What do you need for the May 7th ceremony?
We divide the things that need to be prepared into three categories:
1, burning paper money, usually cut white paper or light yellow paper into the shape of copper coins and incinerate it to death, as long as it is money.
2, burning incense, the meaning of burning incense is not only to express respect, gratitude and nostalgia for the deceased; At the same time, it is a very important intermediary between god, man and ghost. By burning incense, people can establish a good relationship with gods and ghosts.
Therefore, it is very necessary to invite a good fragrance. A good incense can not only convey the grief and nostalgia for the ancestors, but also worship Buddha and pray for the gods to bless the ancestors who died in the underworld.
It is suggested that a prayer incense can be customized on the smokeless copper stove. This fragrance is made of natural plant materials, such as chrysanthemum, which can be used to express your grief. It can also be customized according to the flowers and plants loved by the ancestors to express their respect for the ancestors, and the deceased ancestors will be grateful;
And it is a natural fragrance, and I realize that life is actually the true meaning of dyeing clean and dedication. Now the chemical incense outside, the smoke produced by burning will not only endanger the health of others; Thick smoke is not conducive to environmental protection. In this way, if you can't seek happiness, you will create endless evils. How can you ask God to protect your family and the immortals?
3. Burn sacrifices and prepare some sacrifices for cremation to the deceased. These offerings to the gods and the dead are to let them enjoy the offerings, to bless the whole family, to eliminate disasters and pray for blessings, which means people's sincerity and filial piety. Offer sacrifices such as wine, cattle, sheep and plants to gods, ancestors and the dead, hoping that they will be blessed and enjoy the details.
