steps:
|
|
- headline: Set the altar
|
|
description: >-
|
|
The family sets the altar with the ancestors' tablets or photographs,
|
|
incense, and offerings of food and drink that the ancestors enjoyed
|
|
in life.
|
|
- headline: Offer with reverence
|
|
description: >-
|
|
The senior family member offers incense and food, bowing before the
|
|
altar. The offering is made as if the ancestors were present to
|
|
receive it.
|
|
- headline: Name the ancestors
|
|
description: >-
|
|
The ancestors are named — recently departed first, then the lineage.
|
|
Naming keeps the relationship specific, not abstract.
|
|
- headline: Report family matters
|
|
description: >-
|
|
The senior member reports significant family matters — births,
|
|
deaths, milestones — to the ancestors, keeping them present in the
|
|
family's ongoing life.
|
|
- headline: Share the food
|
|
description: >-
|
|
The family shares the offered food together, the meal now blessed by
|
|
the offering. The ritual closes in shared eating.
|
|
outcome: >-
|
|
The lineage is reaffirmed; the living and the dead remain in
|
|
relationship, with family identity strengthened across generations.
|
|
practice: >-
|
|
The ritual maintains of relationship
|
|
with those who made the living. Perform it regularly, not only at
|
|
crisis. The food shared afterwards is part of the ritual. |
