On April 4, 2026, Grandmaster JinBodhi, in the livestream “How the Spirit World Shapes the Living,” used multiple real-life cases to guide everyone to understand the significance behind paying respect to ancestors during Qingming Day, as well as the connections between ancestors, dreams, and yin-yang energy.
From taboos of tomb-sweeping during Qingming Day, to dream interpretation and various phenomena involving the deceased, this session helps you grasp the deeper meanings behind those “unseen, yet possibly real” messages.
【You will learn】
- The contact between the living and the deceased
- The importance of paying respect to our ancestors
The Contact Between the Living and the Deceased | Why Is Paying Respect to Ancestors Important?
During the Qingming season, the connection between the spirit world and the world of the living becomes more powerful.
This day is not only for tomb-sweeping—it is also a time when the spiritual energy of the living and the deceased connects.
The blessings and legacy of ancestors are like the roots of a great tree, determining the future and prosperity of descendants.
Do “yin-yang eyes” truly exist?
Who can see the realm of the deceased? Are the messages the deceased convey unfinished wishes and attachments—or warnings?
Grandmaster JinBodhi | Grandmaster Tells Your Fortune Series
The “Grandmaster Tells Your Fortune Series” documents Grandmaster JinBodhi’s real-life consultation sessions around the world.
Many people come seeking help with various issues—health problems, career obstacles, parenting issues, poor luck, or even struggles with finding a partner.
Only after meeting Grandmaster JinBodhi are these issues revealed for what they really are, clearly understood, and sometimes even resolved on the spot. When the truth is revealed, you may realize that some problems are not as simple as they appear…
☆Deceased husband frequently appearing in dreams
☆Deep Feeling From Two Worlds Apart
Case 1: Sanmao the Writer and the Prophecy of the “Book of Life and Death”
The well-known writer Sanmao once described seeing the “Book of Life and Death,” where it was clearly recorded:
Widowed at age 36, flourishing at 45, and publishing 23 books in her lifetime.
At the time, she dismissed it with a smile.
Yet years later, these predictions came true one by one. The scariest part—what did that flower with “red petals and a white center” signify? Was it a symbol of love or death?
Case 2: Steamed Buns to Grandmother
She had rarely dreamed of her deceased grandmother.
But one night, she saw her grandmother disheveled, sitting by the roadside like a beggar.
After making a 49-day light-offering for the deceased, her second dream revealed a completely different scene.
Along the path under the bright moon, she personally handed a basket of freshly steamed buns to her grandmother in the spirit world.
What messages were these two contrasting dreams conveying? And what did that path under the bright moon symbolize?
Qingming Day Tomb-Sweeping Taboos | What Should You Pay Attention To?
Grandmaster JinBodhi reminds everyone that when honoring ancestors or visiting special places such as hospitals, one should be mindful in speech and conduct, maintain reverence, and act with respect and courtesy to avoid any offense.
Mind Your Speech in Special Places
At cemeteries, funeral homes, crematoriums, funerals, or when visiting critically ill patients:
- Do not joke
- Do not speak in anger
- Do not make casual comments
What Must Be Done After Tomb-Sweeping (Purification Is Key)
- Use saltwater or incense to purify yourself outside the home.
- Wash the clothes worn that day immediately.
- Purify your vehicle as well to protect your energy. (This also applies after attending high-energy events such as weddings.)
Wear Protective Blessed Items
- Dzi beads, Eight-Treasures Auspicious Beads, Buddha pendants, vajra, or sacred items blessed by a master.

Online Q&A
As Qingming Day approaches, many people encounter questions and unease when paying respect to our ancestors.
Whether it concerns the condition of ancestral graves, implications of dreams, or decisions about burial and memorial tablets, how should one interpret and handle these matters?
Grandmaster JinBodhi provides clear answers to these questions, helping everyone bring safety and stability to themselves and their families while facing Qingming Day with peace of mind.
Questions
1. After returning from tomb-sweeping, why is there bruising around the left eyelid?
2. What should be done if large tree roots cover the grave?
3. After setting up a memorial tablet for the deceased, is it still necessary to keep the ashes?
4. Dream interpretation: Deceased grandfather wearing red clothes and inviting people to a meal
5. What should be done if an ancestral grave is mistakenly excavated by others?
6. If a woman had two husbands, which family should she be buried with after passing?
7. Does clutter piled around a grave affect future generations?
Case 3: The Weight of a Final Wish—What Was the Cost of Saving Money?
A wealthy second-generation individual, in an effort to save time and money, exhumed his deceased parents, cremated them, and relocated their ashes to a cheaper place.
Unexpectedly, this triggered a series of strange events:
The parents’ memorial photos fell from the wall three times without reason;
his wife suddenly died of a heart attack and began appearing in his dreams, choking him and saying she would take him away.
The scariest of all, his actions may have affected not only his own fate but also that of the next generation. The next person to be “taken away” might be him…
Case 4: Mysterious Severe Leg Pain—A Warning From Ancestors?
A couple suffered from severe leg pain for half a year, with doctors unable to find a cure.
It was later discovered that their suffering was related to past disrespect toward their ancestors and the negative feng shui of their ancestral graves.
Even more alarming, this unseen force nearly pushed their son toward death.
