Buddha Columbarium also known as Lotus Shrine Buddha Shrine Blessing Shrine, or Fortune Lotus Shrine, is a term derived from Buddhist culture. It serves as a sacred space for enshrining Buddha statues, ancestral tablets, meaningful relics, and cremated remains. During one’s lifetime, it is believed to bring blessings, dispel misfortunes, and ensure peace. In the afterlife, it provides a dignified resting place for the departed.

In this prosperous era, some temples have begun offering underground palace blessing shrines, 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 safeguards the family but also extends blessings to future generations.

Reasons to Acquire a Buddha Columbarium

1. Blessings in This Life — Immediate Benefits
   A Buddha Columbarium serves the living by providing a space for prayer and blessings. It is believed to help ward off misfortune, promote longevity, attract wealth, enhance career success, and ensure overall safety and harmony. It offers spiritual protection not only for the current generation but also for descendants.

   In Chinese tradition, it is customary for people of a certain age to prepare a special storage unit — not referred to as a coffin but rather as a "longevity vessel" — symbolizing prayers for fortune and long life. Placing it in an elevated position represents wishes for future generations to achieve prosperity and success.

   Donating to a temple for a Buddha Columbarium during one’s lifetime is also an act of seeking blessings — for children’s healthy growth, elders’ longevity, business success, career advancement, and family harmony.

2. A Final Resting Place — Ultimately Essential
   Life inevitably includes aging and passing, a natural process that must be faced with peace and acceptance. As we come from nature, we ultimately return to it.

   Temples are often situated in areas with excellent feng shui and are considered dragon-vein lands — locations brimming with positive energy. Here, the light of Buddha shines daily, eminent monks chant sutras for liberation, incense is offered continuously, and sacred hymns resonate perpetually. Resting in such a place means eternal blessings and a dignified environment for descendants to pay respects, commemorate, and carry forward family traditions.

   With the spread and innovation of Buddhism, as well as reforms in China’s funeral industry, enshrining remains in a hall-style Buddha Columbarium ensures protection from the elements, pests, and potential relocation. It also carries profound meaning, benefiting generations to come.

3. Advantages of Choosing a Buddha Columbarium — A Practical Choice
   Buddha Columbarium slots are scarce nationwide, with only a limited number of temples qualified to construct underground palace shrines.

   As urban land becomes increasingly scarce, the cost of cemeteries and public burial grounds continues to rise. In major cities like Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen, grave prices have even surpassed real estate prices. 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 expenses. For example, a shrine that costs around ¥20,000–30,000 today is likely to multiply in value in the coming years.
