This man didn't die because his memorial tablet was placed in his grandfather's place.

Respecting ancestors is a fine tradition and virtue of the Chinese nation. Since ancient times, from emperors to dignitaries to ordinary people, special places have been set up at home to worship ancestors. There is another reason, that is, out of human fear, I hope ancestors can protect their families. People are often worried about their own accidents, so they ask the gods to know, naturally thinking of asking the gods related to them and eager for the help of their ancestors. This mentality is actually out of superstition, more than feelings for ancestors. Imagine, if the ancestors have returned to the pure land, or have been reincarnated and put into the bright world, how can they feel the call of future generations? If the ancestors still "stay" in the underworld to protect their descendants, it means that the ancestors have not yet reached the next world and cannot be silent. This ambivalence led to the worst arrangement in Feng Shui. In order to keep their ancestors away from feng shui, they put it at the door of the house. I have seen a lot of restless geomantic omen in my family, which is often caused by putting my ancestors across the hall. If you miss your dead relatives very much, you just need to keep them in your heart, instead of materializing their form alive, so that the place in the sun world can often summon and remember an underworld soul. This is a wrong thinking that many people often make and should be corrected. From the perspective of geomantic omen, the placement of ancestors should be enshrined with the altar. The altar represents a very high god. For example, the altar is dedicated to Guanyin Bodhisattva, which is divided into left and right sides according to the position where Guanyin sits. The left side is high and the right side is low. Generally speaking, ancestors should be placed on the right side of the altar. From the pedestrian's direction, the ancestral position is based on the left. Starting today, there is an altar in your home. If you need to place your ancestors, your ancestors should be placed on the left side of the altar facing you. If you want to put Mahabharata in the dark, you can put it on the left side of Guanyin Bodhisattva, which is the right hand side of the walker. This side is superior, and the other side is ancestor. Many people asked me before, "Is it really necessary to set up a ancestral home? Actually, it may not be necessary. In the tradition of China, only the eldest son needs to set the ancestral throne, and other children don't. If the house you live in is not too big, there is no place to put the altar, and if the whole family also avoids the fire, there is no need to put the ancestral throne. You can send your ancestors to the Buddhist temple for worship, and entrust them to the Buddhist temple, where people recite scriptures every day, so that your ancestors can reach bliss as soon as possible. This is the right way to treat your ancestors. The ancestors of my disciples were all placed in Ming Xiu Buddhist Temple. Go back to the Buddhist temple every week and ask questions by the way. You don't have to stay at home. As descendants, it is enough to go to the Buddhist temple to worship ancestors every year, and there is no need to worship ancestors at home. But for fire lovers, the ancestor god can strengthen the fire, and it is understandable to keep it at home. Therefore, it is often only for feng shui reasons that ancestors are placed at home!
