In June 2013, Yuanmen initiated a charity event in cooperation with the Hong Hua Charity Organization for donating coffins to poor families. Those who donate coffins will receive copies of the deceased’s low-income status certificate, certificate of death, and household registry. Then local public offices, public service centers, social service departments of major hospitals, social affairs bureaus, and social welfare centers will arrange the related official documentation/referrals. Each coffin donation is NTD5,500: NTD5,000 of that will be given to the family of the deceased for the purpose of paying funeral expenses (including fees for the cremation, urn, and coffin), while the remaining NTD500 will go to the Hong Hua Charity Organization for administrative fees. Every three months, Yuanmen will publicly post these donations along with those for the rice charity events.

所有施棺功德
回向 施棺者家親眷屬
業障病障悉消除
身心得安康

回向 受施往生者
往生其希願處
得佛菩攝受
生生增上究竟成佛

These coffin donations will result in transfers of merit to the families of the donors, which will help to eliminate bad karma and related sickness, promoting physical and mental peace. It will also result in transfers of merit to the deceased to help them on their way to their desired destination after death, attain Buddha’s protection, and move upward in the next life toward the final objective of attaining Buddhahood.
