Relics are things that ? show up in the cremated remains of teachers from the Buddhist tradition. They are handed down to entrusted people who have donated some for a 500 ft bronze statue in India which is built to last 1000 years, where they will be housed to benefit others.
Its a rare sacred treat to be able to see them, (if you like that kind of thing) ..so ? if you are in London for the next three days, you can see the Heart Shrine Relic Tour at the Jamyang Buddhist Centre,The Old Courthouse, 43 Renfrew Road, London SE11 4NA tel: +44 (0) 20 7820 8787 fax: +44 (0) 20 7820 8605 email:admin@jamyang.co.uk
And f you live in the states, (or anywhere across the world really) the Heart Shrine Relic Tour will travel across the US, so check the Tour calender to see if it is passing near you :)
And regardless of all that :) Have a ! fabulous weekend :) Weather is soo nice today. Crisp and dazzlingly sunny. Gorgeous.

We have many Buddhist relics here in Thailand. The most interesting are the Buddhist footprints which are in different parts of the country. These do sort of look like footprints but it is hard to imagine the Buddha coming from Nirvana to make them. I suppose they are useful if it encourages people to think of the teachings.
That's so cool! I'll have to see if it comes anywhere near me in the states. You have a good weekend too!
Wishing you well,

Interesting. I didn't realize that these were kept and maintained. Thanks for the information.
I have seen films regarding the funeral pyres and relics found in the ashes. I hope to get a chance to visit this exhibit but I don't see it coming to the west coast of US.
Thanks for sharing the link, but unfortunately it seems to be offline... Does anybody have a mirror or another source? Please answer to my post if you do!
I would appreciate if a staff member here at anon-recovery-archive.blogspot.com could post it.
Thanks,
Alex
