PURPOSE:To worship as a Buddhist mortuary tablet or a grave, by a method wherein a part of a person's ashes is stowed in a ashes-holding case, and a heat-resisting Buddhist image is set in a household Buddhist altar with the ashes-holding case. CONSTITUTION:An altar pedestal 21 for supporting a transparent body 3 with a heat-resisting property is formed on the part of a basic seat 20 in an altar main body 2. A cavity is made in the altar pedestal 21 and, if necessary, in the part of the basic seat 20, and thus an ashes- holding case 22 is formed. A Buddhist image 1 is integrally formed with a pedestal 10 for the Buddhist image, and an engaging part 11 is projected on the pedestal 10. A Buddhist image-supporting part is formed in projecting-form on a conical mounting-part 30 at both sides under the transparent body 3, and the pedestal 10 is supported and stably held in the transparent body 3. The Buddhist image 1 is formed of a heat-resisting metal or a high class of fire-resisting material, and its surface is coated with a heat-resisting material and it is held in the transparent body 3. The transparent body 3 is also made in the state of a vacuum and is sealed, and can be cremated with the remains. That is to say, since the Buddhist image 1 is cremated with the remains, the impression of its protecting the decreased is strongly applied. After the transparent body 3 is broken, the Buddhist image 1 is reset in the altar 2. The important parts of the remains are stowed in the ashes-holding case 22.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] ``Object of the Invention'' The present invention relates to the creation of a funeral method and its tools, which can be preferably used as a nenbutsu, and can be used as a memorial tablet or memorial for a permanent memorial service, or to maintain a long-term connection with the deceased. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a funeral method and tools suitable for maintenance over a period of time.

(Industrial Application Field) A mushi that is suitable for constant worship by placing it in a Buddhist altar or altar or carrying it around, and is also suitable for worshiping and using it for many years as a memorial tablet or grave containing a part of the ashes.

(Conventional technology) In ancient Buddhism, zushi was used to store Buddhist statues worshiped by monks, military commanders, and others, and carried them with them or kept them close to them and enshrined them in Buddhist altars, etc., to pray for peace in this life and the end of life. It has been widely adopted for.

When the literary era comes to an end, it is common for the body to be cremated, and at that time, a memorial tablet is made and placed on a Buddhist altar to pray for the soul of the deceased and leave it behind. Memorial services are held by family members and others.

Furthermore, graves serve as our final places of memorial service, and are at least an essential facility for every family, meaning that ashes are buried and people visit them at any time of the year.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) Zushi, which houses a Buddhist statue and always carries it with you or keeps it close to you and puts your palms together, can be said to be a desirable ritual tool as it arouses our religious spirit and gives us peace, but it is limited to each person's generation. It often happens.

Memorial tablets are created to be worshiped in place of the deceased, but after being interred or used for a suitable period of time, they are usually burned at a temple, etc., and are created separately from the deceased. It is something.

Graves that store the remains of the deceased are different from those mentioned above, and are facilities that store the remains that formed the core of the deceased's remains.
Although it can be said to be directly connected to the deceased, it is quite large as a stone pagoda, etc. is placed above the columbarium that houses the urn, and naturally requires a considerable amount of cemetery space.

In addition, these cemeteries are usually located in areas that are quite far away from residential areas, and due to the recent rise in land prices in sectional areas, these cemeteries are becoming increasingly remote, and they must be located tens of kilometers or even hundreds of kilometers away. For this reason, visiting graves requires at least half a day, and in some cases even two to three days, which often imposes a significant burden in terms of time and cost. Furthermore, in order to evoke a feeling of reverence, stone Buddha statues and other instruments are required, which is not only disadvantageous in terms of cost, but also valuable land is being lost as graveyards, and as is well known, it has become difficult to secure graveyards. Grassland administration and cemetery administration are being discussed.

"Structure of the Invention" (Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention has been devised after repeated studies in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and it is a method that allows the Nenjibutsu of a living person to be transferred to a memorial tablet or memorial tablet after the cremation of a deceased person. It was designed to function as a tomb, as shown below.

1. A vacuum-sealed heat-resistant Buddha statue is mounted inside the heat-resistant see-through body, and a cremated remains storage chamber is formed in the Zushi pedestal to prepare a nenjibutsu, and the heat-resistant Buddha statue is sealed inside the heat-resistant see-through body. After cremating the remains with the body as it was, a part of the remains is stored in the ashes storage chamber, the heat-resistant Buddhist statue is taken out from the heat-resistant see-through body, and placed in a zushi with an ashes storage chamber, and placed on a memorial tablet or in the grave. A funeral method characterized by ceremonial ceremonies.

2. A Zushi pedestal that supports a heat-resistant see-through body is formed in the base portion of the Zushi main body, and the inside of the Zushi pedestal is made into a cavity to serve as a cremated remains storage chamber, and the heat-resistant see-through device accommodates a Buddha statue made of a heat-resistant material. A conical mounting part is formed at the bottom of the body, an engaging part is provided on the Buddha statue pedestal formed on the Buddha statue, and a lid part body that can be fitted and removed from the engaging part of the Buddha statue pedestal is provided on the Zushi pedestal. Funeral implements characterized by being designed so that they can be put on and taken off.

(Function) A remains storage chamber is formed in the Zushi pedestal, and a part of the remains obtained by cremating a heat-resistant Buddha statue vacuum-sealed in a heat-resistant see-through body along with the corpse is stored in the remains storage chamber, and the heat-resistant Buddha statue is By removing the heat-resistant transparent part from the body and setting it in the Zushi, the Zushi containing the Buddha statue is a living Nenjibutsu, and the remains are stored and set in the Zushi along with the heat-resistant Buddhist statue by cremation of the body after death. To enable consistent funeral rites from before life to after death to be carried out over a long period of time under favorable conditions in combination with Buddhist statues.

With the cover body removed, the heat-resistant see-through body is supported by receiving the conical mounting portion formed at the bottom of the heat-resistant see-through body on the zushi pedestal formed at the base portion of the zushi main body. Further, a Buddha statue housed within the heat-resistant transparent body is supported through the heat-resistant transparent body.

By fitting the lid body to the Zushi pedestal, the hollow part in the Zushi pedestal becomes a remains storage chamber, and the engagement part of the Buddhist statue storage is fitted to the lid body to set and support the Buddha statue.

In other words, although the overall height of the Buddha statue vacuum-sealed inside the heat-resistant see-through body as described above is quite large, the heat-resistant see-through body with such a large height can also be used as a remains storage chamber. By setting it in the mushi, a relatively compact state is formed, and after some of the remains are stored in the ashes storage chamber, it is removed from the heat-resistant see-through body and placed on the lid body. By setting the Buddha statues of shorter and smaller heights, the Buddha statues themselves are always set at a generally preferred and stable level within the zushi.

Therefore, even when used as a nenjibutsu during life, the zushi itself can be formed into a relatively compact form, making it suitable for use in modern urban living environments, and can be carried as a nenjibutsu and used for worship, especially in passenger cars. enable. Also, after the remains of the deceased have been stored, they can of course be used as small memorial tablets.
It will be used as a shrine, eliminating the cost and graveyard problems associated with huge shrine facilities, and making it possible to worship at all times.

(Example) To explain the specific embodiment of the present invention as shown in the attached drawings, the state in which the funeral utensil according to the present invention is used as a nenbutsu during life is as shown in Figs. 1 and 2. A Zushi pedestal 21 that supports the heat-resistant see-through body 3 is formed at the extreme pressure 20 portion of the Zushi main body 2, and a remains storage chamber 22 is formed by making the Zushi pedestal 21 and, if necessary, the extreme pressure 20 portion hollow. ing. In addition, a Buddha statue 1 made of heat-resistant material (of course, this Buddha statue can be not only a Buddhist statue but also a Christian cross, a Shinto object of worship, etc., and the present invention uses these) A conical mounting part 30 is formed at the bottom of the heat-resistant see-through body 3 that accommodates a Buddhist statue (generally referred to as a Buddhist statue), and is mounted in the ashes storage chamber 22 as described above. In order to stabilize the remains, it is preferable to attach an annular leaf spring member 23 or the like to the upper inner surface of the remains storage chamber 22.

The Buddha statue 1 described above is integrally formed with a Buddha statue pedestal 10, and such a Buddha statue pedestal 10 is provided with an engaging part 11 protrudingly provided, and a conical mounting part on both sides of the lower part of the heat-resistant transparent body 3. Buddhist statue support parts 31 and 31 are formed to protrude inward on the Buddha statue support part 30, and the Buddha statue pedestal 1 is formed on these Buddha statue support parts 3131.
0 is supported and stably held within the see-through body 3. At this time, a heat-resistant cushioning material such as asbestos may be interposed on the back of the Buddha statue L or on the circumferential side or bottom of the Buddha statue pedestal IO. can.

Both sides (or - side) of the Zushi main body 2 as described above
A door 24 is pivotally attached to the door 25 so that it can be opened and closed, and the inside and outside surfaces of the door 24 and other areas have a pattern 2 that is suitable for use as a zushi.
B is applied as shown in the illustration, and such door 2
A lock piece 26 or the like that maintains the closed state of No. 4 is employed.

The Buddha statue 1 as described above is formed of heat-resistant metal or high-grade refractory material, has its surface coated with heat-resistant plating or other coating, is housed in the transparent body 3, and is sealed in a vacuum state. Therefore, such a Buddha statue 1 can be cremated together with the body, and the heat-resistant transparent body 3 made of quartz glass will not be burned out even during cremation, and the Buddha statue 1 or its beauty under vacuum conditions will be preserved. The coating will not be oxidized and discolored. That is, since the Buddha statue 1 is cremated with the body, it gives a strong impression that it protects the deceased by being with the body during the cremation ceremony, but after the cremation, the Buddha statue 1 inside the transparent part body 3 remains together with the remains without changing color. Therefore, the appearance of such a Buddha statue 1 will give a great impression when the remains are disposed of by the attendees, etc. However, in the present invention, the Buddha statue 1 obtained as described above is The body 3 is crushed appropriately and sent to the zushi 2 again. For this reason, the above-mentioned Zushi pedestal 21
For this purpose, a lid body 4 as shown in FIG. A fitting hole 4I that engages with the above-mentioned engaging portion 11 is formed.

Therefore, with the essential parts of the remains, such as the Adam's apple and part of the skull, stored in the remains storage chamber 22 as described above, the lid body 4 is applied to the Zushi pedestal 21, and then the engaging part 1
1 into the hole 41, the Buddha statue 1 is again set in the zushi 2 via the lid body 4.

The items obtained as described above are immediately used as memorial tablets, and if it is necessary to display a posthumous name etc., the Zushi 2
It is obvious that a posthumous name display body could be set separately within the system. That is, in this way, the present invention can be used as a memorial tablet, but it is also clear that it can be used as a memorial tablet because it stores a part of the remains (particularly the vital part), and in this way, it can be used as a memorial tablet. It is possible to perform consistent rituals from the beginning to after death.

In addition, when the urn according to the present invention is used as a grave as described above, most of the remains will remain, but even when storing the remains in a conventional urn, it is difficult to collect and store all the remains. As a result, a considerable portion has been disposed of. Furthermore, in some cases, the entire remains are crushed and scattered, and it is also well known that it is preferable for the remains to be returned to the soil in the end. If the ashes are interred and worshiped as described above, there will be no inconvenience in the end. What is preferable is that by using the tomb of the present invention as described above, there is no need for a huge tomb or graveyard, and it becomes possible for the bereaved family to worship at all times, and to have a close sense of intimacy with the deceased. You can receive divine protection.

As a specific manufacturing example, the heat-resistant see-through body 3 described above can be suitably made of quartz glass with a height of 75 cm and an outer diameter of about 12 to 18 cm, and as shown in the figure. The Buddha statue 1 having a height of about 5 to 5 U+ including the engaging portion 11 can be appropriately housed and vacuum-sealed. Buddha statue 1 is made of cobalt alloy and heat-resistant plated to 1,200 yen.
It is obtained as a material that does not discolor under vacuum conditions at the cremation temperature of around 10.degree. The width of the Zushi body is 60~70m, the depth is 42~50mg+
Therefore, it can be set up and carried in any suitable place, including inside a passenger car, rather than fixed in a Buddhist altar, with almost no hindrance, and can be said to be preferable as a memorial Buddha. It is clear that this provides greater benefits when used as a living room. Moreover, the set state of the Buddha statue 1 is almost the same in the Zushi 2 as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, and the set relationship between the Zushi 2 and the Buddha statue 1 will not be out of balance in either case.

``Effects of the Invention'' The present invention as explained above enables the use of Nenjibutsu, memorial tablets, and tombs during life and after death, and is compact and allows such uses to be smoothly achieved, while also solving graveyard problems at low cost. It is an invention that has a great industrial effect because it effectively solves the problem, and is always close to the person and has the effect of gaining a sense of closeness and faith for both the person himself and his family. It is.
