It is interesting to know about the practice of having a meal with 7 dishes after the funeral possession and also, after meal with 8 dishes in HongKong. So far as i understand, there is no such practice here in Singapore. We usually only offer a vegetarian buffet, some sweets , nuts and red strings for friends who visit the funeral wake. 🙏🙂
In my understanding, it is helpful to keep low profile, humble and respectful and to try not to create animosity. And Try to always keep positive connection and express kindness to everyone we meet with. Even with people who may hurt or harm others, it is helpful to dedicate our prayers and merits for them to transform their afflicted minds and to quickly to awaken their Bodhicitta - this means they will awaken kindness and compassion and the resolve to practice with the motivation of Full Enlightenment of all mother sentient beings, that every being be free from the root cause of all sufferings and cyclic existence. Om Mani Padme Hung. 🙂🙏
