Buddha Columbarium, also known as Lotus Position, Lotus Seat, Underground Palace Buddha Columbarium or Merit Position, is commonly found in temples.

In simple terms, a Buddha Columbarium is a place used for prayer and disaster relief during one’s lifetime, and for housing ashes after passing away.

Placing the Buddha Columbarium in the underground palace of a temple not only continues the traditional Chinese burial custom of "resting in peace underground and being honored in the palace," sheltered from wind and rain, but also aligns with the philosophical beliefs of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism—"harmony between heaven and humanity, returning to nature."

With daily sutra chanting by monks for blessings and liberation, constant incense offerings, and perpetual sacred music, it promotes Buddhist culture while inheriting China’s millennia-old filial piety tradition. It brings peace and auspiciousness to the living and helps the deceased ascend to the ultimate bliss.

The供奉 of Buddha Columbarium is environmentally friendly, economical, and green. Compared to public cemeteries, it uses less land, giving back to society. It is affordable, easing the financial burden on descendants, truly achieving "peace for the deceased and comfort for the living." It aligns with the modern concept of "honoring the elderly well while keeping funerals simple," representing an advanced trend in burial practices that benefits society, conserves land resources, and supports environmental sustainability—fitting perfectly with China’s funeral reform policies.

As the Chinese saying goes, "resting in peace underground." This peace can be categorized into three levels:

• Resting in a decent Feng Shui location is minor peace.

• Burial in an excellent Feng Shui site is medium peace.

• Burial in a temple, pagoda, or Buddhist pure land is great peace.

However, merely having a Buddha Columbarium is not enough—its location is equally important. It is essential to choose a place with profound Buddhist historical significance. Placing the Buddha Columbarium in such a culturally rich environment ensures blessings from the Bodhisattva and prosperity for future generations.

Benefits of Residing in the Nine-Grade Lotus Pool:

1. Accumulate Merit: The Lotus Position is a paradise before Buddha. Obtaining it allows one to be near Buddha and alongside eminent monks, continually receiving teachings and enlightenment, ultimately achieving full merit.

2. Ward Off Disasters: With a Lotus Position, monks chant sutras daily, providing divine protection and eliminating misfortunes.

3. Increase Blessings and Longevity: Acquiring a Lotus Position brings Buddha’s blessings. Combined with continuous personal merit accumulation, it ensures enduring fortune and longevity.

4. Permanent Assurance: Temples are approved by religious authorities to build internal religious facilities, guaranteeing permanence with no worries of relocation or demolition.

5. Cost-Effective: A one-time merit donation covers all expenses, avoiding the hassle of management fees every 20-30 years in public cemeteries.

6. Historical Opportunity: Donating and供奉 Buddha Columbarium is a rare, invaluable chance to support funeral reform, conserve land for future generations, and enjoy honors previously reserved for eminent monks—being neighbors to Buddha and Bodhisattvas.

Buddha Columbarium is a non-renewable unique resource in Buddhism. Donating or供奉 it can serve as a祈福 altar for family prosperity, harmonizing yin and yang, making it exceptionally precious.

• On the 1st and 15th of each lunar month, temple monks chant sutras to bless devotees who have acquired Buddha Columbarium.

• Year-round incense offerings ensure eternal reverence.

Domestic temple underground palace Lotus Positions are scarce resources. In cities with millions of people, only a few thousand such positions are available. As resources diminish, the cost of acquiring one will gradually increase.
