Chapter 237: Cremation Workers (1)

Lu Ziqiang is 38 years old and has been working in this place for more than 20 years. He came from a bad background, he was an orphan, and he knew what he looked like, the type that others would forget when they saw it. He is an introvert and has been single for 38 years......

The place where he works is a funeral home!

Oh, it's not called a funeral home, it's not called a crematorium, it's called: Tubi. Pronunciation: Tupi. It is a transliteration of Sanskrit.

Tuvi is a Buddhist tradition, in the long feudal society, the cremation of the body in the monastery, is a religious custom and ritual that Buddhism has been handed down since it was introduced to China from India, and has a history of more than 2,500 years.

The cremated relics are one of the proofs of the hardships of the practice, and have always been regarded as sacred relics by Buddhist believers.

Buddhism is an inseparable part of Chinese history and has influenced countless generations of Chinese people.

Cremation of Buddhists, lay people or family members in monasteries is a religious act and an important part of the Buddhist faith. Our Constitution stipulates that citizens have freedom of religious belief. Even after liberation, after several transformations, the traditional custom of cremation in monasteries has not been banned and abolished. Therefore, Tubi is recognized by the people's government. The cremation of the bodies of believers is not under the jurisdiction of government departments.

The temple is thriving, the flow of visitors is increasing, and the number of believers is increasing. People are also becoming more and more kind to each other.

Lu Ziqiang is also working hard in such an atmosphere.

He has an old acquaintance who is an undertaker, who usually does plastic surgery and beauty of corpses. This man had told him that on their Christian side, there were a lot of corpses to be burned, and if you were tired of it, you were welcome to change jobs. The salary is of course negotiable.

Lu Ziqiang also secretly thought about it, but he occasionally visited last year and found that the situation there was not the same as he imagined. He heard some gossip that the people who were to be burned were all old people. This is not unusual, after all, old age is the norm. But most of all, most of these people joined Christianity not long before they died!

This is a source of relief.

Later, I inquired and found out that after joining the Christianity over there, there were many discounts for funerals. When believers encounter the death of a loved one, they contact the head of the church or the preacher, and they will take the initiative to go to the bereaved family to help handle the funeral and comfort the bereaved widow, the bereaved family, relatives, etc.

The church will guide and counsel on funeral matters and send obituaries to relatives and friends. Everything will be properly arranged, saving relatives a lot of trouble, and a decent, serious and frugal funeral affair can be done.

Although Buddhism also has practices, it is far from being comparable to Christianity.

Lu Ziqiang said: "No wonder the three major religions, Buddhism is not as good as Christianity. ”

After he visited Christianity, he went to see the funeral process himself, and only then did he know that they also practiced cremation here.

You must know that in various forms of modern media, it is often seen that foreigners are still using coffins, including Xiangjiang in China, which is also shown in this way.

He originally thought that foreigners' teachings were also taught by foreigners, and that attracted a large number of Chinese elderly people to become religious.

After returning here, Lu Ziqiang brushed his teeth and washed his face and ate as usual.

Thinking about it warmly, Lu Ziqiang also hoped that he could ask for a wife and live a normal life from now on. It's a pity that his work makes every woman who comes into contact with him feel afraid, and the women who have come into contact with him in the past have left him without hesitation after hearing about his work.

He didn't know if it was his appearance that hurt others, or his profession. In short, there is a high probability of both.

When his young glass heart had broken countless times, he began to close his heart. He focused on his work and did the simple work meticulously, which was unanimously praised by the entire temple.

A long time ago, his work was very leisurely, and he only had to burn one or two corpses a day. Sometimes the quantity is scarce, and it may not be necessary to open the furnace for a week.

Three years ago, the temple began to expand and began to expand explosively. There are also more and more tourists, and it has even led to the development of the surrounding economy and become a local signboard.

Lu Ziqiang's work gradually began to get busy, and more and more people needed him to send him to Elysium. So the stove was rebuilt, an ash sorting cremator was used, and he was given an assistant, which greatly reduced his work pressure.

On this day, he saw a very ugly-looking man come to the old monk in the temple. The old monk is out, probably to fool some believers again, right? This eloquent old fellow......

It's just that this ugly-looking person only has his eyes swollen like a rotten peach, which is ugly and terrifying, and everything else is normal.

Lu Ziqiang originally did not believe in Buddhism, but it was precisely because he was in the Buddha that he knew how many flowers and intestines the Buddha had in his belly.

But when Lu Ziqiang heard that this person was actually leaned over by the frog demon, and the frog demon wanted to turn this person's eyes into frogs, he was a little shaken. Because this person came to the door by his own pitiful bastard, not forced by others, this reality is greatly improved.

He knew that he couldn't trust these things, and if he did, how could he have the courage to face the dead body?

He shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said in his heart: "Lao Tzu has been doing it for more than 20 years, how can he believe in these things?" The truth was exactly as he thought, he had never encountered anything like a ghost in more than twenty years. Because there is no such thing in this world.

As for what people think of as horrors in funeral homes, such as cremation, human limbs still move! Will even sit up!

He had indeed seen it, and he was relieved to see it more, and he knew that it was really just the effect of the force generated by the rapid combustion of muscle protein at high temperatures. If you put a bamboo in it to burn, the bamboo will automatically curl because of the burning, can you say that the bamboo is not dead?

It's just that because this man with swollen eyes into walnuts appeared, he paid more attention.

This man was very diligent and helped the monastery every day in order to alleviate his sins. - Lu Ziqiang thinks, this guy is terminally ill, you have a sick eye, go to the doctor? Is it useful to pray to God and worship Buddha? If the condition worsens tomorrow, the small hole will not be mended, and the big hole will suffer!

So, Lu Ziqiang, who thought he had seen the truth, never paid attention to this idiot again. Instead, he noticed another woman.

He remembered that this woman had been brought back by the old monk at that time, and it was the day that this man named Mi Sheng arrived.

This woman is bewitching, often tearful, and a poor person.

Lu Ziqiang's heart has revived. He inquired, this woman's name is Zhu Xiaoling, she is very confused about the future, and wants to ask the old monk to help solve her doubts, it is best to help her, and go directly to the other side.

It's a scary thought. ——Lu Ziqiang secretly thought in his heart, when he was confused in life, he would rather seek a psychiatrist than come here to find self-comfort?
