Rest In Peace Ritual (亡者安息法)

好多年前在一个偶然机会里我认识了六婶。那天下着大雨,我在太平医院里探望友人将要离开时一位老妇人问我可不可以载她到杜拜街去。我答应了。

后来我才知道六神是当地有名的拜神婆。后来六婶教会我不少她的看家本领。可惜我未能传承她的衣钵。现在她已经仙游了,只好对她鞠躬抱歉。

有一天,六婶又要我载她到一位自杀身亡的女士家里去。原因是据说死者死不瞑目。

到达丧家时,亡者还没放入棺木而遗体还躺在床上。

由于死者是服除草剂而亡的,死相相当恐怖,双目睁大,面貌狰狞。虽然遗体已经被梳洗了一番,那恐怖的死相自今难忘。

据说女士生前是位教师,因为丈夫有了外遇和丈夫大吵大闹后就一时看不开服了剧毒的除草剂。死者家人还位她换上红衣,红鞋和红裤;并且手上还持有一把剪刀。。。

听家人说死者是在大喊要报仇一声后断气的。

拜神婆说虽然老公不对,也不能让往生者在这种情况下上路吧。因为怨气太深是会变厉鬼的,仇是报了还是不能入好的轮回阿。

她说着就走到遗体并且将那双红鞋脱了并且抛向门外,同时念:“恩怨未了终须了,早日息心归佛道,回头莫再念色空。走,走,走!”

六婶要我将鞋子拾起再替亡者穿上。吸怪的是当鞋被穿上后,死者的双眼就合上了。大概亡者也希望安息吧!

根据六婶说并不是每位死者都愿意穿上鞋子的,不愿穿鞋的鞋子怎怎么也穿不上的。如果亡者不愿,她也不敢当和事佬。毕竟厉鬼是很难缠的。

I got to know 6th Aunt many years ago when I visited my friend in Taiping Hospital. It was raining very heavily then and an old lady asked me for a free ride to her house in Tupai Road. I obliged.

Later I learnt that 6th Aunt was a very famous spirit medium in that area; and she did taught me many of her well guarded rituals. Regrettably I didn't take over her job and that now she has gone over the other side; hence I can only take an deep bow and say sorry to her.

One day, 6th Aunt asked me to fetch her to a household where a lady has committed suicide. It was said that the deceased has not died in peace.

When we arrived at the destination, the deceased was still lying in her bed.

Due to the fact that the deceased has consumed a large quantity of herbicide, her death face was extremely horrific. Even after the body was cleaned, the ferocious death face was still unforgettable until today.

We were told that the deceased was a teacher whose husband was having an affair. In a gist of fury, the lady swallowed a large bottle of herbicide and in extreme pain she shouted revenge before giving out last puff of air. The deceased family let the deceased wear red clothing and tug a pair of scissors in her right hand in the hope that her soul will transform into a powerful vengeful ghost. This is the only means that the deceased can see justice done on the culprit.

6th Aunt said that even though the husband has wronged, it was not right to disturb the deceased's rest in peace. For if the deceased has turned into a vengeful ghost, then it can never rest in peace and be reincarnated into good home.

After that, 6th Aunt approached the deceased and took off her red shoes. Then she threw the shoes out of the front door while saying: "Whatever hatred there maybe, may you rest in peace, when you returned; don't remember this worldly matter. Now, go, go, go!"

Later I was asked to fetch the shoes and put on to the deceased's feet` Very strangely too, once the red shoes were put on; the deceased's eyes closed and her facial expression relaxed. Perhaps it was too tired for the deceased to bring the anger to the other side I thought.

On the way home, 6th Aunt told me that this ritual does not work always as if the deceased is unwilling to settle, then the best thing is to hands off. After all, no one wanted to face a crazy powerful vengeful red shirt ghost. Why bother to take the blame for what we have not done after all?
