No, there is no such superstition in Buddhism.

The custom of burning paper money in China began after the Han Dynasty. For example, Dr. Wang Yu, a doctor in the Tang Dynasty, said:

"Since the Han Dynasty, funerals buried money, and later generations took paper as a ghost." This means that since the Han Dynasty, people have lost their lives after death.

When you are buried, you should bury the dead with coins. Because China thought that people were ghosts after death since ancient times, so

Explaining Chinese characters also says that "people are defined as ghosts". People die as ghosts, and the world of thinking about ghosts is the same as that of the world, but it is cloudy.

The world between Yang and Yang is just different, so I think ghosts need life and money, so I use coins to bury them. Later, there was

People think it's a pity to use real coins, so they cut the paper into the shape of money and burn it to ghosts. In modern times,

Due to the circulation of paper money, "Guo Ming Bank" also issued a large number of Mingbi! (Note)

This kind of low-level superstition is almost the same belief of all primitive nationalities and religions, including physical objects, money and jewelry.

Cloth and silk, even buried by people and animals.

As for burning with fire, it may be related to Zoroastrianism. It is believed that Vulcan can convey what is burned to ghosts and gods. print

Ani (Vulcan) in Rigveda has such a function.

China folk use paper money, tin foil, coins, gold and silver and furniture made of paper paste.

Things, houses and even modern cars, planes, ships, etc. , thinking that after burning, they will get the benefits of ghosts.

In fact, Buddhism does not think that people are ghosts after death, and only one in six may be ghosts. Buddhism is even more out of tune.

People think that the tinfoil in the burnt paper library can be used by ghosts. Buddhism only believes that relatives of the deceased can give alms and offerings.

The merits and demerits of Buddhists and Monks belong to the dead and turn over the dead. The rest are useless superstitions. Buddhism

Not only does Buddhism not advocate using utensils as human sacrifices, but it also advocates not using expensive coffins or wearing expensive ones after death.

Clothes, don't use too much manpower and material resources; You should put on the clean old clothes you wear every day and change the good ones into new ones.

All the clothes are given to poor families. If you have money, you should do more charity and sacrifice to the three treasures. only

So that the deceased can get tangible benefits. Otherwise, it is the stupidest behavior to bury and burn beautiful things.

This is not the work of a Buddhist who believes in it.

Unfortunately, many monks and nuns don't understand this truth today, even the Buddhists from mainland China to Taiwan Province Province.

Christians also invented another kind of paper money, which is called "former generation money". On a small piece of yellow paper, Sanskrit characters are printed with red watermarks.

Mother's death curse was used as ghost's money. In fact, chanting and burning paper are two different things.

. Buddhist scriptures say that printed scriptures cannot be burned, and burning them is a crime.

Moreover, now monks and nuns chanting, confession, opening their mouths, and even playing land and water for others must be written and read out.

After being incinerated, it was learned from Fu-Taoism, which was used to dilute and exorcise the gods it worshipped.

Superstition has no basis in Buddhist teachings. Everything in Buddhism is the induction of advocating piety. You don't have to if you have the heart.

Burning it thin is bound to be useful, otherwise what's the use even if you burn thousands of sheets of paper?
