Intro to Buddhist rites for death

Daily writing promptDescribe a family member.View all responses Buddhist rites for death vary significantly across cultures, regions, and Buddhist traditions. Still, they share common themes and teachings rooted in the Buddha’s understanding of अनित्य – Anitya (impermanence), दुःख – Duhkha (suffering), and निर्वाण – Nirvana (cessation of suffering).

From Amy/See the very interesting and beautifully written article below regarding the connection between Buddhism and St. Patrick.

In Christian lore, Patrick became the deer when he first returned to Ireland. After lighting the paschal fire in defiance of the tribal chieftain, he sang his protection song, often called "The Deer's Cry," and became a deer, binding himself to all the powers of creation and culminating in Christ:

Christ with me, Christ before me, Christ behind me, Christ within me, Christ beneath me, Christ above me, Christ at my right, Christ at my left, Christ in the fort, Christ in the chariot-seat, Christ in the mighty stern.

The Buddha's great protection song, the Metta Sutta, has the same encircling power given in a similar context of spiritual conflict. A group of monks settled in a forest for a retreat and the spirits tried to drive them away. The Buddha's encouragement wasn't enough so he bestowed on them a paritta protection chant. They made relatives with the spirits, who accepted and even began to protect them.

Radiating kindness over the entire world: Spreading upwards to the skies, And downwards to the depths; Outwards and unbounded, Freed from hatred and ill-will. Whether standing or walking, seated or lying down

Catholics might see the Buddha as an "anonymous Christian," someone perfected by God's grace though never having learned of Jesus. Buddhist might see Patrick as a Bodhisattva, one that defers entry into Nirvana to pray for the happiness of all living beings.

I'll leave that debate to the side, for in them both I see the Deer: the essence of the spiritual journey and its connection to land, radiating compassion above, below, and all around.

It’s great to see certain things you love about others and proceed to implement those good qualities into your life. It’s also good to see the negative habits of others (especially family members) and from that moment on, work your hardest everyday to not engage in said behavior for your well-being and that of those around you.

According to Chinese Buddhist tradition, the birth anniversary of the Buddha is celebrated on the eighth day of the fourth lunar month.

 The Buddhist Association of China on Wednesday held a commemorative event at Guangji Temple in Beijing to observe the birth anniversary of the Buddha.

Sutra chanting and Buddha bathing rituals were held during the event, which was attended by representatives from China's major Buddhist communities, as well as foreign envoys.

Addressing the event, Master Yanjue, head of the association, lauded generations of Buddhists for building bridges of harmony, mutual respect and common development among people of different countries.

The Chinese Buddhist community is willing to join hands with Buddhists and peace-loving people around the world to jointly promote the harmonious coexistence of diverse cultures and different civilizations, as well as mutual learning and exchange, he said.
