Temple underground palace marketing consultation

First, whether the temple has a legal license for religious activities;

The second is whether the temple has a report on the construction of the underground palace and the approval of the Religious Affairs Bureau (the process of this report is not as complicated as that of a regular building, and it is usually written by the Religious Affairs Bureau) and the approval of the fire department (because once the ashes are stored, more people worship every year, which is easy to cause fires. In the event of a fire, the local first-hand punishment is extremely severe, so the management is very strict);

3. If the project is in Fujian, an official document signed by the Civil Affairs Bureau (cemetery director) and the Religious Affairs Bureau (religious director) must be issued. Because of the underground palace sales, only Fujian province has entered the most standardized management, and other provinces are still unclear.

Fourth, it must be composed of four disciples (male monk and female monk; Men at home, women at home). -This can be circumvented, just apply for a conversion certificate when using it.

-After the above four conditions are met, the underground palace can be launched.

-In addition, there are two ways for monks to arrange their own death. One is cremation, which is the most widely used and common way, including Sakyamuni; The second is to install a jar (this is the monk who foresees that his practice may achieve positive results and deliberately leaves his body as a tool to educate the world. So when he died, he told his disciples to put his body in a big jar with a hole in the bottom and surround it with charcoal for three years before opening it. If the corpse doesn't rot, it means that he has achieved a positive result, and the disciple will paint it with gold and save it, which is called "golden body". The most typical examples are Hui Neng, the sixth ancestor of Guangdong Province, and Jin Qiaojue, the incarnation of Tibetan Bodhisattva in Jiuhuashan, Anhui Province. If it has rotted, it will be lit and burned from the bottom of the urn.

Therefore, if the cremated ashes belong to the eminent monk Dade, they will be stored in a separate tower called "stupa" (such as Tallinn in Shaolin Temple); In the case of monks and laymen, the stupa is jointly built and stored, which is called "Haihui Pagoda". But interestingly, influenced by the custom of "being buried underground" in China, temples will build basements downstairs or under towers, which are more popular among believers and called "underground palaces".
