Solemn and solemn hair shrine and Tubi ceremony - the monk of the present Ming Dynasty passed away puja, and the hair shrine tea was born (15)
After dispersing the flames, a solemn ceremony of dedication to the soul was immediately held in the Western Courtyard. After the 108 yellow-robed monks chanted the mantra and turned the mantra, the sky has been bright, the inside and outside of Guangji Temple have been crowded, people from all walks of life and Buddhism who came to wait for the "hair shrine" gathered more and more, it can be said that it is grand.
On that day, the weather was fine, the sun was shining, and the wind was resting, so that more than 5,000 people mourned and sent them away from the abuse of the cold. At the time, it was said that the old monk of the Ming Dynasty had both popularity and heavenly fate, which was really "human and natural induction".
According to the arrangement of the Judicial Affairs Committee, the shrine will be opened from 9 a.m. First of all, 16 barmen wearing green driving clothes, wearing green lotus leaf hats, and inserting cupola cone-shaped red feathers went to the mourning hall to circle the "living rope", and followed the disciples of the Dharma disciple Xianzong, the disciples of the Dharma scroll, and Tianwen knelt at the front of the shrine, and the disciples of Xianming before his death, as well as the male and female laymen who took refuge in him to study Buddhism at home, and the donors of Tanyue. 13 The drums and trumpets sounded in unison after three large gongs. Then send the shrine to the Sutra Ban Sanskrit music. At this time, the old master of Qingdao Zhanshan Temple, who was invited by Xianzong and Fanyue in advance, stood in the middle with a Zen staff in his hand, and erected a shrine for the elders of Xianming. At the end of the music, he first shook the cane and recited the song aloud:
"Show the 'present' bhikshu body, and Chang 'Ming' the bodhisattva path. The wisdom of "light" shines on the great thousand, and the blessing of "virtue" is an omen. This is a poem to the master of the death of the "Xianming" (number), "Zhengde" (name) inlaid into the praise, is the fusion of Buddhism, literature as one of the masterpieces. Next, he stood on tiptoe with a tin staff in his hand, and read out the "French" that he had written beforehand:
"Compliments to Guangjitang on Baohua Authentic Circle Passed Away, the 17th generation of the Dharma Shamen, now the old monk of Mingguangde, Jue Ling is dead, and the four are empty. Live in the world, live with fate. Zhongxing Guangji, rebuilding Daxiong. Great cause, let the present public alone. Pick up people and things, and take appropriate measures. The establishment of the monastic school is far-reaching. The view has been exhausted, showing the disease and the west. Pay the order to win people, Shaolong is undoubted. Today's shrine, all the fate has ended. The mission of recovering the Buddha is to be good and good! Two sentences before leaving: What kind of life is the Tao?! ”
At this point in recitation, he lifted the tin staff and kicked it to the ground, and with a stunned sound, the mage said: "Just put down the thousand catties and withdraw your hand to return to the full moon!" At this point, Fu Jiang slammed the tin staff and shouted: "Get up!" The four disciples immediately stood up and chanted together along with the sutra "Nanwu Dengyun Road Bodhisattva Mahasattva." Only then did 16 barmen put the bars on their shoulders and carry the shrine out of the mourning hall. The disciples of the Xi Dharma disciple Xianzong, the disciples of the Dharma scroll, Fanyue, and Tianwen were all dressed in gray filial piety, holding the yellow silk soul banner in their left hand, with tears in their eyes, and chanting loudly: "There is no Amitabha Buddha in the south, and the patriarch of Ming Zhongxing is now returning to the throne in Guangji Hall!" ”

The route of the shrine is decided by the Dharmakaya Committee based on the circumstances of the festival along the route. After the lying niche is raised, go east along the north side of Yangshi Street (at that time the left side is the upward road), go south to the West Fourth Archway, pass through the West Fourth South Street, enter the east exit of Fengsheng Hutong, go out of the West Exit to the North Ditch along the south section (now Taipingqiao Street) to the west, pass through Fuchengmen Street, go out of Fuchengmen to Baiduizi Hongci Guangji Temple Tower Courtyard Chabi (cremation).
On this section of the road from Xisi to Xidan, there are sidewalks on both sides, and tea tables and road sacrifice tables temporarily set up by mayors, municipal organs, and all walks of life are lined up one after another. Many villagers who came from the Lugou Bridge area knelt on the side of the road, howling and crying. Some automatically pulled the gray cloth to wear filial piety for the monk Xianming, thanking him for his life-saving grace in the "77" incident and war. Some also brought grains such as sorghum and millet, and sprinkled them on the road where the bars and covers passed, so that the birds and birds pecked at them, so as to make some merit for the monks to give alms to sentient beings.
The Dharma-Committee originally planned to go to the old Penal Street, so as to pass through the east exit of Wat Pho Street, because there is a Eagle Peak Temple (i.e., Wat Buddha Temple) on Wat Pho Street, which is the lower courtyard of Bixia Yuanjun Temple on Miaofeng Mountain in western Beijing, and is the temple presided over by Monk Zongyue, the first disciple of the monk of the present Ming Dynasty. Therefore, the big bar also enters the east exit of Fengsheng Hutong from Xisi South Street and exits the west exit. Purity rate Eagle Peak Temple all the monks there to dress to welcome the spirit, turn the mantra.
After the shrine is out of Fuchengmen, it is still 8 miles away from the Baiduizi crematorium, and a porridge shed is set up every other mile in the middle, and steamed buns and rice porridge of the highest flour are given to the mourners. It is said that this is all undertaken by the major laymen and the donors of Datanyue.
At half past one o'clock in the afternoon, we arrived at the crematorium of Baiduizi Hongci Guangji Temple. There is a "Pilu Tower" with a stone base brick body about five meters high, the tower has been filled with firewood, and poured with fire oil, and there is a big hole in the firewood, called "incarnation kiln", and there is an iron grate in the kiln. The lying niche of the elder of the present Ming Dynasty was immediately invited into the kiln, and then the door of the tower engraved with the four characters "the five aggregates are empty" was closed.
The ceremony was presided over by the old master of the Buddha. Before raising the fire, the old master first spoke in front of the furnace. Its "French" cloud:
"Compliment the old monk, the spirit is silent, and the circle is full of knowledge. Nirvana passes through the clouds, all actions are impermanent, it is the law of birth and destruction, birth and destruction of oneself, and silence is happiness. If you make a shrine in the law, you will be able to raise the fire, and you will enter the realm of transformation, and you will reach nirvana. Raise fire today, and give birth to the Tao. ”
At this point, the vibrating tin rod sounded. Fu recited aloud:
"The great sex is ruthless and sends all the fate, no one has no self all over the world. The love for governing sentient beings is inexhaustible, and the light and wind and the moon are not lingering! ”
Then, he lit the torch himself, held it high, ran to the hearth, and shouted: "Look at the fire!" Suddenly, the flames were blazing, and the wisps of green smoke rose straight into the sky.
More than 1,000 disciples of the four groups held up the "Xiangzan", "Bodhisattva Tuo" and "Yang Zhi Pure Water", and then recited the "Mida Sutra", "Heart Sutra" and "Mantra of Death", indicating that "all dharmas are empty". Venerable Quan Lang "taught" to tell the life and karma of the current elders and the "warnings" of Buddhism. Finally, sing "Praise of the Spirit" in unison:
"The awakening spirit is extinguished, the four major divisions, the six pure evidence of impermanence, and the single-minded realization of life. Shine back to the light and escape to the West. There is no ascending Buddha realm bodhisattva Mahasattva in the south, and there is no Mahaprajnaparamita in the south. ”
After the completion of the ceremony, the four disciples immediately returned to Guangji Temple and performed the consummation of Buddha in the Daxiong Hall. Subsequently, the successor to the throne of the Emperor Xianming held the tablet of the elder of the present Ming Dynasty to the ancestral hall on the west side of the Tianwang Palace. At this point, the 35-day Elder Present Death Puja was declared to be complete.
