    Buddhism is one of the three major religions in the world, born more than 2,500 years ago, by the ancient Indian Kapila King Gautama Siddhartha, the prince of the ancient Indian Kapila Guardian, "Buddha" means "awakening", in the Buddhist relics are cremated by the monks will appear. So, is it true that the relics will only come after the eminent monks have been cremated?

    What kind of relics are there! In the past, monks were vegetarians. When you are old, you will naturally have stones to pull! Scientific explanations.

    First of all, the first theory is that the formation of "relics" is related to the food that monks have eaten for a long time. Everyone knows that monks live on vegetarian food and never eat meat food. However, the content of fiber and minerals in vegetarian food is higher than that of meat food, and through the body's own digestive system and metabolism, these substances eventually become crystalline substances such as phosphate and carbonate.

    In addition, the monks meditate every day, lack of exercise, food is not easy to digest, food is easy to accumulate and precipitate, and finally after cremation, the "relics" we see are formed.

    However, many people disagree with this statement. After all, there are many vegetarians in this world who don't exercise regularly, and it is impossible to explain the fact that only the ashes of enlightened monks have relics in them.

    There are also people who believe that "relics" are stones in the human body. Because by analyzing the composition of "relics", it is found that it is very similar to the composition contained in human stones.

    But there are also many people who oppose this statement. The reason is that the amount of stones contained in the human body is very small, and it is impossible to form such a large "relic". Moreover, it is a very painful thing to get stones, but most of the enlightened monks who have "relics" in their bodies are healthy old people who died in peace.

    What's more, ordinary people who have the disease of stones do not appear after being cremated.

    Another theory is that it has to do with the composition of human bones. Some people believe that "relics" are actually the phenomenon of recrystallization of some human bones after burning, so we can see all kinds of strange "relics". Compared with the above two speculations, this statement is still relatively credible.

    Because some experts have studied that "relics" do contain human bones. In addition, human teeth also contain inorganic salts that can form crystals, which may be a reason for the formation of "relics".

    The fourth theory is that the "relics" are actually some sturdy and non-combustible objects worn by the monks when they were cremated. For example, many monks will use silica as a component of gemstones as a part of the wear. When silica is burned, it reacts chemically with some components in the human body, and eventually forms crystals, such as glass, ceramics, etc., which are very similar to "relics".

    Therefore, this speculation is not impossible.

    Because the legend of the relics is a Buddhist thing, the monks will produce relics after their death, because the monks are generally very kind, hoping to save the existence of the common people, and have paid all their youth and time for the common people, so they will get the relics after the death, which is also a symbol of merit.

    Because the state of mind of the monk is very good, and it belongs to the enlightened masters, there are legendary relics, but no one has seen them.

    Because monks eat vegetarian food and meditate often, it will lead to the accumulation of some stones in the body, so there are relics.

    1. Some monks will wear items during cremation, or tokens given by believers: gems, the silica in the gemstone is burned and chemically reacts with the calcium carbonate in the human bones to produce crystals similar to bone china and ceramics called relics.

    2. The Indian word of relics is called Tuodu, also called Shililuo, translated into Chinese as spiritual bones, body bones, and remains, but the formation of relics is completely different from the weathering of the bones of ordinary dead people.

    3. The shape of the relics is ever-changing, some are round, oval, some are lotus-shaped, and some are Buddha-like or Bodhisattva-like; It comes in white, black, green, red, and a variety of colors.
