  Dear All,
  
  Depth09's father has sadly passed away this afternoon.
  
  Bohiruci has suggested that we do a cumulative recitation of the name of Amitaba Buddha for the next 5 days, and dedicate our total merit to her father, late Mr Chua Hang Oo on Thursay, 5th October 2006 at 7pm.
  
  Let's show our support to our dharma sister and her family, and wish them well in overcoming this enormous obstacle.

  Dear ALL CONCERNED,
  
  I sincerely appreciate your help and kind assistance.
  Your kindness is very much appreciated! Namoamitoufo!
  
  My father passed on peacefully.
  The remains of his bones were pinkish in color and marks of jade green,
  is this a good sign?
  
  I read that within these 49 days, he will accumulate great merits when we transfer and do merits on his behalf?
  Please advice any activities that i can take part in generating these merits for him?
  
  Appreciate your kind advices!
  
  Regards,

  Go on strict vegetarian diet for 49 days.
  
  Donate his belongings to non-profit charitable organisation using his name.
  
  Help the needy. Volunteer yourself.

  I heard that bones that were coloured is a good sign, but I am not too sure about whether they are relics.. Yes within this 49 days it is crucial to accumulate merits and transfer to him. Also if possible get a venerable or someone to speak the dharma to your father. Very often your father's antarabhava, or consciousness/intermediate body is still residing around within the 49 day period. You can attend pujas (fa3 hui4) etc and dedicate merits to your father.

  You are a filial daughter.
  One way is to learn from ksitigharba bodhisatva. One of his previous life, he want to save his mother who trancended into hell. He then make a vow to save all beings in hell before attaining buddhahood.
  Because of this merit that he share with his mother, his mother then born into heaven.
  In short, self practise and encourage other people to practise by preaching to them, this is what a bodhisatva does. ok, hope to see you more often in this forum.

  I think it is also important that you personally speak to your father and encourage him in chanting especially within the 49 day period.
