PRAYERS AND CHANTS FOR MY LATE MOTHER'S SOUL

During my mum's wake, three Buddhist nuns chanted verses from Buddhist scriptures at night. It is believed that the souls of the dead face many obstacles and even torment and torture for the sins they have committed in life before they enter the afterlife: Prayers, chanting and rituals offered by the nuns would help ease the passage of  my mum's soul into heaven. These prayers were accompanied by music played on the traditional musical instruments by the nuns.
