Filial Piety depends on SELF.
The reason why I reduce from $38 to $20 each is to encourage
everyone to be mindful of their ancestors' well-being before the coming festive
season.
Hahaha....
M dislikes the father for abandoning but she also dedicates one
each to paternal n maternal ancestors.
C's sister P said she married out so no need to take care of her
own ancestors anymore!!!
PP said only need to pray to paternal ancestors.
See his problems
always can't solve?
Chase all those Fast to work methods by some lamas or masters but
in the end still can't hold on to what they managed to help him take.
Eventually still have to lost huge sums in paying Karmic debts.
He is not taking care of his ancestors well.
GM gave him fu but he didn't following instruction to use them
too.
He started renal dialysis about a month ago.
we can't run away from our Karmic debts.
that's misconception! Most of them in TBS also chase "Get Rich
Quick" or Fast working channels. See where they landed?
What if like u the family don't have male descendants?
The ancestors go hungry n cold during the winter n spring? and
also forever?
These are the ones that become homeless n poor spirits that we
give charitably to.
But how many like us willing to give to these groups of penniless
spirits???
Don't say anything, their Karmic Hindrances still high.
cheers

I have explained about Offerings to One's own ancestors many times.
The event for this is scheduled for 17-12-2011 @6.30pm.
Just registering your Paternal & Maternal Ancestry seems to be too difficult for most to comprehend.
Hahaha!....
I humbly suggest that you think of yourself waiting for your descendants to give you resources to ward off cold winters, to feed you so that you don't starve and await charity from others.
On 3-12-2011, GM explained the Difference between Buddha & Sentient Beings.
If you can't take care of your own ancestors, then how can you possibly Open your Heart to all sentient beings without discrimination & differentiation?
This is a pre-requisite to Buddhahood, are you aware?
The squarish box-like structure contains 108 units of lotuses and hats.
Clothings on lower left sides. The various incense paper and edict/order for dedication to homeless and destitute beings are laid out under one of the lotuses.
The others are special dedication by individuals to their Karmic negatives or Earth Deities and Spirits.
This event we held at Nirvana Memorial |Gardens Singapore. We offered not only to the Homeless and Destitute spirits, we did a special offering to the Ninth Emperor too.
We do have a Special package for the Homeless and Destitute Spirits every time we do Fire Puja or Merits Dedication events. These are courtesy of and sponsored by Lotus Joanne, Helen, Yewsin, myself and some charitable persons. We spent time folding them and putting them together.

Amituofo Fa Shi, may I ask for those Homeless and Destitute spirits...should we write anything when offering like when we offering to our ancestors/debtors? What should we write in chinese...in attendance to...? Or do we just put all packs in the 'ship' that the temple provided without 'the attendance to'?
ReplyDeleteThank you Fa Shi
