prayers for the deceased..
Vanessa, this is for you :
"Respect for parents, grandparents, and ancestors is a natural and important human emotion. But ancestors are not themselves a proper object of worship. The only way to attain Buddhahood is to embrace faith in the Mystic Law, the fundamental law of the universe. When people chant for their deceased relatives, their daimoku opens the path to Buddhahood for the latter. That is the ultimate offering one can make to the deceased."
how true this is even when they are alive!!
