2,500 years ago, when Sakyamuni was in nirvana, disciples got a parietal bone, two shoulder blades, four teeth, a middle finger relic and 84,000 beaded relics from the ashes. 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 "Buddha finger 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. Finally, the picture connection.

"relic" was originally called "relic" and later called "relic". This relic was originally translated into various names in India, such as (Establishment) ..., that is to say, the relics (relics) or (spiritual bones) were not obtained entirely by cremation, but also by chanting, worshipping Buddha or combining the relics with the aura of heaven and earth.

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", which is a classic that integrates his words, deeds and examples.

There are many kinds of relics, and the real relics are extremely hard. If you hit them with a hammer, the anvil will sink without any damage. Colors are not necessarily, and different colors have different meanings. There are also some flaky colored lumps, which are easily broken and called residual flowers. You can see a lot in the later video.

I am lazy about sarira's explanations and stories. You can see the following links with pictures and texts.

"Zhou Fengchen lies the body of a man."

Anyway, for two years, there is no protective measures at home, but there is no variation. Natural glaze is really unexplained by current science.

Scientists explained that this may be the stone and mineral deposits of long-term vegetarians. But this conjecture is obviously untenable, because after cremation, a small number of relics are usually found on bones, and so many relics appear after the death of Dade, indicating that the relics cannot all be mineral deposits (such as the female layman in the first video). There are many people suffering from lithiasis, and the stones are mostly scaly, ugly in color, and the hardness is even less likely to be a relic. Why don't ordinary people have clean and transparent Buddhist relics, but those who have achieved Tao will have Buddhist relics even if they practice for only one year?

There is a book that introduces many stories and anecdotes of monks related to relics from ancient times to the present-"Wonderful Dharma Relic" written by Muqiao lay man.
