My father passed away the other day and I was given a commandment
As for the Rinzai sect, the character “cold” was included in the kaima, but what does this mean?
Does it simply mean it's cold? Please tell me
I offer my condolences.
You've become curious about the characters for the commandment names. Didn't you really like it?
The commandment name is the Buddha's new name as a disciple.
There are cases where seasonal characters are included in the commandment names. If you include a sense of the season, I think it will be an opportunity to remember the deceased when they die, saying “It was cold at that time, wasn't it?”
Also, there was a famous monk called “Cold Mountain” in China in the old days, so maybe they were given one letter in response to that.
I think it's okay to ask the monk at the temple who received the commandment name.
From now on, the adage name is your father's new name, so let's cherish it and worship it.
Maybe it makes sense as a set with the kanji before and after, like a compound word.
I don't understand the entire kakana, so knowing the meaning with that one character
It's difficult, though. I think it's best to ask the chief priest who was named.
As a general theory, I'll talk about [cold], which is used in the commandment name.
Kanzan Kareki (Kanzankoboku) is an example of a worldly transcendent state of enlightenment.
From the meaning of a dead tree and a cold rock, compare it to the realm of enlightenment where passion has been destroyed,
There are times when it simply shows the situation.
Kanzan Senjo (Kansansenjo) has the same meaning.
Since the color of pine leaves does not change even in cold weather, it is a word that compares it to a figure that persists in righteousness without bending its original intentions.
It shows a resolute figure that is unfazed by anything.
Shisan's pine cypress (saikan shouhaku) is a word in the Analects of Confucianism.
From the fact that pine and cypress keep their leaves green even in severe cold, it shows that they will not give in even in the face of difficulties. I don't think it's a bad expression commonly used as a word to express how determined and unwavering is.
If you are foolish, you may use it if you are resolute and straightforward,
I think it is essential that the meaning is sufficient for the people in the funeral home.
I'm sorry.
