.- < AN 2 : 34 >

Filial piety is not only to fulfill our parents’ sensual pleasure, materials need or physical needs, but rather to spend time to accompany them and to guide them to learn the Dhamma, meditate and walk towards the path of liberation.
