The so-called relic is the crystallization of personal practice. Originally, the relic was called the relic, and later it was called the relic. Relic was originally translated into various names in Hindi, such as (establishment) ... and it means "relic" or "spiritual bone". These relics were not completely obtained by cremation. The formation of Buddhist relics has nothing to do with doing good, but mainly related to living habits, but it is very important that you will live longer by doing good. If you use a certain food for a long time, some of its elements will be deposited in your body. When you are cremated, they will form various crystals when heated. In Hindi, the relic is called Todo, also called Sherilo, which is translated into spiritual bone, body bone and body in Chinese. It's a crystal left by a person after cremation. But the relics are completely different from the bones of ordinary dead people. Its shapes are ever-changing, including round, oval, lotus, Buddha or bodhisattva; Its colors are white, black, green and red, and there are also various colors; Some relics are like pearls, while others are like agates and crystals. Some are transparent, others are bright, just like diamonds. White relics are bones, black relics are hair, red relics are muscles, and there are also green or five-color relics. According to the scripture, the relic is obtained by a person through practicing discipline, determination and wisdom, plus his own great will. It is very rare and precious. For example, after the Buddha's nirvana, as many as one stone and six buckets of relics were burned. At that time, eight kings competed for the Buddha relic, and each got a share. They brought the relics of the Buddha back to their own country and built pagodas for people to watch and worship. In addition, accomplished monks and believers at home can also get Buddhist relics after death. For example, Huineng, the sixth ancestor of China, and modern masters Hong Yi, Yin Guang, Taixu and Zhang Jia all left a considerable number of relics. The types of relics are generally divided into whole body relics and broken body relics. The whole body relic does not need to be cremated, but it will not rot. This is called the whole body relic, also known as the body bodhisattva; Broken relics are cremated remains. However, there are also some Buddhist relics that do not change from the human body, such as running out of the sky or underground, or being born from oil lamps or flowers, and there is also a kind of Buddhist relics that are sincerely worshipped and reborn from Buddhist relics. In the merit of bathing Buddha, the relic is divided into: 1. Living Buddha relics, also known as body and bone relics, are the remains of the Buddha; The second is the relic of the instrument, also known as the relic of the instrument, which refers to the teaching methods and commandments left by the Buddha. The phenomena of this relic show that it can't be a stone. The main component of stones is calcium or metal salt deposition, which is similar in shape to scales and fragile. These things will become powdery oxides at high temperatures. There are tens of millions of people suffering from lithiasis, but only practitioners have Buddhist relics. Dade's tongue, heart and other soft tissues without bones can also be cremated to form relics. Even the tongue of a parrot can become a relic. What's more, the number of stones in the body is very small, otherwise it will endanger life, but sometimes the number of relics is extremely amazing, with different colors and shapes. Some relics are extremely hard. When you hit them with a hammer, the anvil sinks without any damage. It is not only for monks who are vegetarian all the year round, but also for laymen who died after a year of conversion. After burning, relics also appeared on the ruins. Of course, some so-called "relics" are really bones and teeth that have not been completely burned, but it is impossible for stones to become "relics" after being burned. Some people interpret the remains as stones in the name of science. In fact, this kind of deception to the public, these so-called sciences are actually "pseudoscience." Some relics are extremely hard. When you hit them with a hammer, the anvil sinks without any damage. Some relics will grow up, give birth to small relics, and so on. Can these be guessed by modern science? In February and March, 2002, the Buddhist finger relic enshrined in Famen Temple in Fufeng County, Shaanxi Province toured Taiwan Province Province, causing a great sensation. In order to ensure that the Buddha's finger relic is foolproof during transportation and sightseeing, the relevant parties on both sides of the strait have formulated and adopted extremely careful safety measures-while installing a bulletproof, fireproof and shockproof glass cover weighing 270 kilograms for Tancheng (the gold-plated copper tower where the Buddha's finger relic is placed weighs 63 kilograms and is 134 cm high), more than 400 people from the Buddhist circles on both sides of the strait will arrive in Taiwan Province from the airport. Infrared sensors and cameras are installed in the pagoda pavilion where the Buddha's finger is located, which can monitor the situation at any time; At the same time, the Dharma Group, composed of 24 monks from the mainland and Taiwan Province Province 120 King Kong, cooperated with other relevant personnel to form four barriers and provide 24-hour escort. All this shows the preciousness and importance of the Buddha's finger relic! What Buddha refers to the relic as so inspiring and touching? Relic refers to the remains of Buddha Sakyamuni (the Tathagata in The Journey to the West) and the beaded gem-like products left after cremation. It is said that 2,500 years ago, when Sakyamuni was in nirvana, when his disciples cremated his body, they got a skull, two bones, four teeth, a middle finger relic and 84,000 pearl-shaped real relics from the ashes. These relics of the Buddha are regarded as sacred objects by believers, competing to offer them. In the changing history, most cultural relics have been lost, annihilated and destroyed. Fortunately, in 1987, many Tang antiquities were found in the underground palace of Famen Temple, among which the only Buddhist relic in the world was found. When unearthed, the Buddha's Finger House was wrapped in a 50-fold letter, with a height of 40.3mm and a weight of16.2g. It was yellowish with cracks and spots. According to historical records, in the Tang Dynasty, this relic was "one inch and two minutes long, straight up and folded down, with different heights, flat on three sides, slightly higher on one side, with hidden marks in the middle, slightly blue as rain, fine and smooth, large pulp, and connected up and down". The record is consistent with the real thing, but the color has turned yellow because it has been soaked in liquid for thousands of years. Among the relics mentioned above, the generation of beaded relics is still a mystery. This kind of relic is not an illusory legend, because among modern Buddhist practitioners, this phenomenon also occurs when cremated after death, although it is rare. The author has a report in the Evening News1July 20th, 994 from Jiangnan Evening News: After the 82-year-old Fayin Master of Lingyanshan Temple in Suzhou died and was cremated, he received numerous five-color relics, a piece of crystal glass and his teeth were not broken. What is particularly strange is that after cremation, its tongue root is still intact, the color is copper gold, and it is as hard as iron. When it is struck, it sounds like a bell, crisp and pleasant, which is rare to see. Cremation is not only a burning process, but also a melting process. On which parts of the body are the beaded relics cast? Can we ordinary people, some of whom are cremated after death, produce some relics? Some people have analyzed that the reason why some Buddhist practitioners can produce Buddhist relics is related to their long-term vegetarianism and drinking mountain spring water. Vegetables and mountain springs are rich in various minerals. After decades of accumulation, there are many contents in all parts of the human body. After cremation, the relics were "refined" Whether this statement is correct needs further study.

What is a relic?

Its magical phenomena show that it can't be a stone:

Medical students should know the appearance and physical properties of stones. The solid is mainly composed of calcium or metal salt deposits, which are similar in shape to scales and fragile (so stones can be broken by ultrasonic waves), and these things will become powdery oxides at high temperature.

Dade's tongue, heart and other soft tissues without bones can also be cremated to form Buddhist relics, and even the tongue of a Buddha-chanting parrot can also become Buddhist relics.

What's more, the number of stones in the body is very small, otherwise it will endanger life, but sometimes the number of relics in Dade is amazing (tens to tens of thousands), and the colors and shapes are different. So many people can't burn stones, can they live?

It's not just monks who are vegetarian all the year round. After only one year's conversion, laymen also have colorful relics after burning, while ordinary vegetarians and many vegetarian animals have relics.

In all kinds of examples, some relics are pure and flawless, some can appear out of thin air (rain falling from the sky), some can shine, some can grow, some can show words on bones, and even the flesh shrinks or disappears, which is beyond the explanation of common sense and modern science.

Of course, some so-called relics are really bones and teeth that have not been completely burned, but stones cannot be incinerated into relics.

The word "relic" was originally called "relic" and later called "relic". Buddhist relics were originally translated into various names in Hindi, meaning (Buddhist relics) or (spiritual bones), but Buddhist relics were not completely obtained by cremation, and there are many examples of Buddhist relics from heaven.

The "relic" is the crystallization of personal abstinence and wisdom. It is also a witness to the achievements of practitioners and can strengthen the practice of disciples. Therefore, when Buddhists see the Buddhist relics, it is like seeing the Buddha and Bodhisattva, worshiping them and offering them sincerely. But before nirvana, the Buddha told his disciples not to pay attention to his Buddhist relics, but to "Dharma Buddhist relics", that is, ancient books that integrate his words, deeds and examples.

There are three main types of relics:

1. Whole body relic: Master Huineng of Shaoguan, Guangdong, and Di Chin, a Tibetan monk of Jiuhuashan Sports Hall in Anhui; Ishii, founder of Shijing Temple in Chengdu, Sichuan. It is what we call a "flesh bodhisattva" whose flesh does not rot.

2, broken relics: it is what everyone usually calls relics. The Buddhist relics after the cremation of Sakyamuni Buddha, the living Buddha of Lausanne Temple, and Master Zhu Zhai are all broken Buddhist relics. Among them, there are many kinds.

3. Relic: The Sutra of Seating, the Sutra of Vulgarity, the Sutra of Tibetan Buddhism and the Sutra of Han Buddhism all belong to the Relic of Relic. It is the crystallization of wisdom left by Dade to future generations.

The Buddhist relics and great virtues left by the Buddha and the eminent monks can make us yearn for the cause, thirsty and believe in Buddhism. Originally, the Buddha was immortal. The reason why he died soon is a convenient performance, in order to prevent all beings from rising dependence and even rising tired and slack hearts. "Hokkekyo" said: "If the Tathagata often becomes immortal, it will be arrogant and annoying. You can't have a hard heart, and the respectful heart is because it is convenient to say that monks should know that it is difficult to meet Buddhas when they are born. " After the Buddha's extinction, leaving the relic to build a tower for all sentient beings is to let all sentient beings offer a rare thought, think about seeing the Buddha when they see the relic, and even "see the Buddha wholeheartedly without cherishing their lives", so as to forge ahead and practice diligently. If we sincerely respect the Buddhist relics, we will feel the intercourse of Taoism and the appearance of the Buddha. This is always the case. In Hokkekyo, the Buddha said to himself, "When I was with all the monks, I came out of Lingjiusan. When I was talking about sentient beings, I stayed here to make things simple, but the existing ones cannot be destroyed. " He also advised: "If you have a wise man, don't be suspicious here. When the order is broken forever, the Buddha's words are true. " In the Sui Dynasty, when the master of Tiantai wise man read the "Skill of the King of Medicine and Bodhisattva" in Beijing, he suddenly fell into deep thought and looked at Lingshan for a while, as if he had never left. Master Hui Si confirmed: "I don't know, I can't prove it." This thing can prove.
