釋氏要覽 3.410

3.410

釋氏。奔喪即大迦葉為始也。佛入涅槃已七日迦葉領徒方至雙林。佛於金棺出雙足示之○鈔云。若奔喪者直至尸所禮拜展哀已後從次第位坐○增輝記云。奔喪者。謂在外處師亡凶信至朋友間先為排比處設靈位（此舉哀儀也）然後引至其處舉盡哀後疾疾而歸見星而行見星而舍既至本院若龕柩已歸塔即先往塔所禮拜盡哀右遶數匝然後歸院與法眷行弔。鈔云。若高節拔群由來清卓者故不局世情必若任情喜怒隨俗浮沈者。或父母二師亡而護夏不來雖來又不展哀者亦道俗同恥。

In Buddhism, rushing to a funeral began with Mahākāśyapa. Seven days after the Buddha entered nirvāṇa, Kāśyapa led his disciples and only then reached the Twin Trees; the Buddha extended his two feet from the golden coffin to show him. / The Commentary says: "One who rushes to a funeral goes straight to the place of the corpse, bows, and expresses grief; afterwards, he takes his seat according to seniority." / The Zenghui ji says: "Rushing to a funeral means that when one is elsewhere and the tragic news of a master's death arrives, friends first arrange a spirit tablet at that place (this is the ritual for raising lamentation); afterwards, they lead him to that place to express ultimate grief, after which he returns in haste, traveling when stars appear and resting when stars appear. Having arrived at the home monastery, if the niche-coffin has already entered the stupa, he first goes to the stupa to bow, express ultimate grief, circumambulate to the right several times, and then returns to the monastery to exchange condolences with his Dharma kin." The Commentary says: "Those whose noble integrity surpasses the crowd and who have always been pure and outstanding are not bound by worldly sentiments. But if someone indulges their feelings of joy and anger and drifts along with worldly customs, or when their parents or two masters die, they protect their summer retreat and do not come, or even if they come, they do not express grief, this is a shared shame to both the religious and the secular."
