How does Buddhist relics come after all? Want to answer this one question, want to reply above all: Buddhist relics what meaning is this word after all?
Buddhist relics is word of a transliteration, come from Yu Fan language: ? ? ? ? ? Ar ī Ra, interpret is made set benefit collect, means is body or body spirit, often point to ashes of the dead.
Allegedly Sakyamuni Buddha destroys after spending, his remains passes cremation, leave a lot of ashes of the dead and remains, be deuced by the king of 8 devotional buddhism, come loose at each district.
The Buddhist relics of Sakyamuni, about is not had flatly strange. For instance Nanjing pays a debt of gratitude greatly the Buddhist relics of Buddha parietal bone that the temple comes up out of land is beige, submit beehive form, look not to have distinction with a common stone.
So Buddhist relics this not mysterious, also do not have the place of gods and spirits, just placed Buddhist the belief to Buddha of this Shi Shijia Mou Ni and chase after think of just.
But the Buddhist relics of great mind of later ages dignitary is more and more flowery however dazzing, some glittering and translucent get rid of are appeared, some is multicoloured and gorgeous, resemble gem jade same, and the amount is increasing, more and more general. Connect lay Buddhist is in the home even to finally, if Na Huaijin also can burn a Buddhist relics,came.
Someone says, multicoloured and gorgeous Buddhist relics is state of dignitary cultivate oneself according to a religious doctrine is indicative. But what I do not understand is, the Sakyamuni Buddha of highest state in buddhism, burn the Buddhist relics that go out to be not had flatly strange, after that the Buddhist relics of world dignitary brights than, is the state of later ages dignitary even taller than Sakyamuni?
Besides is right of Buddhist relics adore also do not accord with buddhism " scene is hollow namely " and " 5 accumulate all empty " teach natural science. Buddhism thinks, the person's body is to 4 is mix greatly close and become, it is temporary existence content only, false like dream, brief like the visionary hope. Buddhism adopts cremate, also be to let body this world put in dust 's charge to put in earth 's charge, do not leave to hang hinder. So the body of Nazarite can burn a flowery Buddhist relics how again, is this a proof 4 big not empty?
So is those flowery and dazzing later Buddhist relics after all how come?
Somebody thinks, dignitary people when cremation, meeting be buried with the dead is very much gem jade. And the high temperature that the cremation of fane won't use funeral parlour cremates furnace, it is the baked wheaten cake that use bavin, because this temperature is insufficient tall, a lot of bead jade won't by or burn down, became so called " Buddhist relics " .
In addition still a kind of Buddhist relics calls an induction Buddhist relics, buddhist relics of renown shadow body, it is Buddhist child people wait for precious with jade agate rare material is tailor-made, replace true Buddhist relics to accept the prostrate of believer.
The those glowing Buddhist relics that I think everybody sees now, do not give these two kinds of cases roughly.
Go out to ponder over a problem together to everybody finally:
To Buddhist relics of Buddha parietal bone, very much Buddhist ancient codes and records has Chinese ancient time depict, the appearance does not have designed place. Be like " Luoyang gal is blue write down " roll 5: Circumference 4 inches, huang Bai is lubricious, there is opening below, get person finger, shine to be like the nest that admire bee like that; " law Yuan Zhulin " roll 29: Wide 2 inches more than, lubricious Huang Bai, hair aperture is trenchant; " the law shows pass " : Bone Huang Bai is lubricious, circumference 4 inches, the apophysis on its; " region writes down Datangxi " roll one: Face wide Cun Yu, its color Huang Bai, hair aperture is trenchant.
Search the picture of Buddhist relics of Buddha parietal bone now however, can see the grain of greatly small multicoloured is bestrewed on Buddhist relics.
Is asking everybody to ponder over this why?
