    In our cognition, some eminent monks who have attained the Tao will appear relics after their death and cremation, and these relics are Buddhist holy relics and are sought after by people. However, these relics are very rare, not all monks have them after the cremation, but only a small number of enlightened monks have them after the cremation, and it is precisely because it is extremely rare that it will be respected by everyone.

    Many people confuse relics with relics, but they are not the same. This relic refers to the remains of a high monk, and this relic refers to the crystals that appear in the ashes after the cremation of a high monk. Many people are curious about why these crystals are formed, and there is a lot of speculation about them.

    Some people believe that this is because the monk's long-term vegetarianism leads to the formation of crystals in the body; Some people believe that the crystals are simply stones in the human body.

    For these two speculations, there are quite a few people who oppose them. Because they don't think that people who have been vegetarians for a long time will form crystals in their bodies. As for the theory of stones, it is even more implausible, because the monks are very long-lived, and if they have stones in their bodies, then they will be very painful and will not be able to live long.

    In addition to these 2 guesses, there is another guess. This guess is that these crystals are some gem-like ornaments that the monk wore when he was cremated. We can't test the relics, so we don't know exactly how the relics came to be.

    This relic is a precious sacred relic of Buddhism and is highly revered by people. And the reason why it is highly respected by people has a lot to do with the development of Buddhism in China.

    This Buddhism was introduced to China during the Han and Han dynasties, and these monks also brought a large number of Buddha relics with them when they went to China. China has always had the habit of sacrificing ancestors, coupled with the propaganda of Buddhist beliefs, this Buddha bone relic will naturally be considered a spiritual holy object.

    Moreover, these eminent monks are basically great Confucians who are willing to give, so they were respected during their lifetimes. In this way, they will naturally be revered after death. Therefore, people respect his wisdom and virtue during his lifetime, not his ashes after cremation.

    Original relics are the solid substances left behind by the practitioners after they have caused samadhi fires or iridescent colors, and they are sealed in the cellars of ancient monasteries. Or in a cave; Or the court, which is extremely magnetic. After the establishment of Buddhism under Emperor Ashoka in the third century BC, the bones of cremation were used as relics.

    In the first century AD, after Buddhism was established in the Shang Shang Port, the products after cremation were used as relics. After being cremated by ordinary monastic monks, it was found that the relics were a large amount of calcium oxalate and a small amount of calcium phosphate, and there was nothing mysterious about this relic that it was fully revealed by traditional science in the 40s of the 20th century, and even more comprehensively examined and solved by quantum physics in the 50s.

    In fact, "relics" are like the "sulfur steel" that we produce from burning coal. This is just my own opinion.

    In our Taoist view, after death, the yang spirit will produce a lot of heat, that is, similar to the folk, after the death of the person, the yin fire in the body will burn out the person's internal organs in order to get rid of the physical bondage. Ordinary people have a low-grade fever and a high fever, while Buddhists practice the Dharma because of their high energy, so they will appear in the form of relics.

    I don't know if you have ever been to the kind of factory that burns bricks and tiles, the unearthed mud is placed in a house similar to a drying room, the kind of house that can feel the heat but does not see the open flame is this kind of environment, and it is also placed in the human body, and it is not surprising that the glazed tiles or glazed bricks will be burned in this environment, and the relics are in the cracks of the bones, which is also in line with the stuffy environment of burning bricks and tiles. There is a scientific basis for this explanation. So I try to make it as understandable as possible.

    For example; The famous old lady of Xianghe is what our Taoists call the body of the flesh mound, of course, her realm is not known how many times higher than the relics of the Buddhist masters of the past dynasties, and then it is an immortal, so you ordinary people who do not cultivate the Tao and cannot verify it, just believe in a relic.

    Of course, the old lady Xianghe has not cultivated to become an immortal, but she is much better than the Buddhist mage who exists in the relics. All the people with corpses have not transcended reincarnation, such as the six ancestors Huineng real body is not corrupt, etc., because in the eyes of Taoism, becoming an immortal is the state of Xia Ju flying after the body is also refined, this Xia lifting and ascending, this Xia is like Caixia, Xia Guang, that is, Kung Fu practice at home, in line with the spirit of Taoism, the body is molecularized, and even leaves a fragrance in the air, like a soft light. Dissipated between heaven and earth, so the Taoist ancestors are all empty tombs, and you can't find a single corpse.

    Ordinary people with greater energy will also form relics, and those who have cultivated the Fa in the Taoist family are also relics at the lowest level. Therefore, in the eyes of Taoists, relics are useless. Yang Spirit (commonly known as: Yang God, soul) Ordinary people with great energy will also appear relics after death.

    Another point is that when the human body is finally exhausted, the human body cannot live forever. It is impossible to live forever, so even if you ascend to become an immortal, your body is moleculeized and dissipates between heaven and earth, not in material form.
