About bone splitting

I'm a monk of the Otani school of Shinshu,
There are no detailed rules about bone division.
In order to fit in Kyoto's Higashi Honganji Temple (Shinshu main mausoleum) and Higashi Otani (Shinshu mausoleum)
I almost always split the throat Buddha.

If other relatives split their bones to make a memorial service,
I think it's better to separate bones other than the Throat Buddha.

Also, it's time to split the bone,
There are no rules about this either, so
So that even grandma's daughter can hold a memorial service,
I think it's okay to split the bone right away.

　I would like to express my deepest condolences for the passing of my grandmother

Now, as for the inquiry, I don't think there are any particular rules about the timing, parts, etc. as the responding monk who wrote earlier said.

If you are your grandmother's daughter and you want to store your broken bones in the graveyard, you will need a certificate of bone division.
Also, even if you want to keep it handy now, there is a possibility that you will have trouble with where to put it in the future and think “in the grave.” You'd better keep it.
Please go to the city hall etc. and complete the prescribed procedures.

I'll add it.
If this question asks the pros and cons of division, I agree with the resident teacher's opinion.
There was a question about hand memorial services before, so I'll paste it in.

If you leave it at home and are worried that your dog will eat it or that it will be thrown away in the future, why not have them slowly reconsider it again? Let's think 20 or 50 years ahead and hold a memorial service.

What is the Hokke Kyoken pagoda item
“There is a Buddha's whole body in the pagoda.”
The name of this Buddha is Taho Nyorai, and it is a Buddha that died a long time ago, and it is a Buddha who made a vow to prove that the Lotus Sutra is correct by appearing where the Lotus Sutra is preached.
The pagoda is a tomb. Since the whole body of the deceased Buddha is in it, it is explained that all the remains should be stored in one tomb.

Please be sure to show the sutras that serve as the basis, and make a habit of listening to the story of the Buddha saying, “Do that because”
Even a boy is the same person. There is always a mistake in thinking that is not based on sutras.
That's why we, the monks, have a responsibility to eliminate all of our own thoughts and only pass on the Buddha's teachings to everyone.

I'm so sorry to have lost a close family member.
After passing through the season from the last farewell to the funeral, the first day of death, and April, I can guess that those left behind are in the process of chewing on the grief of parting ways little by little while being chased by their daily lives.

On the next 49th, when we are once again told that each and every one of us faces “life” due to the death of our grandmother, we will be able to accept that the lives we have passed away are still guiding us and working even now.

Now, let's talk about the “division of bones” you asked.

In the Jodo Shinshu sect, there is basically no division of bones, nor decisions about when to do it.
As shown by Master Wada of Chokakuji Temple, there is also a fact that they recommend dividing the bones into the head temple or mausoleum in Kyoto.

One is a wish for people to encounter Nembutsu and Buddha's teachings through the bones of deceased people.
Also, historically, the remains of Buddha have been scattered all over the world, and there is also the fact that they have been worshipped by Buddhists as Buddha reliefs.
Also, there is no fixed time for bone division. However, I think there is a reasonable reason to split the bone when everyone gets together on the 49th day.
Therefore, please consider that there is no problem with the teachings of the Jodo Shinshu sect.

By the way, the problem of “boredom” is often heard when splitting bones.
Try searching the internet for “nobotoke.”

What is explained during bone collection is actually the second cervical bone (bone at the back of the neck), and since the drop that usually moves when you inhale saliva is cartilage, it becomes ash and leaves no shape.
Since that shape looks like a Buddha meditating, it is sometimes treated as special, but in the Jodo Shinshu sect, every bone is an remains as a “link” to accept that a precious person has passed away, so there is no superiority or inferiority to bones.

If you want this degree of boning, your relatives would also like to think positively about the preciousness of saying nembutsu in connection with bones.

Yume Yume, go around your grandmother's bones and don't fight each other or cause trouble.
If you can't come to a conclusion right away, consulting with the chief priest of the temple is actually the surest path to a solution. The chief priest will also be happy to consult with you.

I'm very happy that you asked the question at hasunoha, but after all, I want all the monks to rely on the monk and chief priest closest to you.
