Ancestor liberation ceremony
|
|
The Ancestor liberation ceremony (Haewonshik) of the Unification Church is intended to release the earthbound spirits of dead people from attachments in the physical world. Some of these spirits, according to the church, hang around or cling to the spiritual bodies of living people, causing them difficulties such as poor health or bad luck. After liberation, these spirits are escorted by angels to high realms of the spirit world, where they are invited to seminars on Unification Church teachings. After the seminar, the spirits are assigned to assist people on earth.
