Who are the sutras for the farewell ceremony?

All the enlightened people left their suffering by realizing that they had no such thing.

How do I lose myself? First, let's throw our heart into the deceased by wholeheartedly remembering our gratitude and respect for the deceased. Then let me realize that I am who I am who I am, my big self without barriers.

Not being yourself means not living or dying.
Therefore, it is neither for the deceased, nor for the bereaved families or mourners.
Without myself, I wouldn't be able to suffer from my birth, old age, illness, or death.

So really speaking, there's no point in a funeral. There is no effect on chanting sutras.
Don't ask for anything in return for funerals or sutras. You can only be saved if you do that kind of thing through funerals and sutras recitation.

Is the funeral for the deceased or for yourself? The more you ask such questions, the higher the barriers between yourself and others. The equations of logic are products of the mind. The product of the head is just a story in the head, not a current fact. If you stop the story production line in your head, your mind will be free.
It doesn't mean that you don't think about anything; it is only when you keep your mind and don't chase unnecessary products that you can return to your big self, where you were originally saved. All the Buddhas in the past, present, and future are also based on their big self.

Therefore, let's learn this way.
Let's honestly recite and put into words the feeling of mourning for the deceased that naturally springs up at the time we send out our loved ones. If you do that, you can remove the barriers between you and the deceased. Once the barriers between you and the deceased disappear, you and the deceased are one big self.
The monks and mourners all have one big self if they send out the deceased with all their heart.
If you send out your deceased into the mountains, rivers, heaven and earth that spread out in front of you, nature, and activities inherited by people, and you find yourself being kept alive by them, this world is one big self.
That is my true self that has not been overshadowed by delusion.

Funerals are for the whole world.
Hopefully, with this merit, it will do everything in general
We and sentient beings all agree to establish Buddhism

Funerals also have the meaning of giving guidance, or teaching, to those who have died.
In the case of Japan, there is also a way of thinking that people stay in this world in the form of tiny, invisible children until the 49th.
In other words, there is a possibility that the person who died appeared to be in the middle and was listening to sutras nearby.

Also, there is a way of thinking that we (monks, bereaved families, and acquaintances) praying turn the merit of nembutsu and sutras = bad (effect of good deeds) to those who have died (conversion = eko).
When we do something good, when the person who died watched it and was delighted, saying, “That's great, you should learn from it,” the good heart of the person who died also grows.
If you do good things, you will have good habits, and even if you think about good things, you will develop good habits.
When we do good deeds, show them to others, and others who see them think good things, good habits (merits) accumulate in the hearts of others.

Also, funerals are an opportunity to preach lessons to living people.

Note, in the Heart Sutra, after the color is the sky, the sky is the color, it says “the act of receiving thoughts is also like drawing.”
First, it is explained on behalf of color, but it is explained that ◯ is empty, that is, the sky, that is, in all of the five colors = goh.
Of the five elements, color is matter, and the remaining four (perception) are mental phenomena.
Let's summarize the ideals and say name = myo.
Mind and matter (in other words, five senses) are also called famous colors = myoshiki.

A Dosa-sama

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

In addition to the sutras at the farewell ceremony, when chanting sutras, you will always work as a set with the sutras along with the sutras. If you look at that direction, it can be said that you can also understand who the sutras are for. After all, conversion in the case of a farewell ceremony targets the deceased, and it can be said that it is read to the deceased in order to give merit by chanting sutras.

Nonetheless, Buddhism is a teaching that targets all sentient beings for salvation, so we always strive for the merits of reciting Buddhist scriptures with a feeling of turning (normal conversion) towards all sentient beings.

Normal reversion
“Hopefully, with this virtue, we and sentient beings will all practice Buddhism.”

“Color is the sky is the color, the sky is the color,” of course, not only color, but also the way people think and act, of course, are included as such.

6. About “color is the sky is the color”...

Speaking of the “Heart Sutra,” the most famous phrase is “color is the sky is the color, the sky is the color,” and “color” in this case is “a material phenomenon,” and “the essence of a material phenomenon is empty, and since it is an empty essence, material phenomena appear as something auspicious,” in other words, “material phenomena are not formed as entities, independent existence, but they are formed by emptying luck.” Furthermore, it continues to be such an effect of “acceptance, thought, action, and consciousness” other than our color (substance), as “something that can be said to be an empty essence because it is an auspicious thing.”
In any case, everything in this world is always made up of being dependent on others, and there is no such thing as being made up without being dependent on others, and therefore, all things and things that can be “lucky” have no substance and can be said to be “empty.”

Kawaguchi Hidetoshi Gassho

The best memorial service for the deceased would be to provide the best.
The last thing people who died at the same time can do is provide the best.
A funeral ceremony is a “memorial service.” The cornerstone of law. It shapes the heart of human selflessness, selflessness, and lack of work.
The sutras are also taught that everyone can be saved if they are properly studied, so we all cultivate that together. That is what a “memorial service” is.
As for the deceased, he said, “I will pass away first. However, we have opened a Buddhist temple here. It is my last duty in this world to have a farewell ceremony in French style today. Please pass through this gate, walk through Buddhism, and wake up to a heart without suffering from life, old age, illness, or death. Please walk in Buddhism and learn the Buddha's teachings. If we do that, everyone will definitely be able to leave suffering and gain enlightenment.”
It's also a facility called.
The Buddha gate is wide open. It's being explained to everyone.
Wouldn't it be lonely if it was just for myself or just for someone else?
Who will ☀ illuminate for?
Who does water exist for?

“Color is empty” “Sky is color”
It explains the “state of being” when something touches the self.
That state of affairs is “sky.”
Being there is none, yet nothing.
The state where there is no leftovers and is always fully automatically purified is called empty.
For example, birds chirp.
P ♪
It touches my body and mind.
P ♪
As soon as I planned it, it disappeared.
It certainly happened to me, but not now. That doesn't mean it wasn't there.
But it's over.
Its occurrence and manifestation are empty, and since it only occurs the moment you touch it, it means that you are always saved.

Also, at any time, for a limited time, the occurrence and appearance of things with no leftovers is the true state of all existence, sensation, and matter in this world.
When something passes through the gate of perception, it passes through without human opinion being accompanied by it.
P ♪
And it ended there.
That kind of sky narusama, what comes from being empty means that everything in this world is the state of everything in this world.
By realizing this, everything becomes “all at once.”
Since there is nothing but that time, place, and matter, this means that the body and mind are always free to do activities.
It's unusually in Nainagara.
