Yes, by tua li ya pek. Which temple got offer such service?
Any place with Hell deities can technically do it.

But not without good reason.

Curiosity, I would say.

What about those people who came back to life after being pronounced dead? There are stories about these people who saw things in the underworld during their short "stay" there.

Such people never really departed at all.

You might be interested to know that near-death or 'there and back' experiences, complete with visions of the underworld, heaven and/or gods, can be reproduced under laboratory conditions just by temporarily cutting off the human brain's blood and oxygen supply.

Curious, we often heard fr elderly during their last moments b4 they pass away, they tend to see souls or their passed away relatives nearby them. Or even at times, hell deities asking them to bid farewell b4 they take their souls. Any thought on this?

I'm a Rabbit, too, and my year has been pretty good thus far.

You're probably just making the all wrong decisions.

Those who are deserving of reuniting with their loved ones on the other side can and do get a welcoming committee.

And Hell deities will always be kind to the deserving.

I was told seeing dead relatives is not a good sign as it points to a rebirth in the netherworld (ghost realm). Some see fire of hell moment before they die. Some see ants (lots of it) crawling all over the room (animal rebirth).

Seeing red curtain-like thing is a good sign --> rebirth as a human (a woman's womb in next destiny).

And of course, if you see castles and huge gardens , congrats it's a rebirth in the god planes. BTW, the gods will know if you will appear in their place, so they will appear to you before you die, awaiting eagerly for your reappearance there smile.gif

It doesn't work that way.

You are not reborn the moment you take your last breath or even several moments/days afterwards.

Everyone must go to Hell for processing first, even those whose ultimate destination is Heaven.

The time between death and rebirth usually takes decades to centuries.

By the time someone is reborn, his own children may be long dead.

If you're deserving, perhaps.

But your problem doesn't strike me as one requiring divine intervention.

Several local sintuas are celebrating a feast day in honour of Ji Gong the Living Buddha today.

Here is a picture of Tua Ya Pek toasting him on this merry occasion.

I like this guy's course.

He presents and analyses myths in a very easily accessible, entertaining and inoffensive manner.

The animation accompanying his talks is adorable and smile-inducing.
