When a human passed away (albeit all sentinent beings), the life consciousness of the human will passed over (life consciousness continuum) into a Bardo state - where the 4 Great Elements are no longer prominent, but the 5 Mental Aggregates become heightened and prominent.

During this state, karma calculation will take effect.

If the deceased of the loved ones, undertake spiritual prayers to keep the deceased Bardo state of consciousness - in a wholesome state, with all the deceased karma calculated plus the deceased Bardo state of Mental Aggregate - will determined the Deceased rebirth into a next realm.

Assume that the Deceased has good karma and is destined to a Heavenly state or even into a Nirvana state, the Deceased love ones make use of those dancers in lustful dancing - will in fact disturbed the Deceased Mental Bardo state - and cause the Deceased to be rebirth in Human realm again - due to the arising of 12 Dependant Origination of Life - by invoking the Deceased Lust - or desire for rebirth.

This will be very unfortunate.

Thus funeral ceremony must be solemn, dignified and if possible, spiritual.

The lustful dancing is an unwholesome act.

A person who in Nirvana - can clearly see "the Piercing of the Nirvana Fruit - by a single stray thought from Samsara State".

The Dharma Wheel on the left demonstrate - outside the Dharma Wheel are all stray thoughts. One stray thought of Lust - pierce the Nirvana Fruition - and trigger the Birth on Samsara Earth.

In human rebirth form - it is a sperm that penetrate the Egg in the Womb.

So Buddhism did taught Jesus ---- using analogy of Adam & Eve.

Everyone understood?

  Thus, to ensure the Deceased rebirth into a good realm (taking into account the Deceased karma --- the calculation of good things he do in life and bad things he do in life) ----- prayers by invoking the "Burning of bad karma and manifesting his good karma) ---- will be the key.
  
  Thus Buddhism always recite the 地藏经 - 消业障。
  
  This will help the Deceased to accelerate his pay back time to speedily eradicate and go through his bad karma --- and rebirth into a better realm.

      Now, why is it possible to explain the life-continuum consciousness - from Human state to a rebirth state from a Bardo state?
      
      This is because, Human who attained Nirvana (or Enlightenment) - will go through the same process known as 脱胎换骨。 or 小化身。
      
      Where a Human can traverse into many realms - in Enlightenment and enter into the final realm of Nirvana - where Physical attribute of 4 Great Elements are no longer prominent - and where the Mental Faculty of 5 Mental Aggregates become dominant - where its consciousness will transform into the respective consciousness of the various realms.
      
      When this happen, it is possible to traverse into Heavenly realms, Nirvana realms, Hell realms etc ---- and many "visions or insights arises".

          This is to tell Human to :-
          
          "Do Good.
          Refrain from Evil."
          
          Do Good - bring Good Karma.
          Do bad - bring bad karma.

          Karma is like Accounting.
          
          Do Good - Good Karma - More Credits.
          
          Do bad - bad karma - more debits.
          
          Good Karma - More Credits - Good Rebirth eg. Heavenly Realms.
          
          bad karma - more debits - bad rebirth eg. Hungry Ghosts realm, Hell realm.
          
          When attain Nirvana - and enter into PariNirvana - karma cease (no more karma) ---- and enter into Nirvana - no birth, no death, karma cease, no more sufferings, eternal Bliss.
          
          In Nirvana, Accounting - is clear - equilibrium - no more credits, no more debits.

            During the calculation of karma, visions and visions of the karma appear, bad karma appears, good karma appears ......... where in Taoism - it says the 判官 use the 生死簿 to read out the good deeds and the bad deeds to the deceased - and then make judgement - on which realm the Deceased will rebirth.
            
            But in actual case, everything appear in the Mental State - the Bardo State.
            
            Now everyone can see --- all religions when combine together --- can see the whole picture.

              ricky is typical example of a one-sided brain preaching.
              my advice to him is to open up, get out of the box and
              acquire much more knowledge cos knowledge is the
              key to everything in life. some recommended readings
              are; 'the 12th planet', 'the epic of gilgamesh', 'omnec onec',
              gnosticism, 'inside the flying saucer' and....many more

                The West call this knowledge "God".
                
                But this are actually "MetaPhysics" - knowledge yet to be understood by mundane human.
                
                But understood by supramundane humans.

                  MetaPhysics - are mental states not found in mundane human - but are acquire by humans who have attained supramundane mental states.
                  
                  MetaPhysics knowledge has contributed significantly to the discovery of advanced physics, the Creation, Evolution of the Physical Universe.

                  Einstein comments about "MetaPhysics" :-
                  
                  " Buddhism has the characteristics of what would be expected in a cosmic religion for the future: It transcends a personal God, avoids dogmas and theology; it covers both the natural and the spiritual, and it is based on a religious sense aspiring from the experience of all things, natural and spiritual, as a meaningful unity. and
                  
                  2) Buddhism is the only religion able to cope with modern scientific needs – Einstein"

                  Because Mental States reflect the Physical States.

                Unless if your karma is so good - that despite your relatives "add points", "maintain points" or "minus points" - it will not affect you.
                
                This will happen when if your Bardo state is at Jhana Samadhi or Nirvana Fruition or in good mindfulness or good concentration when your passed away - so that your Mental State will under no circumstances be able to be affected by your environment that will disturb your mind.
                
                When Buddha is passing away, Buddha in His Sleeping position - enter into 1st Jhana Samadhi and then enter into Nirvana before entering PariNirvana - and when His Bodies was cremated --- Buddha's Mind is in Perfect Calm State of Nirvana, specifically PariNirvana ---- this is the Supreme Perfect State.

                ====
                Acting as God?
                In Buddhism, we do not have the concept of "God" - but we do have concept of "Heavenly Beings".
              • Been to heaven - any Buddhists don't aspire to go to Heaven - Buddhists aspire to attain Nirvana - because in Buddhism, Heavens are realm of existence that will demise one day - just like Earth, just like the Universe.
              • One need not physically go to Heaven to understand Heavenly realm beings.
                Just like, if one do a video call - one can see and talk to the person in another Country.
                If one do a telephone call - one can talk to another person in another Country.
                All is needed is to dial the right number, right radio frequency or right channel.
              • Similarly, the same in understanding, communicating and experience Heavenly realms - as is needed the right consciousness - the consciousness of Heavenly realms - will have transcend into the Heavenly realms.
              • Buddhism understanding of Heavenly realms are more profound and in far greater details than any religions.
              • Specifically, there are 3 Heavenly realms and in each Heavenly realms there are many sub-realms. In each realms and in each sub-realms, the Heavenly Beings consciousness are different.
              • To understand, to communicate and to immerse in the respective realms, the correct mix of consciousness need to be in place - which is akin to the right telephone number, the right video channel, the right radio frequency, the right TV channel.
              • And lastly, there is no desire to preach. This is a forum page, a page for knowledge sharing, for information sharing - to dispel ignorance - so that when the appropriate things and things are done right, then sentinent beings will have less sufferings.
              • Whether a person believe, listen and do the right things - it is up to that person. The choice is his.
              • The "medication is there" - whether the patient want to consume it to cure its illness - or whether he choose not to take the medicine is all up to him.

                Now to explan Heaven in more detail, many relgions state that there are only 1 Heaven, 1 Hell and 1 Earth.
              • Buddhism explain that there are far more realms as the 3 realms describe above - in fact 10 realms. In each realms, there are many sub-realms.
              • Now just to explain Hell alone - it is not just 1 Hell.
                In total, there are 8 Great Hell - where Avici Hell is the Greatest sufferings. And with minor Hells - there are altogether 168 hell realms.
              • For Heavenly Realms - it is not just 1 Heaven, but 3 Heavenly Realms.
              • (1) Sensual Desire Heavenly realms 欲界天 - the closet heavens to Human beings - where its consciousness and sensual desires are very close to Humans - but mostly in heightened pleasurable forms - unlike Humans that have unpleasurable consciousness and feelings.
                In total, there are 6 sub-realms in this Heavenly realms - with varied combination of consciousness and different lifespan.
              • (2) Form Heavenly realms 色界天 - these Heavenly realms is the first transformation of mundane consciousness to supramundane consciousness - where it befit the term 脱胎换骨。
                The consciousness are beyond what mundane human experience - albeit different from other lower realms mundane consciousness - including Sensual Desire Heavenly consciousness.
                Specifically these 5 Supramundane Consciousness replace Humans 5 mundane Mental Aggregates.
                In total, there are 4 sub-realms in these Heavenly realms with varied combination of consciousness.
              • (3) Formless Heavenly realm 出色界天 - this Heavenly realms transcend beyond physcial spaces that encompass the entire Universe - as Formless attribute traverse into space without border - limitless, boundless, borderless, virtual, profound, vastness, space, depth.
                There are 4 sub-realms in this Heavenly realms specifically :-
                (1) Infinite space
                (2) Infinite consciousness
                (3) Perception, Non-Perception 是相非相天
                (4) Nothingness, No-nothingness 非想天非非想天
                The above 3 Heavenly Realms - will have different lifespan --- so long that it was thought to be Eternal - but it will still end one day.
                
                The last - however is Nirvana (which is not a Heavenly Realm) - this is the realm where it is Eternal, Timeless, No beginning/No end, where Karma cease, no birth, no death, no sufferings, Eternal Peace, Eternal Bliss.

                  Another analogy, do we need to be in US to witness US Presidential Election and the final result?
                  
                  We can see the US Presidential Election through TV, through social media, through news broadcast, through video recording posted in Youtube, through news paper etc.
                  
                  So do we need to physically go heavens to understand heavens?
                  
                  Same answer, no need to. You will only need to tune to the same "radio frequency", "channel" ---- which is the "correct mix of consciousness" to understand, to communicate, to immerse in the respective Heavenly realms.
