QUOTE(pastacarbonara @ Aug 9 2014, 09:07 PM) If the deceased was accorded with a Buddhist funeral, we would assume that the person is Buddhist isn't it? So in that case (strictly Buddhism), can we safely assume that during Ching Ming and Hungry Ghost Festival, worshipping of ancestor with food and burning of offering means nothing because his / her spirit has already passed on and re-incarnated? Both Buddhism and Taoism do believe in Hungry Ghost festival isn't it? But ceremonially, how do they differ? Hungry ghost festival has nothing to do with Buddhism...its cHinese culture, possibly Taoism (since Taoism is originated from the Chinese). But I dont want to assume...ask someone else who knows Taoism.Ermmm, did I say that my understanding was ultimately correct? I added the question "is my understanding correct?".  |
