Are the so called relics that change color several times a day real?

Is it true that relics change color several times a day? The earliest concept of the term relic may have been when I watched Journey to the West, but it was all mythologized and dramatized.

Many people only know about relics but don't know what relics are, so what are relics, and are relics relics? In fact, the two are not the same. In Buddhism, the general term for the body of a monk after death is relics; After cremation, the crystals produced by hair, bones, ashes, etc., are called relics.

The fundamental cause of the formation of the crystallized relics of the relics is still inconclusive, let alone the problem of the relics changing color several times a day. The significance of relics to Buddhism is self-evident, according to legend, relics are monks who naturally felt because of the merits of precept and wisdom; There is also a legend that the formation of relics is related to the chemical reaction that occurs when bones and other objects are cremated together. There are so many legends that we can't tell if they're true or not.

Regardless of whether Buddhism is Buddhist or not, the mere fact that relics are obtained after the cremation of the human body is worthy of our respect. There are so many things in the world that we can't explain with science, but I think it's important to have respect. I don't know if there really is such a thing as a soul in this world, but the fact that relics are crystallized after cremation after death should not be commented on by anyone or from an objective point of view.

The importance of relics to Buddhism is self-evident. Everyone will have their own beliefs in their hearts to some extent, and when they are judging something, they should think more before making judgments, or they still feel that they should have a sense of reverence for everything.

Although those who do not know are fearless, I think that those who do not know should be fearful. RightI can't judge the question of how many times a day the relics change color, and we should all have some respect for the unknown.

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 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.

The types of relics are generally divided into whole-body relics and broken body relics. The whole body relics do not need to be cremated, and the whole body will not decay, this is called the whole body relics, also called the physical bodhisattva; The broken body relics are the bones after cremation. But there are also some relics that are not transformed by the human body, such as running out of heaven or earth, or from oil lamps, or from flowers, and there are also some relics that are sincerely offered and prayed, and the relics are reborn from the relics.

In the "Bathing Buddha Merit Sutra", the relics are divided into: 1. Birth relics, also known as body bone relics, are the bones of the Buddha; Second, it is the Dharma body relics, also known as the Dharma Song relics, which refer to the teachings and precepts left by the Buddha.

Some relics are so hard that they sink when struck with an iron hammer without any damage. It is not a perennial fasting monk who will have, only a year of refuge in the household, why do relics have a variety of colors Quality recommendation.

Sheli is a Sanskrit word, also called Sheliro, translated into Chinese as spiritual bones, body bones, and remains. It is the crystalline body left by cremation after the death of a monk who has attained the Tao. 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 like crystals; Some are transparent, some are bright, like diamonds.

The white relics are the relics of the bones, the black relics are the relics of the hair, the red relics are the relics of flesh and blood, and there are also green or five-color relics, which are the relics of the combination of bones, hair and blood. The specific color of the relics that can be produced has a lot to do with the Dharma and diet practiced by the monks themselves.

The color of the relics is related to the part where the relics are produced and the level of practice.

Buddha relics, black for hair relics, red for blood relics, white for bone relics, brain relics and blood relics will have a variety of colors.

The color of the relics is also related to the level of practice. Solid-colored relics and golden relics are generally practiced at a higher level.

The relics are utter deception!

Some Buddhists claim that the relics of the Buddha are full of colors and are originally mythical, according to archaeology, and are just the ashes of ordinary dead people. As for the crazy words on the Internet, what relics will increase year by year, relics will shine and other rumors are all rumors and forgeries made by monks, if it is so magical, the country has already begun to study it, but I just don't want to debunk it. In the past, the Confucian sage Han Yu directly scolded the bones of these dead corpses as "fierce and dry bones", believing that it would bring bad luck if the living kept it!

It is best to "throw it into the fire and water, and never be fundamental!" ”

2. Historical research on the "relics" of the Buddha

In 1898, when French scientists were archaeological in the southern border of Nepal, they found a large stone cabinet, which contained two stone pots and several other objects, one of which contained a number of spherical ashes, according to the ancient characters recorded in the pot, it turned out that these ashes were part of the ashes of the Buddhist leader Shakyamuni who died in India around 486 BC. And these ashes are no different from ordinary people, and they are very fragile! According to Buddhist legend, his ashes were divided into eight parts and worshipped by eight large and small countries in India.
