Translated by Sis
Recently, the series of funeral ceremonies tend to be held by directors completely. Do you know the fact that the gently face of departed is one of the most beautiful? We must hold the ceremony heartily and warmly, realizing the seriousness of life, death, and the roles of the funeral ceremony |
Most people may be dead now in a room at hospitals, which tend to keep a distance each other. And what is worse, the family of the departed cannot touch his body. When someone of your relatives is dead, I hope that you will be able to serve him the last water, and wash his body cleanly before laying him to in a coffin with your relatives, at least. Gazing into the wasted pallid face of your father or mother, when they are dead, you will become aware deeply of your own unfilial behaviors. At the view of life, death, and soul in Japanese national character, the old will reach the death as the terminal of his maturity. At the view of Buddhism, the departed give a new name to be a Buddha, and then, travel to another world. And also, they may start a lot of practices to become respectable ancients for their descendants. Therefore the special term that lasts 49 days has been important for a long time. Similarly, the 49 days is necessary for living people. One who lost his important and only person requires time to accept and realize the reality of death, to reopen his ordinary life, and to heal his mind. For these reasons, we should not shorten this important term. Some people say that constant annual memorial services are seemed to have only perfunctory character. Please realize the point that doing these services heartily and warmly for the departed and ancients let you locate at the starting point of happiness |
When one who faces death of his relative, he will realizes a sense of the vanity of life, and then be able to bring back his kindness by himself. When this time comes, and you also realize the sense, you should thank the departed for letting realizing it. |
