2. Preparation for the next class "Death and Funerals"
A,Where do you go when you die?
My body is buried in the soil and under the grave.
My soul go to Heaven or Hell.
B. Explain why do Japanese have death memorial services 1 month, 1 year, 3 years, 7 years, etc. after a person's death?
I think Japanese do death memorial services many times not to forget people who die because we are told that we have to take care and treat our ancestor even if they died. Japanese people think Our ancestor is really significant and important because we think we would have not been born without our ancestor. therefore There are death memorial services not to forget them. Moreover, there are this times of the services because I guess people getting to forget them on this times.

Hi, shooting star.
On your blog, you said your soul will go to the heaven. Are you sure whether the heaven is really exist or not? Although I want to go to heaven when I die, I'm not sure about it. Why did you think so?
I think everyone are not sure the heaven is real or not becasue we can not know about it before dying. However, through our religion, I think there are something like heaven or hell after we die.
I guess that religions refrect our life and our mind without our intention. Ancient Japanese thought the death was not the end of their life. They described the death as a beautiful thing. That's why, we really don't know what will happen to us after our death but, we tend to think that there will exist another world. I mean Heaven or Hell.
