Hello Azu-san.

The feeling of returning the favor to my grandfather is wonderful.

Each family temple has different criteria for awarding a hospital title, so if you have a family temple, please consult with the chief priest of the family temple. However, I don't think it would suit your grandfather's heart to give you a college name until you cut your tuition fees. Please talk to your parents.

If you don't have a family temple and you don't care about the temple, denomination, or distance, it doesn't matter if I give you the name of the hospital. Hyogo also accepts on-site funerals. Please contact us at that time. As a realistic response to offerings, I think the in-name of my temple is probably much cheaper.

I pray for a peaceful end for your grandfather. And my grandfather's true return is for you to pay your studies at school and become a great member of society. Gassho

I support my grandfather in his long battle with illness, and I understand that he is tired both mentally and physically.

If that time comes for Grandpa, will Azu-sama be the mourner? Aren't your grandmother or Azu-sama's parents doing the job? There may be circumstances, so you don't need to reply, but don't make dogmatic decisions about such matters without consulting with your family. Please consult carefully before making a decision.

Below, let's say it becomes a story about asking for a hospital name

① Monks also need time to think about what kind of hospital name to use, so please do so before giving them a commandment name. There's no such thing as fast or too fast.

② First of all, the main body of the kaima is not the name, but the main thing is to receive (receive) commandments such as immortality, join the lineage of the master and disciples that continue from the Buddha, and become an official disciple of the Buddha.
“You can name your own 'commandment'” is a fraudulent thread because it is a name that has not received the commandment. Don't be fooled.

Also, the name of the temple is originally an exceptional memorial service sent to special meritorious persons who built a temple. As expected, the hurdles are no longer as high as they were back then, but even now, it is not uncommon for them to be sent free of charge to special meritorious persons such as Chairman Goji. Putting it on your own is a misnomer. It's even more ridiculous than the trend of buying easily with money.

③ If I were a grandfather, I would be very sad to know that my grandson cut tuition fees and gave him a college name. It's not impossible to send the name of the hospital later (whether it's possible or not depending on the temple's policy, so please check beforehand), so why not become independent one day, take a break in raising children, and if you still have enough money at that time, get the consent of your family and consult with the temple.
Note, it's a balance with ①, but the most troublesome thing is to be asked to write a sutsuba or place plate just before the funeral. However, after a few years, there is sometimes talk of “It's a pity that I wasn't able to add just one person to my other ancestors, so please put it on after all.”

④ Costs vary greatly from region to region, so internet information is completely unreliable.

⑤ If there is a temple that has been indebted to you for generations, it will definitely cause trouble if you have a funeral somewhere else. This is because the genealogy of teachers and pupils that occurs due to the observance of the precepts is bifurcated. Please be careful.

Azu-sama

My name is Shakkeishin.

The temple in the name of the hospital indicates a temple.

It is proof of how much effort you have contributed to that temple.
The current situation is that regulations vary depending on the denomination and temple.

From the receiving side, I think it's very difficult to understand.
In that respect, if you think that I would like to receive a hospital name without any prior knowledge,
I'm very uneasy, and who should I talk to at what timing and how...
When I think about that, I feel very sorry.

It is very precious that Azu-sama takes the place of her grandfather, offers to contribute to the temple and has purified goods donated as an offering,

My grandfather was also very pleased that he thought so much, and I think it would also lead to praising my grandfather's virtues, even the last descendants, and grandchildren,

As Kazukami Somekawa also said, I think that cutting Azu-sama's tuition fees and being prepared is both heart-wrenching for her grandfather to be delighted.

I think it's a good idea to be able to decide after consulting with your parents and family, even if it's just once.

In the denomination I belong to, they are called Buddhist names, and I think it would be a good idea to have the commandment also be given to me by the chief priest of the temple I'm related to.
If you don't have a related temple, when requesting a funeral, I would like you to tell the chief priest about the personality and thoughts of the deceased and choose the appropriate characters.

It is also possible in our denomination to use characters of your choice or those on your behalf,
After all, I think that receiving the name chosen by the chief priest also has a sect (purpose) of faith.

Also, if a monk or temple holds a funeral, if there is a family temple or succession temple you are related to, first consult with them,
If you don't have them, consider whether it's a monk or temple you've been in a relationship with at least once, and if you think about a relationship later,
It is also possible to contact the head temple of the relevant denomination and have them introduce you to nearby temples and monks.

I want you to cherish your time with your grandfather.

The family name is given by the family temple as a thank you for making many contributions to the family temple during your lifetime.
When it comes to passing away in the Pure Land of Paradise after death, the presence or absence of a hospital name has absolutely nothing to do with it.
Therefore, I recommend that you do not dwell on the name of the hospital.
Abandoning obsession with hospital names, obsession with style, obsession with pride, family status, etc., is also in Buddhism.
I think your grandfather taught you that.
