Once this ritual is completed, the paper tablets will be burned with the rest of the paper artefact.

The purposes of this ritual is to let the deceased to reincarnate to a better life.

过“金银桥”

在“打斋”仪式中,过“金银桥”是在焚烧纸札物品之前要完成的最后一项仪式。

仪式由道长带领着逝者的家人,手拿着纸牌位(代表逝者),将纸牌位一级一级的过“金银桥”。

过完桥,纸牌位会和其他纸札物品一起焚烧。

这仪式是为了让逝者早日脱离苦海、转世投胎。
