How to Deliver a Dead Relative to the World of Ultimate Bliss -- Lingwang

The other day I acted as Master Zhen Lin taught, to try to deliver my grandparents to the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss. The night after that, I dreamt of them each sitting on a lotus. Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva also appeared in the same dream.

I then told Master Zhen Lin the amazing experience. Master Zhen Lin said, “Yes, it is true. It has been experienced by many people. When the power of Buddha is applied correctly, you feel it personally. It is just as true as that.”

I am deeply touched by the power and bless of Buddha, also grateful to the guidance of Master Zhen Lin. I would like to write it down so that more can read the Mantra to help deliver your dead relatives to the World of Ultimate Bliss!

It is actually very easy: We read the Mantra contained in the the Sutra Of Casket Seal Dharani from the Secrete Whole Bodies’ Relics of all Buddhas' Hearts for seven times, and that’s it. They shall be freed from the torture of the hell and enter the World of Ultimate Bliss. Hopefully, more can read the Mantra for our dead ancesteros do deliver them.

Two points to note: 1-we need to observe vegetarian diet on the day when we do the delivery. 2-Do not do it between 11 am to 1 pm. Otherwise, the delivery may not be a success.

Steps:

1-Read the name of the relative___, and tell him/her, “I now shall read the Mantra of the Sutra of Casket Seal. I read it for you and hope that you shall enter the World of Ultimate Bliss upon the strength and merits of the Mantra.

2- Keep reading it for 7 times, and he/her shall make it with a lotus on his/her feet.

3-You may also tell the relative that, whether or not the delivery is a success, please send a message (in a dream, of course).

Master Zhen Lin had explained to us the “sending a message” as he talked on the Sutra on Casket Seal, “if you do the delivery with the Sutra, and after finishing reading the Mantra, you can make a wish by telling the relative, ‘I am a human being. I don’t know whether the delivery is a success. Please send me a message either it is or not.” If you say so, for sure your died relative will send you the message, sooner or later. It is for sure. The message will always come, even if it is not a success.”

It is not easy to read the Mantra. Before I did the delivery for my grandparents, I followed the mantra-recitation video clip available at Youku.com so as to learn how to pronounce it. http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_cz00XMTA3MTM4OTY=.html . Once familiar with its pronunciation, I lighted three incense sticks. If you don’t have it, it is also fine as long as you are sincere, and keep your body clean, and heart pure.

This is from what exactly the Sutra Of Casket Seal Dharani from the Secrete Whole Bodies’ Relics of all Buddhas' Hearts tells us: "If any bad person felt into the Hell, and he suffered seriously and did not know when he could be relieved, but if his son or grandson calls the dead person’s name and read this Dharani for seven times, the melting copper and hot iron shall become suddenly a pond with eight virtual water. A lotus flower shall carry him with a precious cover upon his head. The door of Hell will be broken and the road of Bodhi open. The lotus flower shall fly to the World of Ultimate Bliss. All the wisdom appears naturally. He is happy to speak and stay at a position of supplement of a Buddha."



Master Zhen Lin helps us understand what the verses mean as follows:

“I had already talked to you about this paragraph a few days ago. It tells us that we can use the mantra in the Sutra to deliver our dead relatives to the World of Ultimate Bliss. It has to be your relatives to be effective. The Sutra makes it clear, ‘if his son or grandson…’. That is to say, we can do it for our ancestors. We only need to read out his or her name. For example, “Mr. X, I now shall read the Mantra of the Sutra of Casket Seal. I read it for you and hope that you shall enter the Western Pure Land of Bliss upon the strength and merits of the Mantra.”.

You can either read the whole Sutra, or just the mantra. Reading the mantra shall work. When you finish reading it for seven times, he or her will soon be freed from the torture of the hell, and arrive a pond of lotus. It is very comfortable there. A lotus will grow under his or her feet. And, upon the lotus, he or her shall fly away to the World of Ultimate Bliss.

“All the wisdom shall appear naturally”. This means he shall be as powerful as a Bodhisattva. Actually he is. He is no different from Bodhisattva of Complete Enlightenment. A Bodhisattva of the 10th stage, not the first or the second. And Buddha Shakyamuni makes it clear to us in the Sutra, “He is happy to speak and stay at a position of supplement of a Buddha.” Staying at the position of supplement of a Buddha is what a Bodhisattva of the 10th stage enjoys. Therefore, if we use this mantra of the Sutra to do the delivery for our ancestors, they will be very happy. They can enter the World of Ultimate Bliss and become a Bodhisattva there! Certainly it is good for you, too. He shall always bless you. Once in the World, he can arrive to your side instantly as long as he wants. It is very fast for him to come to you.”

Amita-Buddha! Thank you, and my deepest homage to you!
