Buddha Columbarium is a term derived from Buddhist culture, also referred to as Lotus Position, Buddha Position Blessing Position, or Fortune Lotus Position. It serves as a sacred space for enshrining Buddha statues, ancestral tablets, meaningful tokens, and ashes—providing spiritual solace during one’s lifetime and a final resting place thereafter.
In this flourishing era, some temples have begun offering underground palace blessing spaces, harmonizing tradition with modernity to compassionately bestow blessings. Being laid to rest in a temple, accompanied by the presence of Buddhas and bodhisattvas, not only brings peace to the family but also extends blessings to future generations.
Reasons to Acquire a Buddha Columbarium
For Blessings and Peace in This Life
A Buddha Columbarium serves the living by helping to dispel misfortunes, prolong life, attract wealth, enhance career success, and ensure overall well-being. It offers spiritual protection both for the individual and their descendants.
In Chinese tradition, it is customary for people of a certain age to prepare a “longevity vessel”—a symbolic coffin—not as a morbid reminder, but as a means of inviting good fortune and long life. Placing it in an elevated position signifies prayers for the family’s prosperity and success.
Donating to a temple for a Buddha Columbarium during one’s lifetime is also an act of seeking protection and blessings—for children’s healthy growth, the elderly’s longevity, business success, prosperous official careers, and overall family harmony and smooth endeavors.
A Final Resting Place for Ashes
Life inevitably includes aging and passing—a natural process we must face with acceptance. We come from nature and ultimately return to it.
Temples are often situated in areas with excellent feng shui and are considered dragon-vein lands—energetically powerful sites. Bathed in Buddha’s light, blessed by monks’ sutras, surrounded by perpetual incense and chanting, these spaces provide eternal peace. They are places where ancestors are remembered, honored, and where legacies are continued.
With the spread and innovation of Buddhism, along with reforms in China’s funeral industry, temple-style blessing spaces have become increasingly meaningful. They offer a dignified environment, free from natural disturbances or concerns about relocation and depreciation, creating lasting value for future generations.
Advantages of Choosing a Buddha Columbarium
Buddha Columbarium sites are scarce nationwide, with only a limited number of temples qualified to construct underground palace blessing spaces.
As urban land becomes increasingly limited, the cost of cemeteries and public graves continues to rise. In major cities like Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen, grave prices have even surpassed those of residential real estate. Planning ahead ensures that you won’t burden your children in the future.
Securing a Buddha Columbarium early not only brings peace of mind to you and your family but also helps save significant costs and reduce financial pressure. For example, a space that costs ¥20,000–30,000 today is likely to multiply in value in just a few years.
