Can you talk about the law during the memorial service
Two years have passed since my husband died.
Until then, I had no connection with the temple, and suddenly I couldn't afford to choose, so I became a parishioner of the temple I was introduced to. I was in a situation where I couldn't refuse because I was required to become a parishioner when I undertook the funeral.
Until now, I have attended the funerals of relatives and acquaintances many times, and they always told me a few words of gratitude after the sutras, such as passers-by, funerals, first seven-day memorial service, first bon, etc., which made my heart feel at ease.
However, from my husband's confession to the 3rd anniversary memorial service, there was never anything that seemed like a puja, and when the sutras were over, I went home quickly. It doesn't matter when I'm alone, but I feel uncomfortable when there are a lot of people attending.
Since he is a chief priest in his 40s, he is not young, and I intend to be a little overbearing on offerings. It's the Rinzai sect, but are there any sects that don't teach the Dharma at all?
Also, on the 3rd anniversary of his death the other day, I noticed that he was reciting sutras without rosaries.
I'm shocked even though it's an important memorial service.
I didn't listen to it, but I'm worried about whether the memorial service was properly held.
There is no admirable image of them serving the Buddha, such as their behavior up until now or impressions from funeral homes, etc., so I don't respect them. I'm sorry for my husband, and I want to quit being a parishioner, but I'm worried because it won't be easy.
