Who decides your destination in the afterlife?

"What happens to me after I say goodbye to this world? If there is heaven or hell, will I be able to return to heaven?" Have you ever had a moment when such worries crossed your mind?

Heaven and hell actually exist. For you, it is certainly not just a fantasy.

This time, let us convey the spiritual truth of who decides your destination after death and how they do it.

【1】 The first shock is being shown your own life!

Now, the soul that has left the body and embarked on a journey to the afterlife encounters a series of shocking events...

Watched over by many spirits who have passed away before, you are shown all of your earthly life as if on a screen. Strangely, the decades of life are displayed in a short time, and things you have forgotten or thoughts you had in your heart are also revealed.

In this screening, not only actual actions but also the emotions and thoughts of others can be felt vividly, leading to a deep sense of happiness, sadness, suffering, and remorse, allowing you to reflect on various aspects of life.

【2】 Reflecting on your life before death

While watching the screen, the audience, who are also reflecting on themselves, applaud during scenes of good deeds and good thoughts, and react critically during scenes of bad deeds and bad thoughts.

※Reflection means to discard each bad aspect of oneself in light of the shining self that should exist as a child of Buddha, and to strive not to have such thoughts or actions again.

You should check as well

□ I respect and revere Buddha and gods
□ I valued my family
□ Even when I was sick, I made an effort to keep smiling
□ I never gave up in the face of difficulties

□ It's fine to think bad things in your heart
□ I often complain and express dissatisfaction
□ Even though I know it's wrong, I tend to be swayed by those around me
□ I have a strong sense of jealousy towards others

【3】 Deciding your own destination

In this world, you can deceive the eyes of others, but in the afterlife, it is a world with a transparent heart like glass, so that cannot be done.

When you can no longer forgive yourself in light of your conscience, you understand your own destination and some choose to undergo further soul training in the hellish world by their own choice.

Your destination in the afterlife is determined by how you live in this world.

As a price for the freedom given by Buddha, it is necessary for people to reflect on their mistakes and repent. Therefore, reflection before death is important, and it is very important to correct your heart on a daily basis.

Do you know that there is a thing called "the sin of not reflecting"? Reflection must be done either in this world or in the afterlife.

As learned this time, if you do not do it in this world, you will have to do it in the afterlife. If you do it in this world, you will not have to do it in the afterlife. Therefore, it is essential to know the standard for understanding the correctness of thoughts and actions, which is the truth of Buddha's teachings. That is why the practice of faith includes a habit of reflection.

You should often self-reflect and think, "In the remaining years of my life, it may be impossible to do everything, but I must correct what I can before returning to the afterlife."
