The vast spiritual world makes many people curious. Going into this world research, it seems that scientists have not given the exact answer. Does ghosts exist or not? Does the newcomer often go home? Where do the dead go in 49 days? These are the questions that make many people most curious to find answers.

1. Death is not the end

According to the Buddhist teachings, death is not the end, this temporary fake body is not me, death is changing the body like changing an old shirt.

We are scientific people who do not believe in superstitions. But in your opinion, is belief in spirituality a superstition? The real things in life are not superstitions, the spirituality is not far from the reality of this life, the spirituality exists in life, just because we do not know, not see, so we think there is not.

The world of spirituality is very large, the wrong knowledge about spirituality is called superstition, the right knowledge is not called mother belief. Many people wonder where the dead will go, where the dead go in 49 days or what the newcomer does, whether or not they go home.

2. Does the recently deceased often go home?

A newcomer who passed away normally after 49 days will reincarnate, but in the Buddhist scriptures it has been pointed out in the Buddhist scriptures that for those who are extremely evil or very good, they do not go through a 49-day period but immediately return to the realm.

For example, extremely evil people who carry hell karma are born in hell when they die, while those who are extremely good when they live create many blessings, then when they die they are born to heaven to enjoy them.

Those who, while living the practice of the pure land practice, are born to the West of Great Bliss. If they are led by Amitabha Buddha, they will immediately return to the world of Dewachen.

Ordinary people who do both good and evil deeds confusingly when they die, they have to spend 49 days to discern their karma and then reincarnate, within 49 days the deceased will become a neutral body.

This is called the intermediate body before reincarnating a new body, the period of intermediate body can be long or quickly, can quickly reincarnate or after 49 days without reincarnation.

So does the new deceased often go home? Those who have passed away and reincarnated will not go home anymore. If they are still in the intermediate state, they will often go home, they will often hang around in the house around their relatives, sometimes even dreaming. Those who die suddenly on the street, they find it very difficult to go home, need to perform a seance to go home.

In special cases, if the dead person is too stubborn, too attached to the body, or attached to their children, the house, they will become neutral for a long time and cannot be reincarnated. For example, if you fall in love with a lover, you should follow your lover, and you will stay in the cemetery to guard the body ... if you die on the street, you will be around that dead place.

3. Where do the dead go in 49 days?

In the book "The phenomenon of life and death" by Thich Nhu Dien, published PL. 2558 - DL 2014, in chapter 5 "The mind of the deceased in 49 days" has the passage:

“Consciousness falls into a state of clarity, knowing others easily but other people cannot see and know their consciousness. Sometimes the mind makes ordinary gestures, but those closest to them cannot understand. Starting from the moment of shutting down to 1, then 2 or 3 hours, the mind rejoices, happily observing all the surrounding images, movements and scenery, while relatives stand. beside that motionless body, worrying, crying. The mind wants to tell relatives such as father, mother, wife, children and relatives not to do so, but no one understands.

Then time passed by, and the mind saw that the loved ones did not pay attention to them, so they tried to fly further. Sometimes I go home to visit my wife, children and relatives, but I don't see anyone paying attention so I leave. The mind is now more assertive and independent. It means looking for something you like and you want, not waiting for your loved one. Maybe on the first day, that consciousness has reincarnated as a human somewhere, but it can also be from the 2nd to the first 7 days ”.

In 49 days, this was probably the most painful time not only for those who were still alive, but for those who died they were going through their most painful moments.

According to Buddhist research, depending on past life, a person who dies, if reincarnated, will not return home. However, if the dead fall into the intermediate state of life, they must go through a period of poor gathering, meet with the Judges to discern their sins, if life causes many evil, when dying will be like persecution. , his face was frowning, his eyes widened, he couldn't speak through his intermediate state body.

Usually, if the deceased falls into this stage, the dead person does not know he is dead. Their souls are in the house, or around their bodies, if they are too nostalgic about the body, the body is buried then they will hang around in the cemetery.

We can't see them, but they see us, they call out their names and touch their loved ones but no one sees them. This makes them angry and fall into a state of fear, because of their invisible and dragged by them. And within 49 days is the decisive time for the mind to reincarnate.

4. What should family members do during these 49 days?

Within 49 days, in order to benefit the deceased, the living need to do many good things such as: liberation, fasting, reciting Buddha's name, making funerals, chanting (especially Jizō) ... towards the dead, more blessings will be added to the dead, and born into the blessed realm.

If the family is in difficulty, it is up to you to do it, if you have a little money, giving birth is less important is the sincere mind, no need to invite the priest, you can chant Buddhist chants yourself, go vegetarian, but it's important to be honest. want to be good for the deceased to take those things seriously.

The family should do many good things for the deceased to dedicate themselves so that the deceased will feel light, reduce suffering during the time of bringing the intermediate state body and then be born into the good realm, the deceased will be very grateful. about the dream to say more appreciation.

For those who died in an accident, they must quickly bring their body home, carry out a soul call home, avoid the case of the body in one place, the soul in one place. This is not only harmful to the deceased, but also harms the life of the living.

5. Why is someone not reincarnated after 49 days?

People who have not reincarnated after 49 days of death fall into indefinite circumstances. The spirits go on around and on, suffocated, suffocated and miserable, unable to find a way out, find no chance of being reincarnated in a suitable realm.

After 49 days of death, there are a few people who have not yet reincarnated, but many of them, even a few years, until ten years, have not yet reincarnated, are in the intermediate state. They are very attached people, so they have not yet reincarnated. Especially people who accept this body, they regret their body, unable to leave this body, so they live in their grave, around the body. With a house that they cannot afford to leave, it is often difficult for them to reincarnate, and that house turns into a "haunted house".

Reincarnation happens indefinitely. This mainly weighs on the psychology of a living relative, it does not alleviate worries for the deceased if the reincarnation is not resolved within a certain period of time.

But not immediately in our particular world because it is dependent on dimensions of space and time, it happens when the appropriate conditions for those dynamics appear, possibly. immediately or so many years later. We can worry about ourselves or our loved ones if we do not reincarnate for too long, then the vicious situation somewhere in the gloomy world will be very painful ... or like gods imprisoned for thousands of years in A bottle until a certain point happens to be opened up like in fairy tales, if it really is like that it will be a tragedy of the level that cannot be compared with any being endured.

If we believe in reincarnation but cannot know how long it will last, it is like worrying when a loved one is missing, not knowing when to find it and great concern for both. me. Attempts to perform rituals to support the spirit of the dead have mostly comforted each of us only that we have done our best, not delivering a firm commitment.

In a realm of no time and space, dead people can not perceive it, they only know when they open their eyes, a new world is ready to welcome them to enter with signs of luck or misery. Pain is consistent with their inherent bad karma that motivates and motivates them in the previous life.

Prayer, dedication of the living or the ability to communicate with the deceased still works and happens when the deceased has not yet reincarnated because this is communication not in the way of people living together, This explains why we still hold ritual prayers, why there are some capable people who have communicated and have secret information about the deceased, why sometimes we also have feelings. feeling of meeting your loved one in some situations such as dreaming or passing away.

It should be known, because of such a similar relationship of mind and scene, so those who have passed away during the 49-day period need to be vegetarian to recite Buddha's name instead of incense and to create merit, making the dead depend on merit. that eliminates the crime of growing blessings, passing birth in the West or super-ascending in the Heavenly or Humanitarian realm. END=NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).GOLDEN AMITABHA MONASTERY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.10/9/2020.
