What color relics are good? Why are the relics of Buddhist monks colorful?

Okay? Of course, it's that kind of brown red, her value is very high, anyway, I especially like that kind of brown red, his color is very good-looking, and it feels very high-grade.

What do the colors of the relics represent?

The white relics represent the bones; The black relics represent the hair; The red relics represent the muscles. The hard crystals formed after cremation are relics, and relics can be called relics, but relics cannot be called relics.

The relics are the best in white. According to legend, the relics are beads formed after the cremation of the body of Shakyamuni Buddha, and later also refer to the bones of Buddha and monks. Relics can be divided into bone relics, hair relics and meat relics, and it is usually said that they all belong to bone relics.

Buddhism believes that relics are refined by spiritual merits, and they are mostly made of hard beads and dazzling colors.

This relic is completely different from the bones of ordinary dead people. Its shape is ever-changing, there are lotus-shaped, round, oval, and some Buddha-like bodhisattvas; There are also various colors such as black, white, red, and green; Some of the relics are like pearls, and some are like agate and crystal; Some are transparent, others are as radiant as diamonds.

Generally, the relics of bones are white, the relics of hair are black, the relics of muscles are red, and there are other relics of various colors. The relics of Shakyamuni Buddha are particularly numerous, various colors, there are as many as "eight huts and four buckets", which are placed in ten relics stupas for worship.

A large reason for the formation of relics is that the monks eat vegetarian diets all their lives and do not dye women, so that a certain substance will be formed in the body, and with the precipitation of time, after the final death, after cremation, the relics are left. In a sense, this is also a manifestation of the monks' refrain from causing dust, and it is also an affirmation of the Buddhist precepts.

Relic? The relics should essentially be ashes, right, and you should also supplement calcium in the soup.

1. Eating habits. It is believed that the formation of relics is due to the long-term vegetarian diet of monks, who ingest a large amount of fiber and minerals, and after the metabolism of the human body, it is easy to form a large amount of phosphate and carbonate, and finally deposited in the body in the form of crystals. The objection is that there are countless vegetarians in the world, but there are no relics.

2.Remnants of human bones. Human bones may recrystallize in various shapes when cauterized.

The human body has many small bones (such as phalanges, phalanges, or tiny bones in the ear canal), and a small number of bones are recrystallized after burning to produce crystalline appearance of "relics". The possibility exists.

According to a Buddhist ** information in Taiwan: In 1998, they cooperated with the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Taiwan to analyze the relics of a high monk and found that they were mainly composed of human bones. And other scientific studies have also proved the bone theory.

In addition, teeth are also burial goods carried by the deceased. The composition of teeth also includes many inorganic salts, among which the cementum part is similar to the composition of bones, so some people speculate that teeth are relics**.

3.Human stones. Some people interpret relics as stones.

Among human stones, the main components of gallstones are macromolecular organic matter (cholesterol, bilirubin) and a small amount of calcium carbonate; The main components of kidney stones and bladder stones are calcium salts (calcium oxalate, calcium phosphate) and other mineral salts, uric acid, etc.

Among other things, the latter has similarities with the inorganic components of bones (inorganic salts containing calcium and phosphate). However, the precipitation of calcareous and small amounts of metal salts, which are the main components of stones, will turn into powdery oxides at high temperatures; Secondly, the opposing view is that the number of stones in the human body is very small and can cause unbearable severe colic, and it is impossible for patients to endure the pain for a long time without delaying medical treatment; In addition, many patients with stone disease are cremated after death, and none of them have crystals, and almost all of the monks who have come out of the relics are healthy, peaceful and long-lived old people during their lifetimes.

The transliterated word is "Shililuo", which is translated into Chinese as spiritual bone and body bone, which is the 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, and some are like agate and crystal; Some are transparent, some are bright, like diamonds.

Moreover, eminent monks and lay believers who have attained spiritual attainment can also receive relics after their deaths, such as the six ancestors of Zen Buddhism in China, Huineng, and Hong, in modern times.

1. Yinguang, Taixu, Zhang Jia and other masters, they all left a considerable number of relics.

Color refers to what the eye can see. In Buddhism, there are six roots and six dusts, the six roots are "eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body and mind", and the six dusts are "color, sound, fragrance, and touch", and the six roots correspond to the six dusts.

Phase refers to the image of an object, such as a computer's phase, desktop type, notebook type, etc., which is more subdivided, and these are the shapes. In Buddhism, it is said that "body, phase, use", the body is the essence, the phase is the form, and the use is its function, such as an ordinary glass cup, his body is glass, his phase is a hollow cylindrical object, and his use is to hold water.

Emptiness in Buddhism does not mean nothing, if it does not have the meaning of nothing, then it is wrong, because there is emptiness and there is existence, emptiness and existence are opposites, this is called "two", and Buddhism is called "non-dual dharma", that is to say, this emptiness is not the emptiness of "emptiness", but the emptiness that does not even have the concept of "emptiness", this problem is difficult to explain, if there is no real and correct experience of the realm, it is difficult to say, just like the "Tao Te Ching" said "Tao can be the way, very Tao". What I am explaining here is only a reluctant verbal explanation, not the true "emptiness" that the Buddhists talk about.

Reason: According to the records of the "Fayuan Zhulin", the bone relics are white; The relics are black; The meat relics are red. In the relics, there are indeed three different colors and different phases of white, black, and red, but there are more than these three colors, for example, the tooth relics of Shakyamuni Buddha in the Lingguang Temple are brown.

So the color of the relics varies.

The relics of the Buddha are the signs of enlightenment of the saints, the crystallization of great wisdom, and cannot be fathomed by ordinary people. There is a legend of the Buddha relics of Ningbo Ashoka Temple, saying that the tower of this temple is one of the 84,000 towers that Ashoka built in that year, Huida Zen Master settled in the local area, the meditation is very deep, and the Ashoka Pagoda gushes out from the ground, so it is the beginning of building the temple. Since then, the relics in the tower have become the target of pilgrimage for Buddhists, and there is an endless stream every day, some people look at it like mung bean bridge, some people look at it like blood and tears, some people look at it like crystal.

The granular bones that remain after cremation are called relics.

Because the relics are Hindi, translated into Chinese means "bones, body, remains", and it is also the general name of the body of Indians after death, and because the Buddha relics resemble rice grains, they are named relics. Originally, the relics were only borrowed pronouns, and they were named entirely from their shapes. In India, it is customary to use cremation to cremate the body after death, and the ashes (relics) after cremation are hidden in metal, stone, and ceramic containers and buried in the ground.

The crystals of relics are called relics, and the reason for their formation is currently inconclusive in experimental research. According to the Buddhist scriptures, the relics are naturally felt by the monks before their lives because of the merits of the precepts and wisdom; Most theories suggest that the formation of relics is related to the chemical reaction that occurs when bones and other objects are cremated together.

The shape of the relics

The shapes of the relics are varied, and the colors are also different; Some of the relics are like pearls, some are like agate and crystal; Some are transparent, while others shine like diamonds, and this form is not a natural accompaniment. When the monks are cremated, some of them will wear their belongings before their deaths, and there are also some offerings of believers, and there are many precious gems in these items that accompany the cremation of monks, and the main component of gemstones is silica. These things will go into the cremation furnace along with the remains of the monks.

Under the high temperature of the crematorium, these silica will be dissolved and chemically react with the calcium carbonate in the human bones to produce items similar to bone china, glass, ceramics and the like.
