What is spiritual bone (Buddhism)

The so-called relic is the crystallization of personal practice. Originally, the relic was called the relic, and later it was called (relic). The relic was originally translated into various names in Hindi, meaning that the relic (relic) or (spiritual bone) was not completely obtained by cremation.

The formation of Buddhist relics has nothing to do with doing good, but mainly related to living habits, but it is very important that you will live longer by doing good. If you use a certain food for a long time, some of its elements will be deposited in your body. When you are cremated, they will form various crystals when heated.

In Hindi, the relic is called Todo, also called Sherilo, which is translated into spiritual bone, body bone and body in Chinese. It's a crystal left by a person after cremation. But the relics are completely different from the bones of ordinary dead people. Its shapes are ever-changing, including round, oval, lotus, Buddha or bodhisattva; Its colors are white, black, green and red, and there are also various colors; Some relics are like pearls, while others are like agates and crystals. Some are transparent, others are bright, just like diamonds.

White relics are bones, black relics are hair, red relics are muscles, and there are also green or five-color relics.

According to the scripture, the relic is obtained by a person through practicing discipline, determination and wisdom, plus his own great will. It is very rare and precious. For example, after the Buddha's nirvana, as many as one stone and six buckets of relics were burned. At that time, eight kings competed for the Buddha relic, and each got a share. They brought the relics of the Buddha back to their own country and built pagodas for people to watch and worship. In addition, accomplished monks and believers at home can also get Buddhist relics after death. For example, Huineng, the sixth ancestor of China, and modern masters Hong Yi, Yin Guang, Taixu and Zhang Jia 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 relic does not need to be cremated, but it will not rot. This is called the whole body relic, also known as the body bodhisattva; Broken relics are cremated remains. However, there are also some Buddhist relics that do not change from the human body, such as running out of the sky or underground, or being born from oil lamps or flowers, and there is also a kind of Buddhist relics that are sincerely worshipped and reborn from Buddhist relics. In the merit of bathing Buddha, the relic is divided into: 1. Living Buddha relics, also known as body and bone relics, are the remains of the Buddha; The second is the relic of the instrument, also known as the relic of the instrument, which refers to the teaching methods and commandments left by the Buddha.

Sari [Van Sal and Ra; Buddhist relics are also called "Buddhist relics". It means corpse or bone. Buddhism says that Sakyamuni's remains are beads formed after burning. Later, it also refers to the remains of monks cremated.

The phenomena of this relic show that it can't be a stone. The main component of stones is calcium or metal salt deposition, which is similar in shape to scales and fragile. These things will become powdery oxides at high temperatures. There are tens of millions of people suffering from lithiasis, but only practitioners have Buddhist relics. Dade's tongue, heart and other soft tissues without bones can also be cremated to form relics. Even the tongue of a parrot can become a relic. What's more, the number of stones in the body is very small, otherwise it will endanger life, but sometimes the number of relics is extremely amazing, with different colors and shapes.

Some relics are extremely hard. When you hit them with a hammer, the anvil sinks without any damage. It is not only for monks who are vegetarian all the year round, but also for laymen who died after a year of conversion. After burning, relics also appeared on the ruins.

Of course, some so-called "relics" are really bones and teeth that have not been completely burned, but it is impossible for stones to become "relics" after being burned. Some people interpret the remains as stones in the name of science, but in fact, this deception to the public, these so-called sciences are actually "pseudoscience."

Some relics are extremely hard. When you hit them with a hammer, the anvil sinks without any damage. Some relics will grow up, give birth to small relics, and so on. Can these be speculated by modern science?
