Resentment - An unexplored mystery

They are crystal beads with enough colors, glitter like pearls, solid like diamonds, hammering and not breaking, burning fire does not burn. They were found in the ashes after cremating the remains of a certain monk. So far, when human science and technology has developed at a high level, they still exist as an unexplored mystery.

Jade relics of the high rise - the mystery has no solution

Treasures of Buddha's house

Shallow (relics) are Sanskrit phonetic words: sarira - literally 'hard seeds' . As recorded in Buddhist history, when Sakyamuni Buddha passed away, followers took his body to cremation. After the fire broke out, they found that in the remaining ash there were many transparent crystals, different shapes and sizes, hard as steel, sparkling and radiating colorful rays, like those jewel They counted all 84,000 tablets, filled in 8 boxes and 4 matches. It is named as a relic , considered a rare precious treasure of Buddhism.

The existence of jade relics (relics) is still a mysterious phenomenon

In recent years, the history of Buddhism as well as the research of scientists has recorded quite a number of cases of high monks after passing away, cremating and leaving relics , such as:

In December 1990, a rising monk, Hoai Huyen Dharma in Singapore passed away, after the body was cremated, it was discovered that in his ash there were 480 hard, large seeds like soybean seeds. Small seeds are about the size of a grain of rice, look almost transparent and shine like sparkling diamonds. After the analysis, the researchers determined that it was the so-called relics.

In March 1991, the Vice-President of the Five Wanshan Buddhist Association - the Standing Member of the Chinese Buddhist Association, after being passed away, was performed a cremation rite according to his wishes, in the remaining ash. discovered up to 11,000 seeds of relics , reached a world record so far about cases of relics recorded officially.

The leper may be as big as a duck egg, which is the case of the Sorcerer Magician, the leader of Xishan Tsinghua Am in Queping District, Guangxi Province, China. On September 27, 1989, he was 93 years old. After cremation, people found in the ashes of the 3 pillars of green and transparent, the diameter of each tablet was up to 3-4cm, like emeralds.

There are some cases, relics are a part of the body that is not burned. In June 1994, 93-year-old Dharma Master Yu Chuan, presiding over the Fahua Temple, in Guan Yin Mountain, Shaanxi Province, China, in a evening lecture told the disciples: I will leave my heart for sentient beings. Then this monk sat in the lotus position and supernaturally passed away.

According to the rules of the temple, the disciples put her body on a green stone, put firewood around and proceeded to fire. The fire burns brightly for one night and a night. In the cold ashes, the disciples collected 100 different small shrines. Some members have a round shape (amnesty), some have spread out like flowers (flowers). The flowers are very beautiful flowers, glistening like snowflakes, and surrounded by small seeds of rice seeds with the size of rice, red, yellow, blue, brown . very magical. But the most amazing thing is that her heart never burned.After the fire turned off the heart was still soft, hot, then cooled down and hardened, turning into a large, dark brown lump . About 100 disciples were present at the cremation ceremony to witness the strange phenomenon with their own eyes. According to the story, Dharma Master Yu Chuan was compassionate, calm and peaceful, often only eating very little. Phap Hoa Pagoda gave people to bring those relics to Shaanxi Province Buddhist Association.

In Vietnam , official history books also recorded many cases of occurrence of seeds of fire when cremated the monks . Dai Viet Using the whole name, Ly Thai Tong said: In April 1034, King Ly Thai Tong had two monks, Nghiem Bao Tinh and Pham Minh Tam passed away. When the cremation of the body of the two people found in the ashes with the seeds of relics. The king came down and brought these seeds to worship at the Truong Thanh pagoda.

In the Tran Anh Tong period, it was also recorded when Tran Nhan Tong passed away, his disciple was French. His cremation body collected 3,000 seeds of relics. Phap Loa brought the temple to Tu Phuc pagoda in the monk's house. King Tran Anh Tong had a suspicious idea when suddenly, Prince Manh saw some seeds in front of him and showed them to everyone. When checking the seeds in the box, there are a few seeds missing. The king felt so moved to cry. From that point, the idea of ​​suspicion was ignored. It is also this story, but in his dream, Nam Nguyen wrote that some of the seeds were flying into the sleeve of Prince Thai.

Science bundle?

Several decades ago, the scientific world began to find ways to explain the mysterious phenomena mentioned by the Buddha in the scriptures as they have studied the phenomena in nature, the universe and people. However, when they began to study the phenomenon of relics, they encountered many difficulties and obstacles.

In the past, people did not believe that there was a Buddha's relics. Until 1997, Mr. WC Peppé , the French, when conducting archeology in the area of ​​Piprava, south of Népal, found lentils in a stone box. The Brahmi script is engraved on the box, and its contents are read as follows: 'This is the relics of the Buddha. This relics are worshiped by the Sakya tribe, the Savatthi nation (according to the Buddha's dictionary). This discovery proves what is recorded in the A-School and is scattered in other Buddhist texts on the division of the Buddha's relics into eight parts for the eight ancient nations when Buddha entered Nirvana. it's real. The strange thing is that over the past 25 centuries, the Buddha's relics are still intact, sparkling colors.

The mysterious phenomenon of relics is still unanswered

Regarding the formation of shrines, there are still many different interpretations so far. Sociologists believe that, due to the habit of vegetarianism, regular use of a large amount of fiber and minerals, in the process of digestion and absorption, it is easy to create phosphate and carbonate salts, crystals That salt accumulates in parts of the body and eventually turns into relics. However, this hypothesis is not convincing. Because the number of vegetarians in the world has hundreds of ten thousand, but why is it not everyone who is cremated when he is cremated. The number of people in Buddhism is also numerous, but why are there no ordinary relics in the bodies of ordinary believers?

Scientists believe that it is possible to be relieved as a kind of pathological phenomenon, similar to kidney stones, bladder stones, gallstones . this hypothesis is also difficult to stand. Because, after putting the body on fire, in the ashes of those suffering from the diseases mentioned above, there was no detectable relics. On the other hand, those with higher levels are usually those who are very healthy at the time of life and have a very high life expectancy.

The Buddha also has his own views on the issue of relics. The first view is that relics are the result of spiritual practice and hardship . The second point of view is that relics are the result of cultivating virtue , only in those who have great compassion from compassion, always do good deeds, after being passed away can they become lepers.

However, in the end, how was the relic been formed? What is its composition? Not metal, not metal, nor diamonds, hexagons, just the remains of a monk after cremation, but why it doesn't burn even if it's burned color, challenge with time, no damage . A series of questions so far are still puzzles without answers!
