This wed, i went to buddhist funeral...
Well, is 2nd time i attend buddhist funeral, 1st time was my grandma (my mom's mom)..
Last time when my grandma passed away, i remember that, as a christian, we been told just to bow 3 times to my grandma (就是说没拿着joss stick来拜拜)
At sg, well, a lot of people are buddhist, even though christian are not few~
But from the funeral, they really differentiate religion by 'colour'..
white for christianity, yellow for buddhist~
Back to my story~
My ex-co's dad passed away, i not sure when, maybe since last week~
I never been to a buddhist's funeral, and really don't know what they 'pantang', made me quite nervous and hesitated to attend it~
As i get there, i just watch and follow my co's step...
Taking 3 joss sticks and bow for 3 times~~~
'Well, I'm christian leh, what da hack i holding joss stick??!!'
This question got pop up in my mind for a while, but I not worshipping Buddha, I was just paying respect to the dead~
So, I really not understand--->>>christian? forbidden to touch any related to Buddha??
I don't think so~~~ In my opinion, world is changing now, every person is not bound by their own religion any longer...
But maybe exceptional for some countries~
Then, how about those Buddhist that attend church or wearing necklace with the cross???
Is that means they are 'double-religious'???
...
...
These religious thing really makes me wondering a lot,
never have to thought of it as from my hometown, a lot of christianity, especially my family member..
Pure Christian? Pure Buddhist?
Well... Define it!! Cant found in dictionary or thesaurus as well~~~
Have own definition only~
For me...I'm Christian (even I don't go to church every Sun for worshipping)
N' I keep my faith for my God always~ (God bless everyone!)
