I heard that a bodhisattva will turn into a relic when he dies, is it true?

Bodhisattvas do not die, and the relics are cremated ashes.

The relics are not the Bodhisattva's changes, but the bones of the Bodhisattva that were not cremated after death.

In fact, to put it bluntly, the relics are the bones of Buddhist monks, which are collected as treasures by later generations.

Why are there relics after the death of the monk? Why can't science give answers?

The so-called scientific explanations are not credible. Scientists say that relics are stones, which is a joke. After Shakyamuni Buddha Nirvana, the relics burned out of the cremation were as many as eight and four buckets, according to the unit of measurement in the Zhou Dynasty, one bucket was ten buckets, and eight buckets were eighty buckets.

And one bucket is about 30 catties, then four buckets are 120 catties, eight buckets are 2400 catties, and eight buckets are 2520 catties. If the relics are stones, then Shakyamuni Buddha has 2,520 pounds of stones?

You should believe the internal Buddhist saying that relics are condensed by diligent practice of precepts and wisdom. It's incredible.

Since relics are considered sacred, their composition is rarely identified. There is no definite conclusion on its composition. Regarding the formation of relics, it is well known that relics are produced by cremation of human corpses at high temperatures.

As for the specific principle of its origin, there is no convincing scientific explanation at present. Amitabha!

Remains of the bones of a high monk In the crematorium, there are corpses in which the bones will be as white as jade after burning.

Science can't explain it yet. Some say it's a stone or something, which is obviously unreliable. After the cremation of the monks, there are many relics that reach the level of the dodge. How can there be so many stones in a person's body?

In addition, relics do not have to be available to Buddhist monks. It is generally believed that people who have reached a considerable level of personal cultivation may be cremated and are not limited to Buddhism.

Heart Sutra Cloud: The relics are the empty phase of all laws. The relics of the high monks should be the result of cultivation. There are many practices in Buddhism that science cannot explain. Good luck.

If I had to explain that it could be said to be a stone, I would insist that it was a symbol of the Dharma.

Dharma Study.

Click on my name, and then click on the space, there is a link to the Sanhui Zen room on it, and there is one. Amitabha!

It's probably similar to the principle of bezoar.

The so-called relics are the crystallization of personal spiritual achievements, and the relics were originally called relics, and later they were called relics. The relics were originally translated from the Indian language as (Setira)...and other different names, which have the meaning of "relics" or "spirit bones".

Relics are not entirely obtained through cremation.

The formation of relics has nothing to do with doing good deeds, it is mainly related to lifestyle habits, but it is very important that you live a long life if you do good deeds. When a certain food is used for a long time, some elements in it are deposited in the body, and various crystals are formed when it is heated during cremation.

The relics are called Bundu in Hindu, also called Shililuo, and translated into Chinese as Lingbone, Body Bone, and Body. It is a crystalline body left behind by a person's death and cremation. However, relics are completely different from the bones of ordinary dead people.

Its shape is ever-changing, some are round, oval, some are lotus-shaped, and some are Buddha-like or bodhisattva-shaped; Its colors are white, black, green, red, and there are also various colors; Some of the relics are like pearls, some like agate, and some are like crystals; Some are transparent, some are bright, like diamonds.

The white relics are skeletal, the black relics belong to the hair, the red relics are muscle, and there are also green or five-colored relics.

The scriptures say that relics are obtained by a person through the practice of precepts, concentration, and wisdom, as well as his own great wishes, and they are very rare and precious. Like the Buddha Nirvana, the relics burned out of as many as one stone and six buckets, at that time there were eight kings competing for the Buddha's relics, each got a share of the relics, they brought the Buddha's relics back to their own country, and built pagodas, so that the people can admire, worship. In addition, eminent monks and lay believers who have attained spiritual attainment can also receive relics after their deaths.

Such as China's six ancestors Huineng, modern Hong.

1. Yinguang, Taixu, Zhang Jia and other masters, they all left a considerable number of relics. Cremation of the body is not only a burning process, but also a smelting process. What components of the body are the above-mentioned beaded relics forged?

We ordinary people, can some people also produce some relics when they are cremated after death? Some people have analyzed that the reason why some practitioners in the Buddhist world are able to produce 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, the content of various parts of the human body is very large, and after the cremation of the Yuan, it will "refine" the relics.

Whether this is true or not needs to be further studied

The relics are vegetarian stones, and ordinary people eat miscellaneous ones, so there are no monks, and only the relics are available.

You're having some! The sixth ancestor Hui Neng sat in Nanhua Temple in Shaoguan, Guangdong, and was not cremated at all, where did the relics come from?

It can't be.

That's just a myth.

The scientific composition of relics: The Institute of Chemistry of Taiwan's "Chinese Academy of Sciences" has done a study that is not public, and has taken out a small number of relics left by a certain monk, and has studied them carefully, hoping to interpret the Buddhist belief through its chemical elements and scientific methods. After careful research, it was found that the relics contained a large amount of calcium salts.

In other words, the composition of relics is basically the same as that of human bones, but the density is higher, and the reason for this is that it is caused by the recrystallization of the bones during cremation.

The Golden Light Sutra says: ".The relics are the place of precept and wisdom, which is very difficult to obtain, and the most blessed field."

Hello, I have found you many theories about the reasons for the formation of relics, the first of which is eating habits. The monks have been vegetarians for a long time, so they have ingested a large amount of minerals and tanduan cellulose, which are eventually deposited in the body in the form of crystals. Then there is the daily meditation of the monks, the lack of exercise, the food is not easy to digest, the food is easy to accumulate and precipitate, and finally after cremation, it forms the "relics" we see.

The above information is later than Zhihu.
