My mom died almost a month ago she wasn't one of the blond dancers in the video but she could have been. We're Buddhist and we believe in reincarnation she will be dancing again in a new life but she'll try to save the planet at the same time.

1. Tabasco_Dave, I don't know what kind of Buddhism you practice, but the Buddhism that I practice...

teaches something that I think is better than any idea of heaven I've ever heard of, and my personal experience confirms this to me to be real. When we pass from a lifetime, we simply leave our bodies and expand out into the universe, filling it the way that a gas would fill a room.

My experience, and the experience of many people I know, is that the loved one is then free to be with anyone and everyone that they love, just not in their bodies and usually not visible. Your mom's heaven is to be right there with you, and that's where she is right now, right there with you and loving you, and hopefully at some point you will feel her there.

To me this is way better than the idea that they go away somewhere and we have to wait till we die to be near them again. Do you agree?

2. And P.S., if you feel like she's dancing then I think that's what she is doing!

4. Your absolutly right. I stand Corrected!

I know she just talked through you. Saw some of your older posts. Im a SGI member too.

For one who summons up one’s faith and chants Nam-myoho-renge-kyo with the profound insight that now is the last moment of one’s life, the sutra proclaims: “When the lives of these persons come to an end, they will be received into the hands of a thousand Buddhas, who will free them from all fear and keep them from falling into the evil paths of existence.”5 How can we possibly hold back our tears at the inexpressible joy of p.217knowing that not just one or two, not just one hundred or two hundred, but as many as a thousand Buddhas will come to greet us with open arms!

She chanted with me till the last moment of death. PM me if you want. In 20 years she'll dance like that again!

6. ancianita, I'm so glad to have been part of giving you hope! There is always hope to be found, and

9. Thanks!

7. Yes, she will! You are so fortunate that your mother chanted at the end of her life! My mother

wanted to but was afraid - I couldn't convince her that she wouldn't have to give up being Catholic if she chanted. My father, however, chanted during three different periods of his life, and always got amazing benefit. During the last weeks of this lifetime he chanted away his pain. He said he didn't even have to chant very much for the pain to go away.

Now that they have passed, I feel them with me always, and they're so happy!

We are so lucky to have found the SGI and this amazing practice!
