What is an ancestral memorial service?

MK

This is Kawaguchi Hidetoshi. This is a humble answer to the question.

I was really concerned about my wife's religious issues. I think it's better to take time and aim for a solution without being impatient.

Regarding the “ancestral memorial service,” MK probably noticed something, and I think it doesn't matter to some extent.

However, the original “memorial service” in Buddhism is “offering offerings such as incense, flowers, lights, food and drink from the heart to Buddha, Bodhisattva, the heavens, etc.,” and is performed to express devotion to the Buddha, Bosatsu, Myō, and the heavens, who are treated as Buddhism and can save sentient beings in distress due to their precious wisdom and compassion.

Since ancient times, due to indigenous ancestor worship, or the influence of Confucianism and Taoism, etc., it is thought that worship and worship began to be carried out by our ancestors as people who could protect us, giving us a position of rank like the heavens.

Simply put, it can be inferred from the place where ancestors who have passed away are called “hotoke-sama” or “kami-sama.”

From here on, it's my humble opinion, but if your ancestors can immediately become beings called Nyorai, Bosatsu, Myoo, and Shoten in the next life after death... of course, if they have accumulated sufficient wisdom and compassion exercises, are at a point where ignorance, worries, bad work, and even those habits can be eliminated in the next life, and are surely able to move towards the realm of enlightenment and nirvana, then it will eventually become possible... the judgment here will eventually become possible... the judgment here is whether various difficult issues are ahead I know it.

I am also dealing with the idea of “chasing good fortune” in the column below, but I think it is essential to exert our good deeds (chase, conversion) so that those who have passed away can go to enlightenment and nirvana without struggling in the reincarnation world, so that even a small amount of help in Buddhist practice (ignorance, worry, bad work, elimination of those habits) is essential.

I'm worried about my wife's state of mind and whether her mind control is being solved little by little.

Now, my wife says, “My ancestors are asking for help because memorial services for my ancestors haven't been completed. My ancestors had sinful people and they are suffering. Even though the words are the same, the meaning is completely different between the memorial service “The weight is being placed on us...” and the memorial service where we usually call it.
I want you to have a good understanding of this.

In other words, I would like you to understand that the psychic's wife, who is under mind control, is not the result of correct information.

Note, the true meaning of memorial services is as Kawaguchi Hidetoshi said.
Also, regarding the very general concept of a memorial service, I think it's OK to say Mukai Masato.

As for the “ancestral memorial service,” which Mr. MK refers to, I think it's fine for the most part.

Hello MK.
I'm worried about my wife.

Regarding the group called “ancestors”...
Like grandpa's anniversary, we take the form of “doing a memorial service for one's parents and grandparents” as a memorial service for our ancestors.

“Ancestors” are people related to me... If you take a closer look, it's not just parents and grandparents.
Buddhism has the viewpoint of relationships.” I owe who I am now to my ancestors.” The reason I am now is because my parents and grandparents supported my child... and there are many other relationships.
People that parents took care of, people who were indebted to. and... it spreads more and more horizontally and vertically. That is the “ancestor.”
So, even though there are differences such as my own parents or that person from how many generations ago, there are no people that have nothing to do with me. There are no people who aren't my ancestors.
I can't take care of that widely, but since it's within my ability, I will do a memorial service for “ancestors I've seen.”

About “memorial services.”
Buddhism says you don't understand what you don't understand (although there are things that are different).
The fact is that after a long period of time, I am the person whose baton of life is connected.
I can't see the lives or shapes of my ancestors, but their lifeblood is within me.

My ancestors and I are separate beings. The fact that my ancestors had sinful people, and because of that, I was sinful, and the weight of my sins weighed on me... I cannot say that it is impossible... It's just “I don't know.”
They're connected. Maybe, that's probably the case. But I don't understand.

Even if we don't understand, we humans have words, feelings, food, music, etc. we want to deliver.
I live my life while being aware and grateful that my ancestors' “memorial services” are connected to me by the baton of life. It means not to forget the feeling of thanks to your ancestors.
It is also called “reifuku zakuzen supply education.”
Whether they are asked to, whether they are asked to do good or not, they will do good for them (after).

Primitive people of my ancestors wanted to take food, etc., during the Pacific War, etc.
It may be very backwards, but I don't know what you don't understand without exaggerating that much.
If so, I'll try to look at what I know. Buddhism tries to see what everyone understands in common (although it also includes mysteries).

Living with humility and gratitude for the present is an ancestral memorial service in modern Japanese Buddhism.

There are people in my juniors who can see spirits. I always made people say things like “there's a spirit over there,” “your grandmother is on your back,” and “a headless samurai has a black hole in your chest and beckons from there.” It seems that past lives can also be seen.
When there was one of his classmates, when they “chastised” him a little violently about whether that power was real, he confessed that “all of that was a lie,” “he enjoyed making people speak out loud,” and “it's a technology that communicates and guides people.” It seems that such technology has been passed down from generation to generation within families and industries of that kind.
In order to manipulate human psychology, it seems that it is easiest and most effective to deceive and use “things that no one can prove,” such as spirits, previous lives, ancestral spirits, Mizuko's spirits, and samurai spirits.
There are similar tricks in the world of magic and dealers.

First, in order for MK to feel at ease, please think about it this way first.
“There are kinds of people in the world who can only make a living by using such techniques and tricks. There are also people who are saved by people who are not unscrupulous like Itako, so it is better to keep it quiet for the livelihood of such people,” it is good if you know from an adult perspective. Up to this point, this is the first step.

However, it seems that “unscrupulous” types, such as those whose wives are euphoric, always have targets.
I think money will eventually be generated.

To be sure, it's a “business” where fortune tellers and psychics in the world use specialized techniques to drive people to hell once and then get money in the form of being appreciated by clients by scooping them up from there. Even in the world of yakuza, they make money at the beginning and then distribute everything at the end.
Please keep in mind that not taking money at first is a way to make people trust you.
Anyway, I think it's better to keep only the wallet string securely, including the wife's.
The purpose is not to get money; there may also be a purpose of simply creating believers to increase the number of people who will be caught in the future.

If you are deceiving Shinto, wouldn't it be a good idea to take them to the chief priest once? However, people like that speak up. You'll be able to easily get away with it.
I pray that the mysterious brainwashing woman's ghost skin will come off, and that your wife's brainwashing will be solved as soon as possible. I'm sorry.

The way of thinking about memorial services for ancestors, the position of a wife or MK's position, is not about which one is correct; I think both are possible.

If there are people who think “I have to make memorial services for my ancestors”
I think there are people who think “I am being nurtured by the foundation my ancestors walked on.”

The ancestral memorial service I heard felt close to MK's position.

However, that is just my subjectivity.
How do you see it from your ancestors' point of view?

I'm so worried about my ancestors' care that I'm worried that I won't be saved unless I search for fault with my children.
Just because I don't have enough power, I feel helpless to protect.

How do you say in God's message what your ancestors want to see the most is whether they are burnt out due to the hard work of the day, or whether they are doing well?

I think “Give up your body and soul for your ancestors” would be tough.

Mitsuo Aida's poems are famous, but if you go back to your 20s, it seems that your ancestors are over 1 million.
This temple seems to have been built in the Nara period, and there are over 1 million of my ancestors, who are scheduled to take over 23 generations.

Ancestors and Buddhism. As Shinshu, there are some sensitive doctrinal interpretations, but I don't think all of the ancestors of at least 1 million people spoke ill of children's souls.

I hope you take care of your preciousness for children.
