| In some Buddhist sects in Japan, it may be considered by the influence of the syncretism of Shinto and Buddhism that the individual spirit will become unified with the sosen shin (ancestral god) at the time of the sanjyusankaiki or the gojyukaiki (the 49th anniversary of one's death). |
日本の仏教の一部では、神仏習合の影響により、三十三回忌・五十回忌をめどに「祖先神」として一体化すると考える場合もある。 |
