There is no ritual or ceremony for all Buddhists. Funeral traditions vary between schools and countries where the funeral takes place depending on the religious teachings and beliefs. However, the focus on Buddhism is the belief in rebirth - the concept that every life is cyclical and that the dead can be reborn. A funeral is held and viewed as a ritual associated with the body being separated from the mind to allow the deceased to grow and reborn. Although relatives and friends may mourn the death of a loved one, the air must normally be calm, calm and sensitive to the departed and hope for development. The inner spirit helps them achieve in the new body.

Buddhist ritual for the dead

Before death, friends and family gathered around the dead to comfort them. A teacher or nun is often asked to help. These people will lead them to prayer chanting around the death bed, which is very important in Buddhist funeral tradition. Ideally chanting is the last thing a loved one hears before they die.

Buddhist view of organ donation and mummification

Organ donation or donation is accepted. Chalking is also permitted in Buddhism although firefighting is often advised and accepted.

Preparing for the body of the dead following the Buddhist funeral

The deceased will be bathed and dressed after their death. This is traditionally done by family and friends. The deceased's clothing is the normal clothing that he or she usually wears in preparation for their spiritual pilgrimage

Buddhist viewpoint on awakening, observing and visiting

A closed sarcophagus was placed in the house for three days for people to commemorate, condolence and place the traditional funeral wreath.

There is no special instruction about the organization before the anecdote ceremony is held. If there are people to visit, the view is usually simply composed of calm, chanting like the bed of the dead. This can take place in appropriate places where the mourner wants. Monks and nuns are usually nearby.

The body is placed in a simple coffin that is open to all to visit and pay homage. An altar is placed at the top of the casket with images of the dead, saints and reincarnations of the Buddha. In addition, the altar also has candles, incense, flowers and fruit.

After the ritual, the coffin is closed and taken to cremation or funeral.

Methods of handling dead bodies

Buddhism allows cremation and burial, but burial is the method commonly used by Buddhists because the Buddha was cremated, for example, for other Buddhists.

Cremation became popular today for two reasons. At first, cremation was less expensive than a coffin for cremation. Second, less use of natural resources.

"Someday, all the land will be taken for the dead and the living will have no land left to live on. HT K Sri Dhammaanda Maha Thera.

Following the cremation, cremation is placed in the bowl. Some Buddhist cultural traditions buried cremation in the soil along the marked graveyard while some kept at home or at funerary homes.

Clothes for funerals

The mourners are often dressed in white clothes during the funeral because it is a symbol of the funeral and sorrows of Asia. However, the influence of the West makes black acceptable.

Buddhist funeral and form of memorial rites

After Peep's grandmother died on May 10, 2010, she was celebrated in Laos Buddhist funerals. Wreaths are placed around the coffin with the great image of the deceased.

Similar to the awakening, Buddhist funeral services can take many forms in different places. The basic service is usually organized in the typical Buddhist style with modesty, respect and calm.

Does this mean that the ritual lasted about 45 minutes to an hour and could take place at the temple, the deceased's house or the funeral home.

Another form may be accepted with the ashes of the deceased or coffin in front of the room, with the altar next door. In addition, any flowers or gifts are displayed in the front.

When visiting, visitors should arrive at the altar, bow their hands and pray silently or ask the forgiving person before sitting down with everyone before the prayer service begins.

People who pray and donate

Prayers are often performed by monks and nuns. The master recited prayers and instructed everyone to chant. Monks usually wear yellow robes, with senior monks and brown monks for younger monks. The nuns usually wear brown robes. The walking meditation is usually held afterwards.

Rituals can also be guided by others as family members. Occasional chanting tapes are opened to guide the whole group to the chanting.

Praise to family and friends is also accepted.

Buddhist ceremony on worship and burial

This is partly the same as the awakening and funeral services but is simplified. Prayers are read together, chanting and then spilling is permanent.

Prolonged Buddhist memorial and mourning

According to the Mahayana and Tantric traditions, the memorial will commemorate the dead in 49 days because people believe it is the time required for a rebirthed soul.

Rituals are given to family and friends once a week after cremation. If the body is buried, the ritual will be held every three days. The ritual consists of chanting and prayer according to the sutras, as in later funeral rituals. However, these rituals are usually more common and more relaxed.

Food, usually made at home, is always served after the funeral is over. This meal is similar to the after-party banquet in the West.

The original Buddhist tradition often did not have a protracted rite because they believed that the deceased's soul was regenerated shortly after its disappearance.END=NAM MO AMITABHA BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH GIAC TAM.THE MIND OF ENLIGHTENMENT.VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN AMITABHA PURELAND=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.20/4/2017.
