Question asked by Sofi
Dear Rinpoche,
I thank you for your answer to my question which is helping me to learn to accept the state that my deceased father is in. I hav been advised to sponsor a puja and animal liberation dedicated soley to him and then to let go. However, I think that I will always hav that niggling thought of what if he is still around and by my letting go, he will suffer even more. Currently I will visualize him doing the prayers/pujas with me and whenever I offer incense at his plaque, I will advise him to let go to go for incarnation and to practise dharma in his new rebirth. I very much hope that you can advice me on how I really may help my father with a good and swift rebirth.
Dear Sofi,
Whether your father is staying around you or takent a new rebirth, pujas and animal liberation dedicated to him WILL DEFINITELY benefit him.
Pujas are dedicated to the mindstream of your dad who has taken a new form now, so whatever form he is in, you can dedicate merits to him.
