毘尼母云。闔寺並送葬記云。令觀無常生厭故（今禪居僧亡者。不以尊少主客並打鼓普請送葬蓋准此律）○毘奈耶云。送葬苾芻。可令能者誦無常經。并伽他為其呪願（此文似山所十念也）○淨飯王涅槃經云。淨飯王命終殮以七寶棺佛與難陀在前恭肅而立阿難與羅睺羅在後佛念當來兇暴不報父母深恩躬自擎棺。爾時大千世界六種振動。時四天王乃代佛擎棺。佛乃執香爐。在棺前。導引而行（今釋子。送父母塟可准此經依佛前導生人善心）。

The *Vinayamātṛkā* states: "The entire monastery shall join in escorting the funeral." The commentary states: "It causes them to contemplate impermanence and give rise to revulsion." (Nowadays, when a monk in a Chan residence dies, regardless of seniority or status as host or guest, the drum is sounded to make a general summons to escort the funeral; this is based on this vinaya.) The *Vinaya* states: "The bhikṣus escorting the funeral may have one who is capable chant the *Anityatā-sūtra* and recite verses to make vows for his sake." (This text resembles the "ten recitations" practiced in the mountains.) The *King Śuddhodana-parinirvāṇa-sūtra* states: "When King Śuddhodana's life ended, he was placed in a coffin of the seven treasures. The Buddha and Nanda stood reverently in front; Ānanda and Rāhula were behind. The Buddha, considering that in the future there would be violent and unfilial persons who would not repay the deep kindness of their parents, personally carried the coffin. At that time, the great trichiliocosm trembled in six ways. The Four Heavenly Kings then took the Buddha's place in carrying the coffin. The Buddha then held an incense burner and led the way in front of the coffin." (Nowadays, when Śākya disciples escort their parents' funeral, they may follow this sūtra, guiding the way before them according to the Buddha's example, to generate goodness in people's hearts.)
