49 days after Choi Jin Shil’s death/ photo story

Family and Friends gathered around the tomb of the late actress Choi Jin Shil to commemorate her death. They are all still in pain. I hope they will all be okay soon.

In Buddhism 49th day of death is really important. During the 49 days friends and family should be encouraged to do the meditation practice of tonglen is an effort to assist the deceased with any difficulties in going through the bardo experience. It is believed that “letting go” will actually aid the deceased on their journey and to cling or to be overly attached may impede their progress through the bardo. On precisely the 49th day following the person’s death the process is repeated – again reciting the Sukhavati chant. Then the photo of the deceased is burned once again with a sense of letting go. It is believed that on the 49th day the deceased takes rebirth.
