The mystery of life spreads what is needed for those in difficulty if you have the means to share what is known beyond the unexplainable science. Perhaps this is a unique instance because it relates to religion, not many investment-related details; those who read it should consider themselves lucky. This is my note shared about spiritual life experiences, and I believe it can exist in a diverse universe, perhaps it will only remain as history, with future generations not believing or deeply understanding this. It will be revealed to the wise and break some rules in certain countries if they refer to my article.
For the Southeast Asia region, China, and Vietnam. The spiritual story only resonates with those who believe in it. Offering to the souls of loved ones is a tradition that should always be preserved. When the physical body departs (dies), there remains an invisible energy that transcends to the realm of the underworld for judgment on where to go, or it may not be as easy to achieve liberation as people often claim. However, the consciousness still always reaches out to the children and grandchildren for support or help (bless) alongside the deities in their beliefs who also bless and pray.
Story 1: The deceased loved ones (the spirits) silently help us in our business, life, and health alongside each individual's struggle. In the past, during times of war and chaos, it was said that the spiritual and physical realms share the same path. The souls of the deceased also feel hunger and thirst, and still partake in offerings of items like water, fruits, heating lamps, incense, and traditional Eastern designed paper money and clothing. If the descendants do not adhere to traditional beliefs, the spirit must temporarily seek refuge elsewhere where offerings are made. However, in my opinion, this would create conflicts between the living and the dead, resulting in consequences if we abandon the traditional offerings for the souls as before.
Story 2: "Cause - effect and karma are not different at all."
The repercussions of good and evil. There are three types of wrongdoers who will face immediate, gradual, and later consequences. And the deeds are divided into heavy and light evils.
For example, when blessings - health are still strong and abundant, spiritual consequences have not yet come. If one also disrespects their ancestors and does not know how to avoid doing bad things, the karmic debts from the past are waiting to manifest at the right time, causing the person to suffer comprehensively in all aspects. Offering to resolve karma (donating to monks in the temple) is costly and only tends to reduce bad karma, but the monk must also bear part of the burden with the wrongdoer.
The story of the experiences of a wealthy official's family in a Southeast Asian country. Many worked in hospitals during the COVID-19 pandemic but took too much money from the people, partly due to fraudulent activities compounded by their own and their ancestors' bad karma from previous lives. This created a collective karma strong enough to cause a high-ranking member of their clan to die (depart). Some began to suffer from illness and gradually faced business difficulties. I do not have further information about what happened to them later, but they need to reflect and repent.
From this comes an early warning lesson for all behaviors in life. "What is good should be done; what is evil must be carefully considered." Knowing when to stop and being content brings peace and joy, but do not go too far or be excessive.
