“Bhagavat! These sentient beings who are habitually inclined toward evil will always make some petty evil suddenly grow into an infinite and enormous one. Hence, while they are on the verge of death, their parents and other dependents should help to gather some capital for them so they can have resources to meet the challenges of the journey ahead… If these dying persons committed many evil deeds, then the deeds will magnetize the evil realms. However, when their relatives and dependents perform the Buddhist rites, their uncountable grave sins will be eradicated.” If the relatives and dependents of the newly deceased want to do more for the deceased, they can prevalently perform additional meritorious deeds within forty-nine days of the deaths, so that the deceased will forever stay away from the evil paths, and reincarnate in human or celestial realms to enjoy superb happiness. At the same time, those relatives and dependents will also gain infinite benefits for themselves.”
