Does making a statue of someone deceased mean they have attained spiritual fruition?

Making a gilded statue of a deceased person and giving a title does not establish spiritual fruition. It may reflect family custom or divine instructions then, but having a statue differs from actually possessing virtue and ability.

I shared a mother’s experience of dreaming of our spiritual center, where her daughter had visited; they compared the surroundings in the dream. Later divination and conversation concerned a female deceased relative who had not entered the ancestral tablet but received offerings through a statue.

My understanding then was that this deceased person wanted to learn and still needed cultivation and merit. Whether deification might be permitted would be discussed when circumstances matured, not completed by one ceremony. This was that family’s process within our faith. It cannot confer divine offices on all ancestors, nor does it deny family remembrance.
