Arapa ..... Chinese soul , will come back after the 7th day of the death . They will come back to see the very last time their loves one .

For chinese , 49th day will be the confirmed days their soul were far far away liao .

For Chinese , especially Taoist , they believe soul can be recall back ..... so they get those sai-gong recall the soul back .

I dunno , some say Big Second Ah Peh jalan , some say others .....

Am i confused with spirits and souls ?????

Poolman SG

For some Taoist , those Sai Gongs will chant and lead the soul into their "HOME" , where they should belong .....

They believe if no chanting , the soul will be a lost soul . Like lost items not claimed .

Like those Aeroplane crash , their family will get those Sai gongs to search their soul back , lead them and leave the souls where they should belong .

From there , they R.I.P

Well what about Buddhist perspective?

According to your wholesome and unwholesome karma you can be reborn into any of the following six realms:

3 lower realms: hell, ghost, animal

3 higher realms: human, asura, heaven

Or if you are enlightened and liberated, you attain nirvana and is free from the cycle of rebirth. Which is our goal. Our goal is not to be reborn in heaven because life in heaven is still temporary even though long lived. Eventually one still suffers.

When you are liberated and enlightened (realised your true nature/the nature of reality), you are freed from all mental sufferings even as you live. Countless people have attained this state from the past and even today. Or you can come back into samsara (the world of suffering, the six realms) as a Bodhisattva by your own willingness and compassion, take birth, and lead other beings to enlightenment. A bodhisattva eventually attains full Buddhahood and leads countless beings to enlightenment/liberation.

if everyone were to use their own religion to explain on this, then you have many different answers to the qns. but dun bother, as in their minds, their perception is already fixed. in their minds, their religion teachings is the truth and all others are false, even if they dun say it out.

soemt SG

Actually not only would it vary from religin to religion, even 2 buddhists might differ in view depending their own 'çustomised' beliefs which are result of many biases our minds tend adopt. Fascinating, how much the mind does right under our noses and we never even notice.)

Miracles&Prophecies SG

Actually a common view on death and resurrection of the dead are shared between Christianity(at least the ancient Christians), Judaism(at least the ancient Judaism) and Islam(no unfortunately no virgin).

Arapahoe SG

buddhist reincarnate lor.

I think u better re-read again.....buddhist do not reincarnate...once enlightened it ends the cycle.....

Arapahoe SG

3 higher realms: human, asura, heaven

Yes once you attain nirvana the cycle ends....but u need to attain Nirvana when u r living....

Arapahoe SG

Yes all the mentions share a common vision of transformation....hence the "Resurrection"....like i mention in earlier post there were different of opinon as to the process...

Hence does the butterfly know that he/she used to be a caterpilar. and does the caterpilar knows he/she is going to look like a butterfly?

Arapahoe SG

christians dun believe in rebirth/reincarnation one lar. those extreme ones will tell you its nonsense and satanic views.

In this thread it is does necessary to not get into the debates on who owns the Words...

It is perfectly fine to compare between Buddhist vs Christian...(I apply the word christian in a liberal catergory)

So long as you can sleep in peace at night.

No contrary to mainstream beliefs these three faiths have the same view on death and resurrection of the dead. Exactly the same belief as written in their own holy text.

Miracles&Prophecies SG

Judaism, Christianity and Islam all believe in the end judgment where all the dead be judged according to what they had done in life. This judgment will come at the end of time and not immediately after one's death. All three faiths also believe that until the day of judgment comes, all the dead are gathered in a place where they are no longer be living.

Specifically the Koran describes that when the dead are raised to be judged all of them would think they had only been sleeping for a day. Judaism and the old testament teaches that the dead have no memory, incapable of thinking and not able to remember God.

The new testament especially those written by Paul specifically wrote exactly the same thing that there will be a time to wait for believer resurrection. That the first resurrection will only come on Christ second coming.

One of the more interesting quote of Koran that's worthy to be shared:

Qur'an 2:62 (Asad) VERILY, those who have attained to faith [in this divine writ], as well as those who follow the Jewish faith, and the Christians, and the Sabians -all who believe in God and the Last Day and do righteous deeds-shall have their reward with their Sustainer; and no fear need they have, and neither shall they grieve.

Of course in time the Catholics came up with purgatory which is never written in the bible while the eastern Orthodox and Judaism came up with the bossom of Abraham. The spices that result from the lack of knowledge of God and of the scriptures imo and the desires to comfort ourselves and to rebel with more than what is promised. I just want to end this post by saying that it's not our religion that saves us. It's our faith in God and our action that speak of our faith that save us in the coming day of the Lord. To the end of death!
