Abstract

Does the soul really exist? If there really exists where it is, what it is doing and if the soul does not
exist why is it still present in the daily lives of so many people, so many generations and in Many
places in the world [1]. Why is it so important for so many countries in the world to believe in the
immortality of the soul and death? Faith in the dead and in the next generation depends largely on a
person's religion and culture, on a community of people. For many Vietnamese, this belief goes from
the belief that the soul only reaches its ultimate goal after many reincarnations, to the idea that life will
now determine its final destiny. Consequently, one person can feel confident that he will eventually
merge with the ultimate reality after death, others will surely reach Nirvana, and others will believe that
he will be rewarded in heaven. So what is the truth? Because our beliefs affect our attitude, actions,
and decisions, are we not interested in finding answers to that question? The dead are not finished
but their souls still exist. Depending on the behavior of those who live with those who have died, they
(those who are still alive) may be blessed by the soul or punished by the soul, encountering
unfortunate things in life. This study provides a discussion of whether or not the existence of the
immortal soul and the blessing or harassing of the soul for human life. How can humans limit the
harassing and many blessings from the soul? Why does belief in the blessing and harassing of the
soul become such a popular custom of worship among Vietnamese people?
