The friend who studied Buddhism answered! My father died in a car accident six years ago. At first, his portrait family advised me to burn it, saying it was not good for people to keep it.
Fate is not immutable, the laws of the world are impermanent, and fortune-telling is not allowed, especially the fate of practitioners. After I started practicing, I began to change my life. Of course, the premise is to do the five commandments and ten good deeds well and try to correct your own shortcomings.
People die like lights go out, everything is empty, only karma is in the body. The body has been destroyed, leaving the portrait and ashes empty, which actually makes no sense. Of course people in the world can't accept it. From the traditional culture of China, it may be a bit cold-blooded, but this is the truth of the six divisions in The Wheel of Karma, but people just don't want to believe it.
Therefore, it is true to be a good person when you are alive. Use this body to practice Buddhism, cherish what you have now, cherish the people around you, do more good deeds, and not do all kinds of evil things. After death, you can enter Buddhism.
Portraits can melt in temples. The car accident was a sudden death, and it was not that easy to pull out. It is best to do a ceremony. If you have the heart, you can also read the Tibetan Scripture 1-3 times a day, return your merits to your father, and pray that the Tibetan Bodhisattva will be merciful and get rid of karma as soon as possible, get rid of bitterness and happiness, and live a good life. Amitabha!
