What are the procedures for Buddhist cylinder burial?

When the deceased sits in the cylinder, most of them should fill the body with charcoal and lime and seal the cylinder. When the cylinder is opened, the body will be put into shape, cleaned and painted, trimmed and imaged with gold. Later monks chose to "sit in the jar" mainly to achieve the so-called "good health." Buddhism's pursuit of "the flesh is not bad" originated when Sakyamuni Buddha was alive.

According to classic records, when Sakyamuni Buddha lay dying, he told his disciple Maha Kaya to hold the mantle of Buddha and keep his body intact until Maitreya Buddha became a Buddha and transformed all beings. After Buddhism was introduced into China, there were many records of being healthy in Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties and Sui and Tang Dynasties. As for the placement of the flesh, most of them were placed in caves or stone chambers in the mountains at first, without special treatment or sacrifice.

"Zuohua" can show that a person's realm is different from general customs.

First, the posture at the end of life is sitting, while most people are lying down;

Second, it shows that there is no pain when you die. Therefore, in many biographies of Buddhist history, there are many descriptions of the dying state of meditation practitioners, such as "nature", "nature", "comfort" and "no disease", but there is no description of the container where the bodies are placed after meditation, and the bodies after meditation are generally cremated.
