Death Rituals!

Buddhist Rituals

This ritual is not very weird as some others, the Buddhists believe that when a person dies it’s of extreme importance because they enter in a trance where they take 4 days to recognize that they are death, when they finally realize this they will see the light without freaking themselves being part of the light and rest in peace. During this, the monks pray for them and his body is burned.

Jewish Ritual

This ritual is very normal. When a person dies, their body should be clean before they put it in the tombstone; there are some priests or “holy society” that cares about the cleaning of the body. They can’t take the organs and the family can’t enter into the room of the cleaning. Before entering any jewish house they should wash their hands. After this process, the body will be covered and it’s going to be located in the middle of some lights. Then, after that they body can’t be alone for a long time.

DEATH!

DEATH


For me the concept of death is a concept that has been given during history, it’s part of the destiny of a person to find the death and it’s impossible to hide from it. As some cartoons and stories show, the death is seen as a spirit who decides whom he takes and in some stories there is a fight against it, although I believe that in reality it’s impossible to escape from it. The death is unpredictable except for the ones who try to find it. Where does it take the death souls? It’s uncertain but according to each religion, each person has the destiny to go to a place. In catholic religion, each person goes to God’s kingdom. It’s impossible to know until you die.
