Heaven replies
From traditional rituals to modern remembrance, it serves as an emotional bridge connecting the Yin and Yang realms. During festive occasions and on the anniversary of a death, people bring offerings such as yellow paper and gold ingots and reverently light 🔥 in designated locations. The flames leap, and thoughts drift far away. The curling smoke feels like a letter sent to the world of the deceased, expressing thoughts, gratitude, and blessings.
In city corners and rural intersections, burning paper is a common sight. It's not superstition, but a cultural legacy and an emotional release. It's a reverence for ancestors and a tracing of family roots. Let us, while adhering to safety and environmental principles, continue this tradition, so that love and remembrance will never fade. 💕
After death, a human spirit guards the body, blessing descendants for seven generations, lasting for over a hundred years. Therefore, Chinese people place great importance on feng shui. They place great importance on the continuation of incense, and people burn paper and incense. Burning paper and incense is a medium for communicating with deceased loved ones. Don't call it superstition. What's the point of burning incense at a temple? If you dream of a deceased loved one, burn incense and paper money for them the next day. My master taught me that people have three souls and seven spirits. But the most important thing is this: After death, there are three souls: the celestial soul, the earthly soul, and the human soul. The celestial soul, also known as the soul of the departed, is responsible for reincarnation; the earthly soul, known as the karmic soul, records the good and evil deeds of a person in this world and faces judgment in the underworld; and the human soul, known as the corpse-guarding soul, represents the physical body and influences the fortunes of future generations.
Do you know the importance of incense?
Have you ever considered that when you encounter danger, an invisible force helps you escape, such as a sudden car accident, a fall into water, or a bloody disaster, yet you emerge unscathed?
That's because you're destined to be blessed by a benefactor, or perhaps your ancestors are protecting you. The descendants you leave behind are your true capital.
According to legend, the underworld is a mysterious world where the rules are roughly the same as those in our world.
To ensure a better afterlife for our departed loved ones, we often choose to burn paper money and offer sacrifices. While we may not know the actual efficacy of these actions, they are a way for us to express our longing and care. As we light stacks of paper money and place carefully prepared offerings, we silently pray for the happiness and well-being of our loved ones in the afterlife. This isn't just a traditional custom; it reflects our deep attachment and concern for our loved ones.
