b) 15 months ago, when my father passed away, I asked the Taoist priest "Now what happen?" His reply was "His soul now travels through the various gates of hell, and you should do various rites to ease his journey as his soul embarks on the long and difficult journey."
c) In time to come, when I pass away, Jesus had assured me that he had prepared a place in heaven for me to be forever.
Now what about LKY, a great man, who had passed away a few months ago? He declared that he was a nominal Buddhist. He was not a Christian or a Taoist. He had done good, extremely good deeds during his lifetime, although he did hurt a few people while doing good to the rest of Singapore.
So during the SG50 Parade at the Padang, a seat was still reserved for him. On the chair he was supposed to be seated, a sprig of yellow orchid said it all.
Did he managed to come back to enjoy the SG50 celebration on 9 August, with all the people he served during his lifetime?
A friend of mine commented that LKY was there at the celebration on 9 August. "He would surely make his way back to witness the Jubilee anniversary of the nation. He was the father of the nation."
I think he was a great man during his lifetime. Christian or non-Christian, God would have bestowed special reward to him who had done so much for Singapore. Not biblical; just sensible thinking.
I think he was around during the SG50 celebration too. Such a saintly guy, although not religious, could not be travelling in the gates of hell.
