The “Buddha Columbarium”, also known as the “Merit Position” or “Lotus Position”, serves as a blessed space where people their aspirations for a better life and find spiritual solace. The term “blessing” in this context refers to the five traditional virtues: longevity, wealth, health, virtue, and a peaceful passing.

The main functions of the Buddha Columbarium are as follows:

1. Living Blessing (种生基)
   In both Chinese Buddhism and Taoism, it is believed that every person possesses three souls and seven spirits, which reside within the body and throughout the universe. “Living Blessing” involves placing personal items such as hair, nails, clothing, and one’s birth date and time into the Buddha Columbarium. This act serves as a prayer to the heavens and the earth, seeking blessings and harmony.

   Typically located in areas with excellent feng shui, the Columbarium harnesses the energy of nature and the essence of the mountains and rivers. It is believed that this energy can positively influence both the individual and their descendants, helping to achieve success in career, longevity, marriage, fertility, wisdom, prosperity, and protection from misfortunes.

2. Meritorious Devotion
   Devoting a Buddha Columbarium is a rare and honorable opportunity, bringing everlasting glory to one’s family. This act supports the temple, sustains the teachings of the Buddha, and honors the monastic community. The merits gained are believed to be eternally recognized by the Buddhas and bodhisattvas.

3. Blessings for the Living
   Devotion to a Buddha Columbarium can bring blessings, eliminate misfortunes, and extend the lifespan of the living.

4. Sacred Environment
   Temples are often situated in serene environments with lush greenery, singing birds, and fragrant flowers. These spaces provide fulfillment, purify the mind, enrich culture, and elevate the soul. Permanent devotion in such settings is believed to contribute to the prosperity of one’s family.

5. Divine Protection
   Those who devote a Buddha Columbarium are said to receive the protection and blessings of the Buddhas and bodhisattvas, ensuring enduring good fortune.

6. Permanent Devotion
   A one-time devotion grants permanent ownership of the Columbarium, symbolizing an eternal connection with the Buddhas, bodhisattvas, and ancestral masters.

7. Inheritance for Future Generations
   The Buddha Columbarium can be passed down through generations, allowing descendants to express gratitude and continue the legacy of devotion.
