Cheondojae (Korean: 천도재) is a Korean umbrella term for Buddhist rituals based on reincarnation.[1] Cheondojae is also known as after-death ceremonies or Buddhist funeral rites.[2] Buddhists believe when someone dies, their soul is held for 49 days between death and rebirth.[3] Because a soul without a body in a transient state can better accept the law of truth, it can gain enlightenment and move on to the next life. Cheondojae helps the soul reincarnate to a better place.[4]
