How to write the memorial tablet of the deceased?

Question 1: How to write the memorial tablet correctly? (Cheng Jinlin layman) At the end of this Buddhist exchange, I want to talk about a common problem in spiritual practice: the writing of memorial tablets. Memorial tablets, many people can't write now. Because modern people have lost the traditional culture of China, many people write memorial tablets in an irregular format. Another point is that when writing memorial tablets, many people have no respect and scribble casually. First of all, write the requirements of the memorial tablet. You know, writing a memorial tablet is to set a place for these ghosts and gods. If we don't write memorial tablets for ghosts and gods, they can't enter the Dojo. Buddhist temples, monasteries and protectors are not allowed to come in casually. For example, we teach Dharma here, we play the Seven Buddhas here, we convert to the underworld here, there are guardians at the door, and ghosts and gods are turning outside, so we can't get in. There are also dharma protectors at the scene, including our reading AIDS, and ghosts and gods can't get in. How can they get in? Write them a memorial tablet. The memorial tablet is their passport, not their position. I have talked about this problem many times in my report on my experience in helping students read. For example, there is an example: a vagrant saw our help because the protector was very strict and could not get in. Just like on earth, the protector sneaked in without seeing it. After he sneaked in, if the protected person saw him, he would be driven out. The protector was strict, so the lonely ghost hid. Later, when he was hiding in the kitchen, he happened to meet our layman to go in and wash his hands. He asked: "I am a lonely soul, a wild ghost." When I saw this, I wanted to come in and follow the Buddha, but there was no place for me. Please help me. " Our laity said, "OK. But it's too late to write you a memorial tablet now. We have the tablets of all beings in the dharma world. Please stand there. " As soon as the layman says hello, the protector knows that it is his position, so the protector is not in a hurry. The patron saint protects our laws, just like we have a meeting here, and there are security guards outside the door. Those who enter the meeting place must have tickets and passes. If our relatives and friends come and have no passes, we will say hello to the security guard at the door. "This is my friend and this is my relative. Let him in. " The security guard came in. People won't let you in if you don't say hello. It's all the same, so it's important to write a memorial tablet This is the first point. Second, when writing a memorial tablet, be respectful. We should respect ghosts and gods. When writing a memorial tablet, you should not write homophones or variant characters. Every word of the name should be written accurately and cannot be replaced by other words. It's wrong, and ghosts and gods can't get in. So when we write a memorial tablet for someone, we must ask the correct name. Chinese characters are very complicated, and there are many homophones, so be careful. When family members provide names, they don't understand or pay attention, but we should pay attention. Be sure to ask word by word, word by word. Secondly, writing should be neat. Some people write cursive characters and write the memorial tablets in a mess, which is not acceptable. What should I do? Writing in print, one stroke at a time, this is one. The other one cannot be changed. In the process of writing, if I make a mistake, I have seen many memorial tablets. When I make a mistake, I will smear it with a pen and then write again. This is not allowed, not allowed, and not allowed. What if I did something wrong? Fold it respectfully and rewrite it with another one. This must be known. We must not be disrespectful to ghosts and gods. They cannot benefit. If you scribble, the protector can't see clearly. No As we know, the memorial tablet is a passport for ghosts and gods. Besides writing the name of the deceased, we should also write Yang Shang, who is the owner of our Yang Shang. When writing a master, the title must correspond to the relationship between the dead and the dead. For example, if the deceased is a mother and her name is Yang Shuxue, then the deceased should be a son or a daughter. If you don't write Yang, it will be very troublesome to write only one. In Ghost Road, the ghost king mentioned Yang Shufang, and a large group of Yang's study came again. Which one should I mention? Because there are too many people with the same name and surname, it is very troublesome not to write Yang. Writing "Master Yang" is different. But there's another problem. For example, Yang Shufang's son is called Li Jie. 100 In Yang's study, there may be five Yang Shufang's sons named Li Jie, and their sons have the same names, which is quite troublesome. What about this? Therefore, two lines should be written behind the memorial tablet: which year, which month, which day and when; On the other line, you should write "died of", that is, when, when and when you died. After writing this way, when I get to the ghost king, I won't mention the wrong person. China is an ancient civilization, and China's ancient culture is very particular about writing, but now people are gone. I have seen many people's tablets, and I know that these people don't understand. For example, a son writes a memorial tablet for his mother and directly writes Yang Shufang and Li Su ... >>

Question 2: What is the age of writing memorial tablets for people who have just died? The memorial tablet, also called "Death Memorial Tablet", is placed on the memorial table after the death of a loved one. In the middle of the memorial tablet is the name of the deceased, and both sides can write elegiac couplets or not.

If an elder dies, according to ancient rituals, his father's funeral is called Kao, and his mother's funeral is called Cong, which is written as: "Therefore, a certain (surname) is afraid of a certain (name)" or "Therefore, a certain (surname) is the son's spiritual position, which is obvious".

If you are a colleague, it is written as "the spirit of the dead wife (surname)", which is generally used by young people with small children.

The memorial tablet at the time of death is generally written as "spiritual position", three years as "theme position" and three years as "divine position", indicating that the deceased has become a god and can be like an ancestral temple. But there are also people who are written as "Lord of God" regardless of time. If you are a parent, you must write elegiac couplets on both sides, and in the middle, you must write: Sacrifice to the spirit (surname) of a (name) house in Chu Shi; Written among women: in memory of Kong Jia (husband's surname) and Jia Jia (female's real surname). If the female deceased was old, she would write "Ruren", and if she was young, she would write "Shu Ren". ......

Question 4: Buddhism (Complete Works of the Dead) 1. The son set up a memorial tablet for his dead father. If a son's mother, parents-in-law, and other peers or grandfathers are still alive, they should be called "the first in the exam" and cannot call their father by his first name. Add a "male" after your last name and a "taboo" before your first name. For example, the late father's name is Zhang San, and the inscription can read as follows: "A preliminary examination of Zhang Gong's taboo about the position of the three governments and the western lotus", in which "Fu Jun" also refers to his father. If there is no one in the father's generation and no one is taller than the father's generation, then the word "first" should be changed to "obvious" to show that the father is the tallest generation in the family. You can write like this: "It shows Zhang Gong's taboo on the positions of the three governments and the Western Lotus." Write it in the middle, a little bigger. It says "Born on a certain day in a certain year" and "Died on a certain day in a certain year". These two lines should be smaller and written on both sides. If you can't write, you can also write on the back. Finally, write "Yang Moumou".

The son set up a memorial tablet for his dead mother. Similarly, if the father, peers and grandparents are still alive, they should be called "Xiancong". For example, the father of the late mother is called Zhang San and the mother is called. The memorial tablet can be written as follows: "Xian Yan Zhang's maiden name is Xiuzhi, and she was born in Xilian", where "Ruren" means a child and refers to the time when her mother is a daughter. If the peers and predecessors of the deceased mother are no longer alive, they should be called "sages". And add the word "Tai" before the word "Ru Ren", which can be written as follows: "Xian Yan Zhang Mu, Tai Ru Ren's maiden name, Xiuzhi gave birth to lotus in the west".

The grandson set a memorial tablet for grandpa. We should change "pre-test" to "ancestor test" and "obvious test" to "ancestor test". A logical analogy. However, Sun Tzu can only set up a memorial tablet for Grandpa's generation when his parents are away, otherwise it will not be his turn to set it up.

The wife gave her husband a medal. Suppose the husband's name is Zhang San and the wife's name is Wang Xiuzhi. If the couple have no children, they can write: "My late husband, Zhang Jun, gave birth to a lotus in the west". If you have children, you can write like this: "My late husband is afraid of the lotus position of the Western Three Kings."

The husband gave his wife a medal. If the couple have no children, they can write: "The Wangs' maiden name is Xiuzhi, and Xilian is born." If you have children, you can write like this: "The first room is Zhang Muwang's maiden name Xiuzhi gave birth to Lianjuxi." Among them, "Zhang Mu" means that his wife gave birth to a child, so Zhang Mu said so.

6. Establish a card position between brothers. The younger brother should be called "elder brother", and the elder brother can write "late elder brother".

7. Parents set up tablets for their children. You can write "My son Zhang Sansheng is born in the west" and "My girl is in the west".

Matters needing attention in writing memorial tablets: First, write respectfully. Second, the font should be block letters, not cursive, but strokes.

Note: "Lotus Born in the West" written on the tablet assumes that the deceased or the tablet holder believes in Buddhism and hopes that the deceased can go to the western paradise. If they don't believe in Buddhism, they can change it to "memorial tablet" or "spiritual tablet".

Moreover, many tombstones, including gravestone carvers, are now seen in the cemetery, and I don't know much about them now. It is wrong to write dead father or father's adult directly on the tombstone. Some people directly write about their dead father, which is also a mistake, at least disrespect for their father.

Question 6: How to write the inscription after father's death: For the convenience of marking the inscription format below, we assume that the parents' names are as follows: father's name: Li Renfa, mother's name: Yang Shuying. First, the children set up a monument to their father: there are people at home who are senior to their father (such as grandpa, grandma, foreigners, including 1), and my father left first. Writing "Xian" and "Kao" in front of the tablet represents the father's tablet format: filial piety, benevolence, forbearance, loyalty. Location: write the daughter's name on the left side of the tablet, and write the mirror master of the deceased's hometown on the right side. The date of birth and date of death (lunar calendar) are written on the back of the tablet, which is convenient for finding the underworld and the ghost king. The format of the tablets listed below is the same. No more comments. The second type: the father has passed away, and no elders are alive after leaving. Plaque format: Gong Li, Yan Ren, Fife, and United. Second, the child set up a monument to his mother. The first type: someone in the family is taller than mom, and mom left first.

Question 7: Should there be more memorial tablets for the deceased? According to the Tibetan scriptures, crossing over for the dead will have a certain effect on the dead, but it will be more beneficial to the living.

Question 8: How to write a memorial tablet when people are cremated after death? Just call him the leader, plus the name of the deceased and the word "position".

Question 9: How do Buddhist temples set up memorial tablets for the dead? First of all, your family has a treasure house of bodhisattvas.

Then you can write a symbol with the name and relationship of the deceased. Just collect cigarettes.
