The relics are calcifications?

About the buddhist relics were calcium stone "question the author: dong is a way

On November 7, 1987, wen wei Po ", "week abstract" the Hong Kong newspapers reprinted the buddhist relics is calcium stone ", reflection is quite inconsistent with the facts, put forward several reasons for this, and the author.

The original thought: "the so-called buddhist relics, is the body of stones, especially in the kidney stones and gallstones."From the perspective of modern medicine, human body with one of the two kinds of stones, intense pain is bound to happen.Kidney stones with renal colic and hematuria;Gallstones are biliary colic or jaundice.So anyone who once suffered from one of the two kinds of stones, all can't stand the pain, will be a doctor make a diagnosis and give treatment, never adhere to death, and not to treat.

The original text, for example: "recently passed away in Hong Kong, a 79 - year - old xian mage, after cremation, found one of eight, ninety buddhist relics."If the relics is stone, and accumulate in the body and so many, it was born in the body?Not born in the kidney or the gallbladder, don't respond, but also cannot long endure pain without treatment.According to the literature, some monks cremated buddhist relics, after the death of a hundreds, even thousands of stars.If so many buddhist relics, say are stone formation, where she was born in human body?And these monks, healthy living, don't smell happened calculi symptoms, this how to explain this phenomenon?So "relics" is the stones in the human body, real hard to convince people.

The original text and said, "because monks living with sat as the main attitude, and eat the body is more plant fiber, fiber is not easy to digest, and take the sitting position for a long time, the body fiber accumulation is overmuch, long and calcification gallstones."The author thinks that, the validity and the reasons for the formation of kidney stones and gallstones are quite different.Points out that modern medicine, urinary calculi, including kidney stones, is human body metabolic disorders, or infection, urinary tract obstruction is salt deposit in the urine.As to the pathogenesis of gallstones, is because of cholestasis, biliary infection and cholesterol metabolism disorders, relative or absolute increase bile content, presents the saturation state, would be easy to precipitate crystallization, so as to gradually form a stone.Thus verifiable, says the original "plant fiber accumulation is overmuch, long and calcification gallstones" conclusion, also is not correct.I know, some monk in meditation practice, is also a vegetarian, they ate too much is plant fiber, after the death of cremation, however, are not necessarily found buddhist relics, and found that the relics, and not necessarily in meditation is given priority to, even is not necessarily a vegetarian for a long time.The formation of the relics, and take the sitting position is no connection with vegetarian for a long time.

According to Buddhism, buddhist relics are the Buddha and his disciples and youdao monks practice "ring, set, hui" hard for a long time, the result of the system by "essence, blood, and bone" condenses beads, there are red, white and other colors.But how is a buddhist relics form?It is difficult to use the scientific method to test.

Who has a large energy

The body of the founder of Buddhism sakyamuni after incineration, meat bone formed a bead, buddhist disciples called Buddha sarira, also known as the relics.Beadle fever into thing called Buddha sarira, burned it according to the tooth.These three sarira, hair and the tooth's sarira's rarest and most valuable.Unearthed more than 2000 years after the death of the Buddha, who had only known to the world.In 1898, Nepal found itself, the sensation of the world, are points for in Thailand, Sri Lanka, Burma, Japan and other countries.Placed the found in China in 1988, shaanxi famen temple Buddha finger sarira, stir the world once again.Not long ago, Taiwan buddhist famen temple Buddha phalanx sarira face to Taiwan support, very solemn, grand scenes.In 2001, hangzhou found Buddha spiral coil under both coasts sarira, stir the world again.

The ancient Indian buddhist scriptures sarira recommended to the utmost."The golden light through o give product", "who is the smoke concentration, very difficult, the most fukuda."Buddhist scriptures, the Buddha's remains cremated, andother among g8 cherished;The Indian emperor asoka era, and focused the Buddha sarira, send live southeast Asian countries and China, built forty-eight thousand stupas with divine power.China as early as in The Three Kingdoms period has started to build stupas, consecrate Buddha sarira.Jin dynasty monk faxian (335-422) had to go to India, saw asoka era built large stupas.Tang xuan zang mage travelled across India, have seen the tower, has been tilted.When he finally returned, also brought back one hundred and fifty grains of Buddha sarira flesh.

According to historical records, tang Gao Zongyi chicken two years (in 676), in the western city of luoyang, the ancient Shi Fang, three kingdoms stupa here before, after the war.Excavated ancient Shi Fang, found a Shi Han engraved with Sanskrit.Sanskrit mean, this is ashoka sent to all over the world for disseminating Buddhism buddhist relics, it will bring you infinite happiness.Open the Shi Han, sparkling there indeed as expected and hard buddhist relics, ten thousand grains.Emperor the buddhist relics into more than two hundred shares, each 49, letters, distributed to city and state of the great temple.Again on the ancient Shi Fang built a light house temple, personally inscribed temple.

Who generally refers to the incineration bones Buddha himself, but the later, the bones of monk died incineration also called sarira.In 1996 "China encyclopedia" said: "according to legend Buddha beads formed after cremation, says sarira.Later also refers to the virtue of high monk body cremated remains."Recently passed the Chinese buddhist association, wutai mountain net such as the mage, with more than 5000 various andother incineration backwardness, color is given priority to with the black, they also can be white, red, silver, blue.

Most often see sarira, grey color, there are black, red, yellow, purple, gold, transparent, colorless, and so on.White sarira is said to be for the six, black sarira for hair sarira, red sarira for meat sarira.Sarira shape of particles, like pearls, exquisite and smooth surface.Sarira big like soybean, peanut, small like mung beans, sesame seeds, the smallest for powder.Sarira hardness difference is very big, solid, a touch is broken.It is said that hardness is proportional to the level of practice, practice, the better, the greater the hardness.

The Buddhism thought, andother contains huge energy, people with higher levels of practice can feel its energy.This energy can regulate human body health, happy to hasten to ward off evil spirits.There are some people who worship sarira, think it can grow sarira.Small sarira can grow into big sarira, who can also produce small sarira.Allegedly, the modern buddhist master light after the death of incineration, smoke as white as snow, and is now five colours.From his ashes in the jian arrive five-color sarira hundreds, some glittering.When a wuxi lay Yuan De, often picked out some buddhist relics of cuttings to home.Before long, these cuttings grew up and became a buddhist relics, then sarira and gives birth to the many small sarira.

The Buddhism thought, the buddhist relics have spiritual, presently phase, often put light.1988 buddhist relics have been found in the shaanxi famen temple, someone filmed the photo to prove it.Scientific thought, who had not mysterious, calcifications are vegetarians.The China encyclopedia dictionary: "many people believe that because of monks lifelong vegetarian, absorb a large amount of calcium food, and long-term practice, some chemical changes have taken place in the body, so after cremation, leaving some calcifications."The explanation for the scientific community, clergy people ask, why not buddhist practice cremation after the death of vegetarian, never see the relics?
