Enacted in 1987, the law allows for the mandatory removal of kidneys if a person dies in an accident – unless the person has specifically opted out. The scheme covers all Singaporeans and Permanent Residents who are not Muslim. The Act was revised in 2004 to include the harvesting of livers, hearts and corneas and expanded to cover non-accidental deaths. Between then and last month, some 6,000 had opted out of Hota.

捐 器 官?
问:我先生问:[佛教是否主张死后捐赠器官?]我答:[我佛大慈大悲,昔日歌利王割截忍辱仙人的身体,他也不曾怒他。]请问不知对否?
答:答问要看问的人的心态与用意,你的答复是否能够帮助他醒悟过来,关键在此。我不知道你们当时的情形,所以我也不知道是对否,你自己好好的思量.体会,你就会明白。
这 个问题,我们要搞清楚捐赠器官,菩萨没问题,我们凡夫有问题。一般人断气大概八小时之后,阿赖耶识才会离开,这时你割截他的器官没有问题,他已经不知道痛 苦了。八小时之内,阿赖耶识没有离开,你割截他的器官,他会痛苦,若是后悔而生一念嗔恨心,他就堕三途,这是要知道的。凡夫之人有这个能力忍受吗?如其不 能,还是不要发心,等到往生极乐世界,来生倒驾慈航再捐器官也不迟。因为你从极乐世界回来,你是菩萨身,你有能力像忍辱仙人一样,被别人割截身体一点怨恨 心都没有。你没有这个能力,希望你不要冒险,否则到最后自己后悔,受不了而堕三途,这个亏就吃大了。
问:捐献器官是一种善行,但佛教主张在八小时内不宜移动亡人,请问是否就不能捐献器官?这与一些都要舍是否有所抵触?应如何做才如法?
答:佛法讲舍是彻底的舍,问题是你肯不肯舍,你要是肯舍,捐献器官当然没有问题;怕是你舍的时候又后悔,问题就严重了,所以临终不能不认真考虑。
经 上说,人断气之后八小时,神识(一般说灵魂)还没有离开。只要灵魂还没有离开身体,割截身体就会有痛苦。那个时候如果他很清楚[我捐献器官很欢喜],就没 有问题;如果割截器官的时候,觉得非常痛苦,因痛苦产生嗔恨,麻烦就大了,一念欢喜心,往上生天;一念嗔恨心,就堕地狱。纵然没有那幺重的罪业,嗔恨心堕 畜生道,都是变毒蛇.猛兽这一类的。所以,我们要慎重的考虑这桩事情,自己是不是有定力.有功夫,在捐赠身体器官的时候,能够忍受割截的痛苦。
换言之,佛法教你舍,是在日常生活当中能够舍身心世界,舍己为人,为社会.为众生服务,不为自己,这个舍比捐献器官还要重要。捐献器官是帮助一个人,我们为社会大众工作是帮助许多人。所以,[舍]应当在平时认真努力去做,不计较在临终这个时候。
我们一定要明了,如果是真正念佛往生了,没有问题;因为往生的人一断气,神识就到极乐世界去了,你割截他的身体,他完全是没有知觉的。怕的是他没有往生,这就麻烦了。
佛家讲有三种人一断气神识就离开,没有中阴。第一是往生;第二是生天,福报很大,没有中阴;第三是造极重的罪业,死了之后立刻堕无间地狱,没有中阴,没有间隔,这里一断气立刻就到地狱去。除这三种人之外,都有中阴,这是我们不能不考虑到的。
祖师大德们都是为了大多数众生着想,因为临终这一着关系你来生的前途,比什幺都重要!如果你来生能够得人天大福报,你再为一切众生做好事情,帮助一切众生,比你舍身体器官帮一.两个人,功德不晓得要大多少,所以帐要仔细算算。(Master CK)

第三:生前未有大错,死后又捐出器官,却堕入三途,这是否有失公平?
慧律法师答:这样的问题是对佛法不了解所致。昨日,我已经说过,假如你有定力,人家割你的器官时,你不觉得痛,就可以捐出来。人的发心都很好,但都不知道自己的力量到底有多大,都不会了解临命终是多痛苦。
所以,在世时就说临命终时,要捐出眼角膜,当然有这种愿力是很好的,问题是我们有没有这种功夫?被割时才感到痛,已经说不出话了。但是,我们佛教还 未到的事就已了解,了解割眼角膜是痛苦的,捐心脏或肾脏,假如没有相当的定力,根本是不可能的事。现在是能力的问题,不是慈悲的问题。假如你发的慈悲心可 以支持到底,就不会因救人而堕落;也就是说,你不起贪嗔痴的心,不起后悔的心就可以捐器官,没有关系。

Basically, views on donating organs within 8 hours upon death differ within the Mahayana Buddhists. One camp (mainly the pureland buddhists like Master CK, Master Hui Lv as quoted above) are against it. Another camp (mainly from Humanistic Buddhism i.e Master Yin Shun, Master Cheng Yen) encourages it as they argued that the eighth consciousness (alaya) will not feel any pain after death and donating organ is the boddisattva's way.
-
-
-
The pureland buddhists' arguments are:
1. The eighth consciousness may take up to 8-16 hours to detach itself from the dead body
2. Touching the dead body in anyway will cause pain to the dead
3. Unless the dead has samadhi or high level of tolerance to pain, pain may cause hatred/anger, this may lead the dead to Hungry Ghost or Hell

I know this person that his friend has very high level of samadhi.
Got this time when he in deep samadhi, my friend tap on his shoulder. After sometime he finally open his eye but scolded my friend angrily saying "do you know how painful I feel justnow when you tap on my shoulder". So sometimes, even high samadhi can't ensure the person is free from physical pain.
Sidetrack a bit, there was this saying that when a person is about to die, we shouldn't "ge2 kiang3" and bring a person that he dislike to say sorry in order to patch back the relationship. Though the intention is good, but if the dead person grow hatred after seeing this person, it will affect his next life as well.I agree that if the dead person doesn't have or have very short bardo stage, then removing the organ won't cause any pain on him. But that is for people who practice the dharma when still alive. Daily practice is still far more important than any last minute effort.

I thought there's a saying "Sheng bu dai lai, si bu dai qu" ? I can't type chinese here in office.. so pai sei ah..
like what Bear says, if your organs helped another to live, won't it be a great deed? even if after life feels pain, but at least you helped someone who might possibly be a breadwinner, or gave someone a chance to see their sons/daughters get married?

生不帶來死不帶去
I have to disagree with Ven Chin Kung and Ven Hui Lu. Unfortunately, it shows a lack of entrusting in the Buddha's Vow to save all sentient beings. I mean, if our karmic acts are such that we do not have the conductive environment to die and have our body left for 8 hours, does it mean that we will not attain birth in the Pure Land? I do not think that Amitabha Buddha is so uncompassionate, since it is stated in His Vows that he will save sentient beings who entrust in His Vows and recite His Name. If our donating of organs can save others' lives, than i think, Buddha would even be more rejoiceful of it.

Well i strongly believe that pple who have done alot of merits in this life will go to heaven and those who are bad will go to hell . No matter what position or status that person have . From what i notice different pple will translate and think differently not to mention different understanding of even the exact same book of sutras . Some pple after reading will say things different other pple who have read the same sutras . Thus maybe the different teachings in between sects . Regarding the person who regret donating his organ when he experience pain while pple are harvesting it will go to hell direct ... . Lets put it this way , are they trying to say for example : if a person whom has done alot of evil killing raping smuggling cocaine etc dies and the doctor uses his organ to save another person even though that person did not bother to opt out of it . Or put it this way , he realise his folly and decides to make atonements and does not regrets his decision even though he is in great pain in the process of harvesting . Are you saying that this person will go to heaven ? And some one whom has been a very devout buddhist whom has done alot of merits regrets his decision or gets angry due to the pain of harvesting his organ will go direct to hell ? If thats the way , pple will really suspect buddhism and may even accuse it as " blind " or even stupid .
I personally did not opt out of it , as i believe if i am able to save another person after i die then why not ? Although i have never thought of the pain during the harvesting nor bother abt the hassles of opting out . Seriously if buddhism were to be like what they say feel pain , regret then go to hell , then i bet at least abt 50% of current buddhist will convert to other religions . In buddhism it is said that there is no self and the human body is made up n consist of millions of cells each doing their own " job " . Then what is the problem of harvesting organs from the body ?
Budhha encourage pple to do good save lives etc , yet here this venereble is trying to discourage pple to donate organ to other pple just because they may feel pain n regret . I think he say this out of his own fear and believe instead of from any buddhism text . Its easy to add in your own views to preach to pple who looks highly on you . But it will be hard to correct them later as even if you decide to retract your statement , some of the pple in the initial assembly may not be there and still hold on to the wrong views . By then you may have caused more harm then good .

just to clarify the two idea between chinese and japanese PL.
yes, i agree that 生不帶來死不帶去 and that it shows a lack of entrusting in the Amitabha's Vow, yet that Lack of entrustment can Sometimes serve as a problem for Some people. so for such people, you may need some alternative. so Amitabha is still very compassionate to give some people that alternative.
sometimes, personal karma can be overwhelming than one's entrustment. but i know that should not be the case. well, what to say some people are that lack of confidence. if by opting out, it do help to boost you confidence and entrustment of Amitabha's Vow, then why not?.

Hi TWE
I agree that people who did good can go to heaven, but not all will go heaven. It also depends on their vow and intention.
The pain of the person when dying is beyond one's endurance. I heard cases when doctors used electric shock or other method to save a near death patient. After the patient die, the doctor had a nightmare when the dead person came to struggle the doctor because during the treatment the patient has suffered very severe pain.
Though a person might do some good thing in the past, but if he grow hatred when he die, this will create bad karma. On top of that, he won't be in the same frequency to upper rebirth, so his bad karma will ripe first.Anyway, this is for those people who don't do much good nor bad karma when they alive like everyday eat and sleep, never develop compassion, never harm people, then their next rebirth will be determined by their mind/attitude during dying process, whichever is stronger.
Remeber that karma is not created just through body and speech only, but also through mind.
In sutra, it state that one can clear off bad karma by doing repention, regretting of the bad deeds that we do in the past. Likewise, if one regret the "good deeds" that he do, it will have negative impact to himself.
So, in a way, both side are correct, their understanding on this matter is also according to the dharma.

Another main problem is the process of harvesting organ will prevent process of 助念.Most Buddhists are typically not educated about death when they are alive to help them to make decision on organ harvesting. The best/most popular work so far is "The Tibetan Book of Dead" (available in English/Chinese).The following is a short extract from Zen Master 南怀瑾 on the death process:寿终正寝”, 很难哦!尤其现在没有寿终正寝了。所以我现在主张人家写讣文,这四个字免了,“寿终某某医院”就好了,没有终在正寝了,不会死到自己家里啊、规规矩矩那个 房子啊、自己应该睡的地方死亡的没有啦!现在都是送到医院去了,到太平间啊。所以现在讣文也改了,我看到这几年来变得很多了,“寿终某某医院”,当然将来 慢慢“寿终某某太平间”,将来再后来进步到寿终某地“第三号的火化炉”,那也可以了。呵!这个时代在变,死亡也在变。现在我们先讲一个人,正的死亡。人要死以前,先是风大死亡,先没有气了,呼吸不对了。你们大家到医院看过病人就知道,一个人要死的时候,这 个呼吸在这里哦;婴儿的呼吸多半、你看一个婴儿躺在床上呼吸,鼻子、胸口比较动得轻微了,这个小腹、肚子整个地动,呼吸深长。年纪大一点慢慢上来,到了老 年了,呼吸都到这里(胸部以上)了,死亡的时候就到这里(喉部)。快要断气了,医生没有办法,为了保持脑细胞慢一点死亡,就给他上氧气帮忙他,使脑神经细 胞不要死亡、多留一下。所以死亡,第一个是风大先散掉,换句话,死亡是先到气没有了。但是在这个阶段呢,这个死的人,假使正常的,我们现在完全照正常讲 哦。他的感受哇,所谓发生身体上肉体上,发烧啊、难过啊、或者觉得冷啊,很不舒服,总不对头,情况很不好,自己也迷迷糊糊,发烧。那么在这个阶段风大的死 亡,那么在要死的人幻象的感觉呢,或者觉得“哎呀,给我脚上盖一盖呀,风好大呀!风好大呀!”实际上没有风,就是这种感觉,实际是内在的风要散了、这个气 要散了。所以这个时候,风大死亡这个阶段还可以救药的,不管中医西医、乃至明白的医生啊,地下医生、天上医生,有办法这个时候还可以医得回来。所以像西医 嘛,靠氧气来把他命吊住;氧气是帮忙吊住这个命,还想办法想把他医好。不过啊,大部分现在的情况,一上了氧气已经想不出别的办法了,只好等时间了。如果没 有氧气的帮助,很快就死了。那么四大的死亡,这个时候,或者那个将死的人感觉到,“啊,都是……”进入弥留状态,迷迷糊糊,“啊,”觉得非常可怕!一切境 况都不对了,眼睛看到、眼识所看到的啊,黑暗、迷迷糊糊了。跟着来的是什么呢?水大分散,到了这一步呀,就很难救了,一定会死了。水大分散是什么?这个呼吸到了那里,这个呼吸“呃、呃……”那个死人 快要死的时候“呃、呃……”。这个时候啊,还有,你注意,下面的肛门也要打开了,放屁了、大便流出来了。所以有一个医生自己晓得,自己是医生,年纪大了, 儿女也是医生,帮着都围着医,他自己指挥的,用什么药给我打,用什么针给我打,最后他说不要打了、不要打了,我肛门已经开了,就没有希望了。屁股肛门打开 大便流出来了。为什么?这个下面气脱掉了、下气下降了,所以要死的时候下面大便、尿都来了;上面“呃、呃、呃……”好了!好像我死过一样,很有经验的样子 (众笑)。当然我们大家过去死过了忘记了,都有这个经验(老师示:呃、呃……)没有咽下来,我们现在活着的人还咽下来,等到(老师示:呃、呃……)最后没 有了!上面这个气一出完,下面肛门一打开,走了。上下气一脱开就没有了。这个时候水大分散,身上流出汗了,下面大小便就是水大了,流掉了。那么身上出的 汗,这个时候你摸到他那个身上的汗[断录]。跟着这个意识的业力,假设这个人业重的,算不定看到你们大家都变成魔鬼相了,“哎呦,这魔鬼要来抓我了!”或 者自己做过坏事的,“哎呦,这些冤家都要来抓我,你看、你看、你看!某人要来抓我了,哎呀,不得了了!不得了了!”哎,就有这个道理了。这个时候天堂地 狱,你意识里头都形成了。那么在这个时候瞳孔放大了,(人)站在前面看到(感觉)很远。耳朵呢,你当面跟他讲的声音,所以你们大家念佛要助念,这个时候 “阿弥陀佛、阿弥陀佛”哪怕你念得那么大、放录音机放得“阿弥陀佛、阿弥陀佛”,你嗓门都叫破了,在他听得是(觉得)很远很远的,偶然听到“阿弥陀佛”, 引起他注意,已经不得了了,很好了。恐怕那个意识散了,还不能……那个音乐不凑巧,你“阿弥陀佛”,你“陀佛阿弥”他也没有办法了,他等于一个业力把它隔 住了,这股力量,既不是上帝也不是菩萨,都是自身唯识所变的业力,把他隔住了。如果这一生的修持心清净呢,平常熏修(这个“熏”字)惯了的,一听到引磬“叮……”这个声音,“啊,阿弥陀佛!”这个时候念、念头里,所以 叫你们平常念佛,不是嘴里念啊,这个时候没有办法在嘴里念“阿弥陀佛”,你们搞错了!一般人跟那个死人讲,说:“你念啊!念阿弥陀佛啊!”我站在旁边: “哎呀,你真是该死!”那个死人叫人家:“你念啊!念阿弥陀佛呀!”他会念,他就不死了(众笑)!有一次我骂一个朋友的儿子,我说:“你滚开!他会念他就 不死了!”真是不会念了,这个时候叫念佛是心里意念晓得就对了嘛。所以“某人啊,你注意念佛啊!”念、心念念到这个佛,不是(嘴里念,)嘴里念不出来“阿 弥陀佛”四个字的呀!是心里有一个佛的印象,对了!他就有办法了,就不会堕落了。啊,碰到这些莫明其妙的佛婆婆佛妈妈佛公公们:“你念啊!阿弥陀佛啊!你 快要念啊!”吵死人!这就像街上送丧的一样,又吹、又闹、又打,我叫它又在吵死人了。死人死在棺材蛮好,他又在后面又吹、又打、又敲锣,不是吵死人吗?这 个时候就不要去吵死人,那他听的声音很远。那么这个时候呢,跟着很快了,我们讲话很慢,这是很正常的死亡,这是讲的、报告的都是非常正常的死。那么要死的时候,就看到,自己“哦!不 得了!”好像“下大雨呦!”这是看业力了,业力重的人觉得“哎哟!不得了,我掉到海边去了!掉到海里了、掉到水里了。”“噢!下大雨呦!”狂风暴雨都来 了,这个风是什么?这个里头(自己身体里)散掉的风——狂风。暴雨是什么?身上的水大分散。这是看你平常做人、修持、善恶的业力。假使这个人是善人死亡, 心地好的人,这个时候也晓得汗流了,觉得:“哎呀,怎么好像湿湿的啊。”有这么一个感觉,水分就觉得轻,业力就觉得轻。当然你看大家做梦,我们大家都做过 梦的啊,我们在座没有一个没有做过梦嘛。有没有人梦中经常梦到是天晴的?很少吧?梦中那个境界都是迷迷糊糊地,没有看到过大太阳照的晴天,懂了吧?假设有 修持的人,临死的时候正是大太阳的晴天、无念、很清静,而且光明遍现。所以叫你们现在修持就是这个啊!现在没有修持,你们大家在打坐、修道,说功夫好,坐 起来还不是眼前一片漆黑?偶然亮一下,那个亮像光影门头晃一下有什么用啊?啊,你生死还有把握啊?一点把握都没有的!少在那里自己吹牛了。不要骗自己了。 这个时候所以呀普通人就觉得掉到海洋里了,害怕得很!而且都是黑暗、狂风暴雨,要讲话已经没办法了,想告诉前面的亲人,没有办法了。这个时候就很快要死亡 了。很快、很快、一刹那。像我们讲话半天了,死得时候没有那么慢。然后已经快要死了。觉得、意识到了这个时候做不了主了,第六意识渐渐分散完了。所以你跟 他讲话,他:“啊、啊……啊……谁、谁啊?啊……”就这样的。你晓得这个意识分散了。因为我学得很像啊,当然我好像死过的样子,哈!真的死过,大家都死 过,可是大家忘记了;大家又投生过,可是忘记了;你真记得,就是定力了。那么这个死亡到这个时候,跟着是火大分散,身体冷却了,这个水分一出、汗一流以后,身体就开始凉了,那个不是凉——冰了。冰到哪里,火大分 散了,地、水、火、风。暖——冷却到什么地方,就死亡到什么地方。所以唯识心意识这三个字:暖、寿、识,三样是连着的。意识心、精神还在生命上、在这个肉 体上,就有暖气。有暖,识就还在、心识还在。所以他的寿命还存在。到火大分散的时候,水大分散过了,火大分散到、冷却到哪里,死亡到哪里。那么这个时候, 医生就可以测验了。如果我们把人体(按)佛学分成六道,上三道:“天”、天道,升天,这个天分三十三天,六十多层、六十多种,都是天道。“阿修罗道”,普通叫 “魔”,不是那么难看的魔,也是天的一种,就是人里头的好人坏人,天里头的好天坏天,是阿修罗、阿修罗道。人道,再投身变人。这都还属于上三品、上三道。 下三道呢?就差了,下三道的高级一点:“畜生”,变猪啊、变牛啊、变马、变狗。差一点:“饿鬼”,就是我们讲鬼啦,鬼就是这些东西。再差的:下“地狱”。那么我们怎么样分别呢?这个人体非常明显的。如果这个人死亡的时候,一身上面开始冷了,最后足底心还暖的——下地狱去!不过这种人,你摸不 到的,话是那么讲;凡是这一类人不得正死。啊,我们过去看得很多,现在在医院里的比较不同了。过去有我们有很多大家、了不起的人,地位高、学问好、名气 大、年龄又大,活到八九十岁,老太爷一辈子怎么怎么好,最后死的时候,房间里不要睡、床上不能睡,硬要躺在地上爬,最后都要爬到猪栏、狗窝里头去死。过去 很多哦!现在有医院,有护士管理没有办法。但是在台北我也看到几个人,修道的,道德平常都是——唉呀,什么老师、什么老师,高得不得了,道高得不得了,最 后死啊,自己不晓得莫明其妙跑到马路死在阴沟里。最后人家把他弄去到医院救活了,身上也没有身份证,搞不清楚是谁,最后把他救活了,活了在医院躺了三天, 他又偷偷跑出来,又死在阴沟里。你说什么道理呢?当然我也不敢保证将来连阴沟还没有资格死,那就更糟糕了!啊,对不对?那这个果报很难说,不要笑人家,这 是讲道理给大家听。不一定的,这是果报,业力使然。果报,不是上帝、也不是阎王、也不是城隍、也不是菩萨给你,都是自己造的。平生的个性,构成了你的结 果,非常注意!那么所以这一类的人、下地狱的人,老实讲,你摸足心还是摸不到呢!如果说一身都冷却了,最后膝盖头一带这还暖和的,只有膝盖头这样一摸还有一点,不是很暖,比全身的冰、冰起来这一部分比较暖——恶鬼道。如果这一个(这一类可以有机会摸到了),这一身上面都死完、冰完了,肚脐一带、下部一带还温暖的——畜生道。不过畜生道死的人都很难看,样子变得很难看,都变了形、怪模怪样的。如果说一身都冷了,心窝子还暖和的——人道再来,人中再来,还会投胎做人。这一类的人死得一定蛮清楚的,然后看看儿子啊、女儿呀、媳妇啊, 看到这个掉两滴眼泪呀,那个看看:“恐怕我靠不住啦,啊、啊,你们好好做人吧……啊”,这一类的人,样子也不错。那么最后死了吧,好像看起来很安详。你摸 摸他全身都冰了,这里(心窝)还暖和,最后冷,还要维持好几个钟头,两三个、三四个钟头不一定,最后冷——人中再来,人道再来。如果有些人,一身都冷了,这里最后还暖和的——天道。头顶,所以往生希望、最后这里还暖,一定上升的,没有问题!但是这一类人死亡的样子比 较好看了,或者还脸红红的呀,高血压一样,死得很安详啊、笑眯眯的呀,有道的人才做得到。普通人不大笑了,不过很安详了,睡去了一样。可有两种哦,这样是 天道。如果上面是最后冷却,样子有一点发脾气的,很愤怒的样子——阿修罗道。所以这个一念呀,一念,譬如说大家有许多平常做人,个性坏、脾气容易郁闷、爱 闹情绪的,动不动心里就烦、生气、高兴,实际上就是人中的阿修罗了,我告诉你。脾气古怪,已经是人中的阿修罗,不上正道了。你以为阿修罗一定是天道中有 啊?这古怪,鬼鬼怪怪,这一类的人已经是人中阿修罗,面孔也不同的,你一看就一望而知。但在知道的不说而已,这个东西不能说明的。所以这是阿修罗道,也是 上升。不过是古怪,有气恨。所以说,要死亡的时候,最好不要碰他,这样碰他的时候,他还有知觉的。不是(感觉,)感觉没有了,知觉还有。所以有时候,你看人快要断气, 你一搬动他,马上他眉头会皱起来,脸色就变了,就表示他那个知觉不高兴,你不要动他。我们要知道,到了这个时候死亡啊,为什么还暖呢?刚才注意,暖、寿、 识三位一体,那个地方还没有冷却,第八阿赖耶识没有完全离开,“去后”,知道吧?要死的时候第八阿赖耶识最后死亡。最快死亡是第六识。第六识什么叫、就是 我们讲的神志昏迷了,这第六识先死,第六识是我也不知道有我了,那就不谈了。前五识跟着第八阿赖耶识会有连贯的,所以这一个气将断未断之间,他的六根可用 的话,眼睛耳朵还可以用,赶快把它挖出来、冷冻起来,第六识的功能余力还在,还可以移植到好人的眼睛里头,还可以起作用的。你说那两个识啊,这不是一人眼 睛里头变成两个识了?不是的,阿赖耶识一切众生共同的、共通的啊。所以现在说移植的功能绝对通的呀。前五识跟着第八阿赖耶识,前五识是第八阿赖耶识的现 量,要记得啊。所以,这个第八阿赖耶识死亡的时候离开身子,“去后”,最后走的叫“去后”,啊,我们死亡,这个是讲正常的了。哎呀!几个人能够到正常而死 啊?所以我同老年朋友经常讲,哎呀,你们学佛学道不要吹大牛啦,活着健康长寿、无病无痛,死的时候不拖累自己、不麻烦别人,就行了。谁能做到?能够做到这 样,不叫做仙呢,也叫做巅了!啊!那也是成仙成佛了,谁能做到?要死死不掉、医院里住两三个月,拖累了自己也很痛苦啊,麻烦到旁边的人多痛苦啊!...

To summarize it, death is a painful process especially for those who don't practice diligently. Don't touch or move around the dead person's body coz they will feel miserable. He also talk about organ transplant but I am more concerned on the prerequisites of it which is not mentioned.

I also quite confused why donating organ is a good deed, but then it is advised against by some buddhist or even monks. however i learnt one thing here, that is not to force people to do what he does not like to. we cant force others to donate, cos if he not willing, he is the one to suffer in the end.
my mom is a buddhist, yet she chose to opt out. I was puzzled initially by her decision. but realised after reading this thread,that i should not be unhappy. its is just like promoting buddhism to the people. if they dont like to listen, we should not push further( it depends on fate, and their level of wisdom. just like ppl preaching about christianity. i dont like, but polite to refuse, so i just block away part of the conversation. (side track a bit!)
