Do people have souls?

Of course.

In modern terms, people are composed of matter (body) and spirit (soul). Once they die, the body gradually decays, while the soul is drawn by the karma of the habits and karma during life and continues to go down. Because a body has not practiced cultivation and cannot control the direction of its soul, it will be reincarnated repeatedly in six different life spaces, then die, and then be reincarnated again. This is called "six paths of reincarnation." These six paths are called "the path of heaven, the path of asuras, the path of humanity, the path of parasitism, the path of hell and the path of hungry ghosts". Among them:

1. When a person dies, unless he is a person of great loyalty and great evil (good and evil are judged and he enters reincarnation directly), he will be reincarnated into the six realms of reincarnation within 49 days.

2. If you help recite Amitabha Buddha at the moment of death, or recite Ksitigarbha Sutra one to seven times within 49 days of death, you will surely be blessed by the power of Amitabha Buddha or Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, or bring karma. Be reborn in the Western Paradise; or be reborn in the Pure Land of the Buddha.

3. How to know where the deceased went? Touch the body of the deceased 24 hours after death (preferably with constant chanting) and judge based on the last cooled part (remember not to touch in advance, because During this period, the soul is separated from the body, and the senses are extremely sharp. A small touch is like a heavy blow, and it is easy to become troubled and fall directly into the three evil realms):

1) If a person dies , it starts to get cold from the feet, then goes to the top of the head. Finally, only the top of the head is warm, while other places are cold, you can know that he has become a saint.

2) If after a person dies, it starts to get cold from the feet down to the eyes, and finally only the area between the eyebrows between the eyes is warm, while other places are cold, then you can know that he has ascended to heaven. .

3) If after a person dies, it starts to get cold from the feet down to the pit of the heart, which is the location of the Tanzhong point. In the end, only the pit of the heart is warm, while other places are cold, you can know that he is The next generation will still be human beings.

4) If after a person dies, it starts to get cold from the top and continues to the lower abdomen. Finally, only the lower abdomen is warm, which is the location of the Dantian point, and other places are cold, you can know He becomes a hungry ghost.

5) If after a person dies, it starts to get cold from the top down to the knees, and finally only the knees are warm and the rest of the body is cold, you can know that he has become an animal.

6) If after a person dies, it starts to get cold from the top down to the feet, and finally only the soles of the feet are warm, while other places are cold, then he will go to hell to suffer.
