Do you have ancestors in graves?

For example, since there are as many Dōgen Zenji temples as there are Soto Buddhist temples, there are probably at least 10,000 or more.
The Buddha's Buddha's stupa is also divided into many places.
In Japan, it seems that there are many people who have an image of a deceased person floating somewhere 👻, but spirits, souls, and mitama are imaginary effects in the person's mind on the person who died.
Also, top signs, hanging scrolls, tombstones, etc. where examples can be found are things that “honor” and “honor” the deceased. Therefore, it can be said that people who have many statues and ranks are more great people.
Recently, when I was looking at photos of my ancestors, I thought they were somewhat similar. The statue of our ancestors is between the Buddhist altars at my parents' house, but it was during the Higan memorial service two days ago that I remembered my ancestors. My ancestors are not in front of me, but their portrait is between the Buddhist altars, their bones are in the tomb, and there is a plaque in the main hall. It's an ancestor I've never met, but that picture was engraved in my mind.
It is something that appears as an imaginary effect anytime, anywhere.
That doesn't mean that you don't need a grave or anything, and by respecting that person and having a “place” indoors and outdoors where you can remember someone who has made you exist today in this world with the same life, you can get involved at home, and you can also have an official relationship. On the other hand, if you privately throw your bones in the ocean or make goods that you have a personal fondness for with their remains, you won't be able to do a memorial service even if you want to respect that person.
Spirits are an imaginary effect within each person, but it is the religious nature of Japanese people to create statues, portraits, placards, and graveyards to show respect and love for that person.

It's probably different depending on the denomination and also depending on the monk.
As a member of the Jodo sect, I think my ancestors usually live in the Pure Land of Paradise.
The Pure Land of Paradise is a place to practice ascetic practices to become a Buddha.
In the process of this ascetic practice, you can gain the power of being a god foot connoisseur. This power is a power that can go anywhere in an instant.
Also, in the same way, you can gain the power of celestial ear communication. This power is the ability to hear voices from any distance.
Therefore, when you put your hands together in front of a grave, your ancestors listen to your voice and instantly live in the tomb using the grave as a base.
Also, the same goes for Buddhist altars. They use their place of residence as a base.
Also, don't worry if you don't have anything. They really listen to your voice.
So feel free to talk to me anytime, anywhere.

I will quote an excellent tweet.

> Did you say hello to Grandpa at the Buddhist altar? I was told by Mom before it came out, and if I said should I say hello to the Buddhist altar or the tomb...
“Buddhist altars are stored on tablets, graves are stored on desktops, and grandpa is stored in the cloud. I was somewhat convinced when I was told, “I'm going to update my desktop now.”

Now, I will explain, “If I die, I will return to this present world.” It's what is commonly called “returning to the soil.” Click here for details ↓

Simply put, in contrast to the cloud called this world, what hits a terminal is a tomb or place plate. This is a really excellent tweet.
People in the olden days thought about dividing land into three parts. These are Noyama (Noyama), Mura (village), and Sato (village). Noyayama is a natural area, unevenness is a human domain, and Sato is a gray zone, or buffer zone in between. Among these, the tomb was built by Sato.

And after visiting graves, they'll make offerings, right? Cemeteries in the city these days are in the form of “Please take your offerings home,” but you can't take them back to traditional graves in the countryside. This is because it is said that “birds and ants will deliver it to our ancestors behind the leaves of grass.”
In other words, offerings are a system for returning nutrients from human society to the natural world. Since it is returned to the natural world, it becomes a memorial service for ancestors who have returned directly to the natural world. Therefore, graves are gates to the natural world, desktops, and place cards are hand memorial services for taking care of them on a more daily basis, in other words, tablets.

Incidentally, there is an old tradition of applying a few grains of rice from the garden to the natural world from the rice offered to the Buddhist altar. In Zen dojos, it is determined that rice is 7 grains or less, and noodles are less than the length of the radius of money. This is probably what happened when the balance between valuing nature and the adverse effects of feeding was achieved.

Well, the world when it clears up, the world when it rains, the world where it rains, the mountains, rivers, and plants are now all grandpa's grandmother's house. But if the whole world, the entire universe were a house, it would be vague, and there would be no way to catch it. So make effective use of your desktop or tablet to seamlessly connect with your grandfather and grandmother.

Thanks Buddha

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

Whether you can't see or hear, if you think about your ancestors and are sincerely directed at them, please think that your ancestors are there with that sincerity.

Thanks to our ancestors. Thank you very much.
