Funeral

Guide to the coffin! Public release for business use!

Example of procedure for narration


・ Shinkyo-Only socks are put on and then hung.
・ Christianity-Because there is no travel preparation, I will wear plain clothes.
・ Buddhism-Simply speaking, there are esoteric Buddhism and immediate adult Buddhism. Esoteric Buddhism is based on the idea that the Buddhahood cannot be made if there is a feeling from life, even after crossing the Sanzu River (this world is this bank, the world of the other world is the equinoctial week, the Sanzu River in between ← the equinoctial week)
Is also attached because it invites the deceased from that world.) I will prepare for the trip so that I can safely cross the various roads of roses. On the other hand, the idea of ​​an instant adult Buddha is that if you die by chanting the sutra, you will immediately become an adult Buddha. For this reason, the Shingon sect, Tendai sect, and Jodo sect, which are generally esoteric Buddhism, require travel preparation.
Basically, it will be as above, but please respect the feelings of your family.

After talking to his family at Soto Sect, Soka Gakkai's friend's funeral, and Christianity, he prepared for a trip with the hope that it would be strange if he had no relatives.
There are many things I have done. On the contrary, there are many cases where the Tendai sect, Shingon sect, and Jodo sect did not do so.
Then, we will follow the procedure in the Buddhist style, which is the most common way to perform a coffin (coffin ← Nikkan). Put it in the casket like a letter

Beginning the ceremony of the coffin.


There are various types of coffins depending on the region and customs. The most important thing is
I think the most important thing is the feeling that everyone wants to be the deceased, regardless of the convention.
We will do so without burdening the deceased.

First of all, the hot water ritual.


I used to wipe the deceased's body by immersing a washcloth in upside-down water.

For hygiene reasons, we now offer decotton moistened with alcohol. The order can be from anyone.
It doesn't matter where your skin is exposed. The deceased is very delicate, so please feel like hitting it rather than wiping it. When you wipe it, if you can convey your thoughts to the deceased in your heart, I think that the deceased will also become a Buddhahood.
・ Distribute alcohol absorbent cotton. When you start wiping


When you're done


・ Collect cotton wool from everyone.


Next, prepare for the trip.


First, here is the socks. One person has a light sneaker and one person can put it on. After that, turn this string back and tie it in front. At this time, please use a knot instead of a bow. It means not to unravel even on a long trip. Also, depending on the area, there is a tradition that it is upside down, upside down, left and right, but it is a superstition, so right is right and left is left.

These beads are white. It means that the deceased will reflect light and illuminate his feet even if it is dark on a long journey. The beads put the fluff on the hand.
・ When you finish hanging beads


Next is the crown (triangular hood).

I used to put it on my forehead, but now I put it on my chest because it retains the remnants of my life. Click here when placing The tip of the crown is a substitute for the antenna when heading to the other world. Point upwards so that the tip is on the centerline of the forehead and chest.
・ After placing the crown


Next is Shroud.

When Shaka-sama was annihilated (died), the haori that had the sutra written on it was the one that had the sutra written on it, but since he was facing west with the north of the haori as his head, he was wearing the haori that had the sutra written on it. This is in your hands.

Then, the ceremony of the coffin is over.


Until the hearse arrives. If you have something you would like to include when you say goodbye. Please refrain from using metals, glass, and carbon products. Also, please refrain from using lighters, batteries, etc. as they may explode, which is dangerous. Then, I have a hearse outside.
