Question 60: CAN SPIRITS MOVE FREELY ANYWHERE THEY WISH?

Question 60: CAN SPIRITS MOVE FREELY ANYWHERE THEY WISH?Answer: Although the spirit is no longer bound by the physical body, it is influenced by the merit and sin accumulated during its lifetime. Spirits with great merit can travel to many places, ascending and descending at will. In contrast, spirits with little merit are tied to a single place, unable to roam freely. Spirits burdened by grave sin may even be imprisoned in the realms of hell.Spirits lacking morality tend to behave corruptly, as they did while alive. They might be aggressive and violent, form gangs (factions),bully weaker spirits (lonely souls), or even be summoned by sorcerers and manipulated with food offerings to perform malicious tasks. The world of spirits is complex and challenging to manage, though specific deities are assigned to oversee and govern it.After death, animals also exist as spirits for a long time. These spirits often endure prolonged hunger and suffering because no one offers them food or prayers.However, suppose a spirit is fortunate enough to receive prayers from virtuous monastics. In that case, it may gain the attention and assistance of deities who can provide a stable place to reside, proper sustenance, and opportunities for spiritual practice. This is why many religions include rituals to pray for the deceased, as prayers hold significant value for the spirits of the departed. However, for these prayers to reach the deities who govern thatrealm, they must be conducted by virtuous monastics with spiritual strength. #Religions, #Buddhism, #DialogueBuddhismReligions, #Religious, #Buddhist, #Truedharma, #Meditation, #Enlightement, #Buddhatemple, #TheLawofKarma, #BuddhismforBeginners, #Janna, #JannaOrderMonastery,
