An old mother in Bodhisattva Village died, the poor old man only had one daughter married in another village, and the daughter's family was also an ordinary family, according to the current funeral routine, the daughter couldn't afford to send it away, not to mention how many trivial things to handle a funeral, how could she and her son-in-law be busy, take care of this end and not take care of that, take care of crying and take care of people, and it was not easy to find someone, so the daughter and son-in-law were so worried that they softened on the ground, and simply lay down like this, and died.

After the old man Wang died, Bai Lian and the village chief helped and buried him simply. But the old man Wang has a son who is from his own village, but this daughter married and became from another village, and a few of them were willing to help.

When did the Yuanyuan sect not act at this time? Bai Lian called dozens of people to her house to ask for the opinion of her daughter and son-in-law, whether she was willing to send the old man with the rules of the Yuanyuan Sect, and her daughter asked how to send it.

White Lotus said; "It is forbidden to shout and cry loudly in front of the elderly for seven days. Second, the Yuanyuan Sect chanting group recites scriptures to the elderly to surpass the dead. 3. Do not invite drama troupes, singing classes, and entertainment classes. Fourth, all relatives and friends can support if they can't wait for the courtesy. Fifth, do not engage in any old and bad habits such as wearing linen, wearing filial piety, burning night paper, and inviting people to the master. 6. On the morning of the 8th, the whole village participated, and the village chief presided over a memorial service for the elderly. On the 7th and 9th, the coffin was pulled by an ox cart to the bottom of a hill not far from the village for cremation. 8. After cremation, the ashes and ashes are buried together on the mountain, and a pine is planted in the burial place to set up a wooden plaque to indicate the name of the deceased. Nine, cancel the theory of seven. 10. Cancel the three-year anniversary. In a word, when a person dies, let the undead exalt or rest in peace, filial piety or unfilial piety, look at the pre-life, look at the heart. ”

When the daughter and son-in-law heard this, of course they were willing, but they couldn't ask for it, there was such a simple and secretly popular funeral in the world!

Everything was according to what Bai Lian said, and the funeral was completed. This matter naturally aroused heated discussions among people in the village and outside the village, some people said it was good, some people said it was bad, some people said that it was a move by believers in the Yuanyuan Sect to break the old and establish the new, and outsiders could refer to it or not. Someone saw Bai Lian and asked her, "Bai Lian, after your parents-in-law die, will you send them like that?" Not afraid that people will laugh off their big teeth? Bai Lian said, "I want to be like that when I live, but I don't force anyone to be like that." ”

Bai Lian's parents and parents-in-law were particularly in favor of Bai Lian's approach, and they said that sending the dead like that was the most reasonable way.

Just as in Bodhisattva villages, where midwives are trained, street lamps are installed, drainage canals are built, and streets are hardened, many villages follow the funeral rites of the Yuanyuan religion to send off the recently lost people, and gradually spread to people, and people talk about the many benefits of doing funerals in this way, saying that it is the most suitable method for the families of the common people.

People asked the White Lotus to say what other ways of burial can be done besides cremation? Bai Lian said: "Wood, fire, earth, metal, water, the five elements can all bury the dead. In fact, it can be completely eclectic. For example, a corpse or ashes can be scattered in the sea, which is both cremation and water burial; You can scatter the ashes on the top of the mountain, scatter it in the forest, and scatter it on the vast land, that is, the golden burial, the wooden burial, the earth burial; You can bury the ashes in the soil, mountains, stones, put them in an iron box that will never rot, and then bury them in the soil. One thing to be careful about is that you must not burn down the forest because of a fire caused by cremation at the bottom of the mountain, and then you will be handcuffed. ”

"The national law stipulates that after death, people must be taken to a regular crematorium in the city for cremation, isn't it illegal for us to cremate without permission?" Someone asked White Lotus.

"This is a sign of modern civilization, but it is not completely in line with reality, some places are far away from the city, cremation and cremation fees, even if some places have some units of cremation fees will be subsidized, but that is after cremation, to get a cremation certificate through a number of procedures, the problem is that many people at that time can not pay for cremation! Therefore, the provisions on cremation should be adapted to local conditions and need to be improved according to the actual situation. Bai Lian said.

"Anyway, in fact, everyone can't accept cremation from the bottom of their hearts, you say that a flesh-and-blood relative, just like that, watched it put into the fire, who can bear it? The living are uncomfortable, but the dead are really not uncomfortable? "When someone said this, everyone was silent, because what people said was indeed reasonable, and they all said that in people's hearts, everyone looked at Bailian.

"Indeed, funeral ceremonies can be simple, that is for many families with more difficulties, no matter in terms of manpower, material and financial resources, simple is the best way to handle, but this does not mean that death is a simple matter!" Bai Lian pondered, "Especially in places where there is little land, how much land does the cemetery of every family occupy for generations. Many of us have carried coffins to bury the dead, is it easy to carry coffins? Is it easy to put a coffin? It's really not easy! I've also heard many of you say these things many times, one word, sorrow! Delivery to the city crematorium, even more worried! Who knows where the crematorium is, they don't even know the phone number, they can't even find the car that pulled the dead. ”

"So, in our countryside, most of us are still buried in coffins and buried in ancestral graves. There are still many people who can't accept cremation. Those who have the slightest conditions are unwilling to be cremated, and it is too cruel to turn their relatives into a box of ashes. Therefore, Bai Lian, the funeral method of cremation and cremation of our Yuanyuan Sect, don't look at the fact that many villages are following suit now, I think that each village will have at most one or two families trying, and it will definitely disappear by itself in the future. One said.

"The Yuanyuan cult advocates this, but it doesn't force anyone to do it. Shoes are placed there, and whoever thinks they are suitable will wear them, and whoever thinks they are not suitable will not wear them. This pair of shoes was given to this world by our Yuanyuan Jiaobai, and we don't need to worry about it in the future. Bai Lian smiled.

People's discussions did not drift in Bai Lian's heart, she was seriously thinking about human death alone. People come to this world to suffer and suffer, and after death, they do not seek scenery and glory, but they should also be buried with dignity. It's just a family's rich and poor, and in real life, it's so reachable; It's just that most families in humanity carry heavy crosses; It's just that the dwindling arable land is a reminder of the aftermath of the world's warning.

Bailian believes that with the progress of society, the awakening of human beings, and the acceptance of Buddhist knowledge by the human heart, the era of simple life and death will definitely come, and Yuanyuan religion is a model for a simple society in the future.
