Highest
Gift to the Departed
The
Buddha says that the greatest gift one can confer on one’s dead ancestors is to
perform ‘acts of merit’ and to transfer these merits so acquired. He also says
that those who give also receive the fruits of their deeds. The Buddha
encouraged those who did good deeds such as offering alms to holy men, to
transfer the merits acquired and transfer to their departed. Alms should be
given in the name of the departed by recalling to mind such things as, ‘When he
was alive, he gave me this wealth; he did this for me; he was my relative, my
companion, etc.
(Tirokuddha
Sutta --Khuddakapatha)
