▼ What is an ancestor memorial service?
Ancestor memorial service is a ceremony to express gratitude to ancestors who have been passed down from generation to generation and to pray for souls and souls.
Ancestor memorial service means having a Buddhist chant read at a temple or actually going to a grave and joining hands in front of the grave, but in fact, there are other things as well.
There are various ways to hold a memorial service.
▼ Correct way
If you are going to hold a memorial service for your ancestors, you want to make a memorial service in the right way so that your luck will not decline.
This time, we will introduce three memorial services.
■ Have the sutra chanted at the temple
The method of sutra is different for each sect, but basically it is based on the Buddhist chant.
The sutras chanted by monks on the 49th, the first anniversary, and the third anniversary are different from the sutras chanted at nights and funerals.
The priest will recite the necessary sutras each time the deceased person, so it's a good idea to consult with them when deciding.
■ Put your hands on the Buddhist altar at home
The soul of the deceased is in the altar at home.
Therefore, you can make a memorial service for your ancestors just by offering water every day, giving incense sticks, and holding hands while feeling gratitude.
There is no particular rule about when to do it, so it's a good idea to put your hands on the altar when you think of it.
■ Put your hands on the grave where your ancestors are sleeping
It is said that you will be unhappy if you do not visit the grave, but you may go to the grave when your family is ready, such as Obon and New Year.
It is a memorial service for ancestors just by holding hands firmly in front of the grave and giving thanks and talking.
For those who are far away and cannot easily visit the grave, it is enough to make a small Buddhist altar at home and put their hands on it.
▼ Summary
Some people may think, "I'm angry because I don't give a memorial service to my ancestors" when unhappiness or bad luck continues around me.
The ancestor memorial service should be done to express gratitude when each person can do it so that the ancestors can firmly become Buddhahood.
