As an Asian and a Buddhist, I believe your experience with your Dad happened. The Asian Buddhist belief is that after a person dies, there is a period of 49 days where they exist between their former plane of existence and their next plane of existence. It is during this 49 day period that a deceased person can influence events or communicate with their former friends or loved ones to resolve any lingering regrets or unfinished business in the land of the living. I won’t go into detail of what happens after the 49 day period but you can find that information if you so desire. Thank you for sharing your experience. I enjoyed the read, Leslie!
