xie xie, om obi, mengingatkan saya kembali jenis alam peta yang bisa menerima pelimpahan jasa kita.
Of these, certain petas known as Paradattupajivika, are able to free themselves from the peta life if they receive merits from living relatives.
The sharing of merits is beneficial not only to peta beings, but also to celestial beings. They take delight in saying sadhu.
In the Mahaparinibbana sutta of the Digha Nikaya, the Buddha said that devotees should invite monks endowed with morality to their new houses. Then they should do dana and share merits with celestial beings (devas).
Those devas will in return look after the devotees with loving kindness just as a mother protects her own children from danger. Such devotees protected by them will achieve success in their worldly life.
So the teaching concerning the sharing of merits with all living beings including departed ones, human beings and celestial beings is of great significance as well as the best way to support one another from the spiritual point of view.
