3. for your dad, say thanks to GM for bringing him to a better place and enabling him to help others less fortunate too

~~~~~~~~

thanks fashi,

ok I shall do that.  

just curious, for my dad why do you say ‘enabling him to help others less fortunate too?

cheers

Hahaha!

Your dad has gone up and he is cultivating.

Helping others less fortunate is actually cultivating Boddhicitta.

Most got delivered by GM upwards, still needs to cultivate to go into Pureland proper, or main.

There are lots of "countries" outside Pureland proper for those with different levels of Karmic Influence and affinities.

The more resources One has, one can share.

When one attained Buddhahood, one can then share even more. 

& by this time, A Buddha don't need any resources as he can transform materials to his needs to help sentient beings. 

You can dedicate merits of cultivation to all sentient beings like what I do all the time, at the part when we do dedication.

You can dedicate and use your dad's name to donate to charities or family as a whole. eg. NN & family....

When you pay respect to the deceased (ancestors), there are lots you can do for them. 

I am doing a special fire puja on the 17-dec, so that you all can offer to your ancestors before chinese new year, giving them plenty of resources for the coming year, and also helping them to offer to GM & divinites. 

I have designed the packages for ancestors with relevant talisman/edict and priced them at $20 per package.

You get one for your dad's ancestors, and one for your mom's ancestors as per Surname.

Your brothers can do likewise as these are from individual and from their own heart.

for example your mom can do for her dad & mom too. 

I have said before that we have to be filial to our parents as well as our ancestors. Never neglect them. 

Hehehe! 

cheers
