| | Message of Heung Jin Nim from the Spiritual World January 1 |
 | | The ancestors are very sincere about fulfilling their responsibility to cleanse their descendants’ sins, which, as they learned during the workshop in the spiritual world, were passed down from ancestors like themselves. | | | They have liberated the spiritual world and have broken down the boundaries between religions in the spiritual world. | | | As True Parents performed the Total Liberation Ceremony, the walls in the spiritual world collapsed and the spirits in the spirit world were able to move freely. |

| | The worship of ancestors is a means of communication between the visible and invisible worlds, between the living and the dead, and is a means of expressing love and gratitude to ancestors. | | | Ancestor veneration was perpetuated also both by the precept of filial piety and the observance of rites for the ancestors. | | | Catholics may practice ancestor veneration and Buddhists may adhere also to the principles of Confucianism. |

| | Zazen Practice: Ceremony |
| | This ceremony is the central ritual act of the Zen school. | | | Its meaning, the enlightenment and liberation of all living beings, is not brought forth by the power of personal effort and is not brought forth by the power of some other. | | | In this realm of awareness that is the culmination of Zen practice, the liberation of all beings is realized. |

| | Hung states that the missionaries condemned the practice of ancestor worship in China and Taiwan; nevertheless, the Chinese Christians must adopt a more positive approach to the issue of ancestor worship rather than an outright condemnation of it which builds barriers to the gospel. | | | While he and his brother tried to maintain their Christian testimony by refusing to participate in all superstitious practices of the pagan funeral rituals, they also wanted to maintain harmony with the rest of their family and show their filial piety to their mother. | | | Annotation: Hung, who comes from a non-Christian home in which ancestor worship was faithfully practiced, describes his personal agony at the funeral rituals of his mother. |

| | Through ancestral healing, whether through prayers, rituals, or ceremonies we can work to heal our ancestors in the spirit realm so that they can help us to heal in the living for a better way of living. | | | This article further makes it clear that many cultures, both sophisticated and primitive, pay a great deal of attention to the ancestral family line proving that this form of veneration is one of the most widespread of all religious belief systems. | | | Let the light I offer to their souls inspire clemency, liberation, faith, love and harmony from today onward. |

| | Rethinking the Practice of Mizuko Kuyo in Contemporary Japan: Interviews |
| | Mishima told us, for example, that she has always been interested in kuyo for the ancestors and sees mizuko kuyo as an extension of this practice, although she does admit that there are differences, the major one being that with mizuko there are no death anniversaries to observe as there are for the ancestors. | | | At first glance the relationship does appear to be "liberated," since some of the women were not performing the kuyo at their traditional family temple, but closer scrutiny reveals the establishment of a parallel environment. | | | Her mother initially went to the family temple (bodaiji) which is Tendai-shu for mizuko kuyo, but since it is over two hours away, she changed to Honpoji when she saw the sign in front of the temple. |
