Honouring the Departed : A Buddhist Perspective
The ancient Chinese custom of making food offerings to departed relatives, which was also in practice in India during the Buddha's time, is still very much alive today in Asia. Is this custom in keeping with Theravada Buddhist beliefs? Are such offerings of any use to the departed? What is the proper way of honouring the departed? This booklet attempts to answer these questions.
