Question 64: If a person has been dead for many days, can assisted Buddha-recitation still enable rebirth?
Answer to Q64: Even if several days have passed after death, so long as the consciousness has not yet taken rebirth, assisted Buddha-recitation on their behalf can still enable rebirth. This is evidenced by the case of Guan Ying’s father, recorded on page 338 of Records of Responses to Buddha-Recitation, Volume Three. He attained rebirth through assisted recitation eighteen days after death.
64問：死後多日的人，助念還能往生嗎？
答：雖死多日，若神識尚未投胎，則為其助念，仍能往生。《念佛感應錄》第 三集第338頁冠瑛之父，死後十八日助念得生，即是其證。
Namo Amituofo!
