Tirokuṭṭa Sutta: A Ceremony of Merit Transfer

We explore the ancient wisdom of the Tirokuṭṭa Sutta, the discourse in which the Buddha explains the plight of departed spirits and the true way to assist them. Learn why sharing merit through selfless giving to the monastic community is the most effective and compassionate way to help those who have passed on. It's a reminder that our good deeds have far-reaching consequences and that we can continue to connect with our loved ones through the power of compassion.
