JP5594880B2 - A rosary hanging on the cremation Buddha - Google Patents

Description

  The present invention relates to a rosary that can be put on a hand held in a casket when a dead person is cremated.

  When a person dies, it is cremated, but in this case, the body is cleansed and placed in a bag for containment. At this time, Buddha is dressed in Buddha, a triangular hood is wound around the head, and a rosary is hung on the hand of the palm. There are various kinds of rosary depending on the region and sect, but a pearl and a plurality of pearls are passed through a string and connected, and a bunch is suspended from the pearl through a bush. It is.

  A rosary is also called a rosary, and its name is given because it is counted when chanting the buddha. The number of rosary beads varies from sect to sect, but it is used as a method of purifying the nuisances of each person by turning the pearls one by one to purify the annoyance of people. Although there are various materials, the Bodhi tree is said to be the best because the Buddha was enlightened under the tree.

  Other common materials are crystal, lotus fruit and fragrant wood. Crystals have their own vibrations, and when worn they have the effect of inviting sleep, so a crystal rosary may be suitable for wishing the Buddha traveling to heaven to sleep forever. In addition, the lotus fruit has Buddhist meaning, and the incense tree represents the scent of Jodo. However, there is a feeling that it is too expensive to attach a rosary made of these materials to the cremation of Buddha. It also goes against environmental conservation and resource saving.

  Therefore, a rosary made by connecting plastic pearls is the cheapest and most convenient, so a plastic rosary is generally hung on the hand held by the Buddha. However, the plastic rosary generates harmful gases when it burns, and on the other hand, it seems to be contrary to Buddhist thought as the last rosary when sending people who died to heaven.

The “rosa” according to Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2001-37510 is easy to be held in the hands of the dead, and is designed so that no waste remains after incineration. The pearls are connected through a string, and 13 pearls and 14 transparent pearls are alternately arranged, and the wooden pearls are engraved with different Buddha statues and Buddha statue names for recreation. Yes.
“Cross beads” according to Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2001-37510

  As described above, the rosary worn on the body of a Buddha who is passed away and stored in a bag has problems as described above. The problems to be solved by the present invention are these problems, which are low in cost, do not violate environmental conservation and resource saving, and do not violate Buddhist thought even if worn on Buddha sent to heaven. Provide rosary.

  The rosary of the present invention does not violate environmental conservation and resource saving, on the other hand, considering that it does not violate Buddhist thought even if it is put on the hand of the Buddha sent to heaven, A rosary is formed through a string. And in the center, it has a parent pearl whose outer diameter is one size larger, a name plate is suspended from this parent pearl, and a tuft is connected below the name plate. Here, the name plate is made of the same clay, but the name plate may not be used in some cases.

  By the way, the surface of a spherical pearl may be polished to give a gloss, or a clay or paint or pigment may be mixed to provide a predetermined color. Alternatively, instead of mixing paint or pigment with clay, it is also possible to apply paint or pigment to the surface of the finished pearl, or to apply color paper to cover it. In this case, Japanese paper is generally used as the paper to be coated, and purple Japanese paper is suitable. When the Buddha is a man, the color is relatively dark purple, and when the Buddha is a woman, the color is relatively light purple. This purple color was born from the fusion of eastern blue and west red. It is said.

By the way, the rosary according to the present invention is mainly composed of a material that can be crushed like ash (powder) by cremation of Buddha, that is, talc. Talc is a mineral composed of magnesium hydroxide and silicate, and is a kind of clay mineral with a composition of Mg ₃ Si ₄ O ₁₀ (OH) ₂ . Talc (talc) is the softest mineral on earth, and talc is the lowest "1" in the index indicating the hardness of the mineral called "Mohs hardness". The rosary of the present invention is formed into a round pearl by mixing a paste with clay containing talc as a main component.

  In this way, the rosary according to the present invention is a form in which a pearl made of talc is used as a main component, and a string is inserted through the pearl. Until it burns out, it hangs on the palm of the hand. Finally, the body burns out and is returned to the soil. The crystal structure of talc is a shape in which brucite (Mg (OH) 2) is sandwiched between silica (SiO2), which is formed in layers, and for that reason, glue mixed by heating Burns and breaks like ash (powder) when touched lightly by hand. This is different from the traditional plastic rosary that burns out first when it is cremated.

  And the talc which becomes the main component is cheap, and it is preferable also from a viewpoint on environmental conservation and resource saving. Furthermore, the rosary of the present invention improves the effect as a rosary of Buddha by connecting the nameplate to its parent pearl, and this nameplate is also made of the same material as the pearl, and after cremation it becomes powder and breaks .

The Example which shows the rosary of Buddha which concerns on this invention. The shape of the paper that covers the beads that make up the rosary. A specific example of a name plate. Another embodiment showing a Buddha rosary according to the present invention.

Therefore, as described above, the specific materials of the parent beads 1 and pearls 2 and the name plate 4 constituting the rosary according to the present invention are mixed with a paste containing powder containing talc as a main component, and an appropriate amount for this. It becomes a clay-like material by adding water and kneading.

The following table shows the concrete material components of the clay which becomes the parent pearl 1, the pearl 2, and the name plate 4 constituting the rosary of the present invention.

  By the way, although the powder has talc as a main component, calcium carbonate, amorphous silica, and virgin pulp may be mixed therein if necessary. The weight ratio is talc: calcium carbonate: amorphous silica: virgin pulp = 10: 2: 2: 1. Further, an antiseptic and fungicide may be added as necessary.

  And in order to color the said pearl 1 and the pearl 2, a pigment or a coating material may be mixed, and also Japanese paper which carried out the predetermined color on the surface can be stuck instead of coloring. The color of Japanese paper is generally purple, and if the Buddha is a man, a relatively dark purple is used, and if it is a woman, a light purple Japanese paper is attached to the surface. Here, the shape of the Japanese paper to be attached to the surfaces of the parent pearl 1 and the pearls 2, 2...
