So it's just doing good deed & we will be blessed... Can I say it this way? Or is there any other meaning in doing this?

from my understanding its for good karma.

 

[flit07]

Really, how this good karma works is a mystery. Many ritual practices, be it for good or otherwise, I'd rather stay away.

In anyway, any good deeds as simple as giving correct direction to a stranger is as good as any other good deeds so long doing it with the right intention. 2 cents.

Merit Making:Ruamkatanyu Foundation (Bangkok) – Offering a coffin for a good cause Making merit is a way of life for most Thai people. There are many ways of making merit in Thailand such as giving alms to monks and setting captured animals free?? but coffin donation is unique. An old Thai proverb says : if you do good you will receive good; if you do evil you will receive evil.


Pls refer to the link below for the procedure

brought what home? the one you suppose to burn?

Think just burn it away....

 

[kdrama]

I am not sure what to do now, since I brought the donation receipt back few years ago and it is together with my other thailand tour brochures. Maybe the next time when I am back in bkk, I will make a trip and bring the receipt to the poh teck tung foundation and burn it there.

This place is located inside a temple near chinatown and you can donate either coffin (650B) or packet of rice to the poor (70B for small packet and 1500B for big packet).

I just walk in, donate and walk out, didnt pray. Counter staff didnt tell me to pray or to burn the receipt and not to bring back.

that's a different foundation. but anyway, it's the act that counts, not the ritual. as what arsira said above - tham dee dai dee.

Just take MRT to Hua lamphong station and you can find the temple easily... Go to the counter and tell the person in charge, how much you want to donate.

The actual reason of coffin donation, there are ppl who dies but no family or friend, cannot contact family or friend, or from very poor family, these coffins are used. At least the decease has a last proper funeral in a coffin rather than just wraps around a piece of cloth.

In religious, Thais believe in helping the decease in order to gain merit.

Dun worry too much about this. I have a lot of these.

 

[kdrama]

Thanks to all for all your assurances but I have decided if I go back to Bkk again, I will bring the receipts back and burn it there after another donation.

I prefer going to Poh Teck Tung foundation coz I am not comfortable to stick the receipt onto the "coffin" in the other foundation.

The coffins are empty and there is nothing eerie about this actually. The thai people will read out some description and knock on the empty coffin after that.
