Ritual text
20. Jahrhundert | Christoph Krüger de Bary
The text, written in the Dao script, which is derived from Chinese, guides the priest on his spiritual journey from earth to heaven. According to these descriptions, the soul of the deceased is sent to the realm of the ancestors in every funeral ceremony. On other ritual occasions, deities are invited to sit at the house altar when the text is read. Here they can be asked for their help in overcoming a variety of problems.
