Buddhists say that Buddhist relics are made by practicing merits and virtues, mostly hard beads and colorful.

According to the biography of Ashoka, Ashoka collected the relics left by Sakyamuni Buddha and built 84,000 pagodas as a support. Later generations of Buddhism in China often take this as the origin in the narration of Buddha relic and Ashoka Tower.
