    The relics are a kind of stone-like thing left by the monks after cremation, and some people say that it is related to the monk's eating habits, so it will only appear after deathOur country has always believed in Buddhism, and we also respect monks who have cultivated very well, especially the relics left behind after their death and cremation are worshiped as sacred objects, because this kind of thing will only appear after the monk's death. According to Buddhism, relics only appear in the best monks, and not all monks produce relics.

    The color of the relics is colorful, like crystal stones, and it will also be classified by colorFor example, amber is left behind by the brain, black is left by hair, red is left by muscle, and white is left by bones. However, there is a strange phenomenon, that is, relics are generally only produced in the body of monks, so Buddhism believes that this is because the monks really achieved the cultivation that monks should have when they were alive.

    As for why relics only appear on monks' bodies, in fact, science has given us the answer, it is just a stone in the body. With the answer given by science, people speculate that the reason why monks produce relics is because the monk's long-term diet is mainly vegetarian, especially the green vegetables contain oxalic acid, it is precisely because of this oxalic acid that it is easy to cause the formation of stones in the body, and we all know that now as long as we suffer from stones, doctors will remind us not to eat starch-heavy things, and the starch of tofu is very heavy, since monks can't eat meat, they must eat vegetarian dishes, and tofu and vegetables are the most eaten in vegetarian dishes. Therefore, it is also normal to produce stones.

    Although many people understand that this is the truth, but many people still believe in it, after all, there is more than one scientific explanation now, and the saying is also different, and the relics have been very sacred since ancient times, and they are also very precious, so in ancient times, there were relics pagodas in many placesFor Buddhism, the relics are a sacred and auspicious object, and there are many Buddhist cultures that have been bred from the relics, so this also makes the relics more and more sacred.

    From a scientific point of view, the formation of relics is due to a variety of factors, such as dietary habits, stones in the body, bone remnants or belongings.

    The products left behind by the attained monks are called relics, and in Buddhism, it is believed that this is the crystallization of the monk's cultivation and wisdom. The more scientific explanation is that the monks have been vegetarian for a long time, and their bodies contain a large amount of mineral elements, which react with human bones during cremation and produce crystals.

    Buddhism's interpretation of Sharia is somewhat subjective. According to scientific theories, the actual existence of Sharia cannot be obtained through practice. So how did Sharia law come about?

    Scientists have also been arguing for a long time. They cannot have a clear explanation for this phenomenon. After all, what we find in modern science in the world is only the tip of the iceberg.

    All kinds of reasoning are based on existing scientific principles.

    Scientists also explained that the color of the relics is determined by the humidity in the body and the amount of chemical components they contain. As for why the chance of relics of Buddhist disciples is so large, scientists believe that this is mainly related to the diet of Buddhist disciples, they are not only vegetarian all year round, but also pure heart and few desires, and their mood rarely fluctuates, so the mineral salts ingested when they are vegetarian will precipitate and become relics after high temperatures.

    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.

    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.

    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. The main components of gallstones in human stones 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).

    Calcium and a small amount of metal salts, which are the main components of stones, precipitate, turn into powdery oxides at high temperatures.

    4。Belongings.

    The shapes and colors of the relics vary from pearl to agate and crystal, transparent and radiant to diamonds, not a natural occurrence. Among the items cremated by the monks are many precious stones, and the main ingredient of gemstones is silica. Under the high temperature conditions of the cremator, the 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.

    5. Temperature control.

    In ancient times, firewood was used as fuel, and the traditional cremation ovens used in Southeast Asian countries can produce a large number of relics. Professionals have analyzed the difference between the incineration effect of pit cremation machines and stove cremators, and also pointed out that there are ore slags. In recent years, the great monks who left the relics were incinerated in a program-controlled crematorium in a modern funeral parlor.

    Therefore, the formation of relics is believed to be related to the temperature control of cremation.

    The word relics first appeared in Buddhism, this word is imported according to Indian Sanskrit, he refers to people after death, the body will be cremated after the relics will be left, and the relics can only be burned out by the monks, as for how he was formed, it is still a mystery, no science can be solved.

    Buddhism originated in India, where they believed in Shakyamuni, and India has maintained the traditional funeral model of cremation since the beginning. In China, it has always been said that it is to settle in the ground. The emergence of Buddhist relics first appeared in India, Buddhism through the promotion of relics and human Buddha nature related, ordinary people after cremation is not relics, only those highly respected monks, such relics will appear.

    The relics and relics will be enshrined in this Buddhist pagoda temple, a special place for storage, we call it a pagoda, which is the ** of the Chinese Buddhist relics pagoda.

    According to historical records, the shape of the relics can be said to be colorful, with red, black, blue, white, and other colors. Buddhists and scientists have been arguing with many theories, and some believe that it is the essence of their bodies that gives rise to relics.

    There is also a theory that because they have been vegetarian for a long time, they have consumed a lot of vitamins and minerals, so they have continuously accumulated in their bodies to produce that kind of relics.

    The third theory is that they meditate for a long time, so the bones of their bodies are very stiff, and in this case, they will produce unique relics.

    But more people believe that it is because these monks have been vegetarian for a long time, which has caused serious stones in the body, and their bones have undergone chemical changes, resulting in the coexistence of multiple minerals in the body.

    From a medical point of view, the stones in the human organs are mainly calcium and metal salt precipitation, and the remaining bone material of the stone patient after cremation will contain the presence of crystals, so it is guessed that there may be stones in the body of the monk, and the relics are formed after cremation.

    Scientifically, that doesn't happen. Because as long as a human dies, if it is cremated, all that can be left is the ashes, and nothing else will remain.
