The Parable of the Sutra in Buddhism refers to teachings conveyed through various sutras, which are written texts that encapsulate the Buddha's teachings. One well-known parable is the "Parable of the Burning House," found in the Lotus Sutra, where a father lures his children out of a burning house with the promise of better toys, symbolizing the Buddha's skillful means to guide sentient beings away from suffering and towards enlightenment. Sutras often serve as both moral lessons and practical guidance for practitioners on the path to awakening.

Buddhist Prodigal Son Parable?
The Buddhist parable is part of the famous Saddharmapundarika Sutra (also called the Lotus Sutra, composed at the end of the second century AD), which revealed the new teaching of Mahayana Buddhism regarding the bodhisattva beings. The discourse of the Buddha's disciples takes place in front of a very large public, consisting of arhats, nuns, bodhisattvas, gods and other beings. His teaching was addressed to those who have reached the arhat stage of becoming and are supposed to advance further to becoming a bodhisattva and ultimately a Buddha. As the son in the parable shouldn't have been satisfied with his low social status, the Buddhist disciples should also aspire to a higher position, that of becoming a Buddha themselves. It will eventually be attained after a long process of learning and acquiring merits.see link:The Parable of the Prodigal Son in Christianity and Buddhism
