지장경: 이익존망품(산 자와 망자를 이롭게 함), 5부 중 2부 (2015년 8월 11일)

They can leave the evil destiny forever if relatives pray for them and give offerings to the Buddha’s image and all that and continue to do good deeds on their behalf. He will be born as humans or gods, and receive supremely wonderful bliss. The surviving relatives will also receive limitless benefits. All these killing, harming of sacrifice are the least helpful for the deceased. Such acts only bind up the conditions of offenses, so that they grow even more deep and heavy. I see that beings of Jambudvipa will themselves receive the benefit of any good deeds they are able to do within the Buddha’s teaching. That holds true even when the deeds are as small as a strand of hair.
