Question 2: What is the Buddha's tooth relic? The Buddha's tooth relic is also a kind of Buddha's bone relic. It originally refers to the remains and beaded gem products left by the founder of Buddhism, Sakyamuni, after his death, so it is also called Buddha bone and Buddha relic. Later, it also refers to the bones left by the burning of monks after death. The relics are round, oval and lotus in shape, with different colors, such as white, black, green and red.

The relic is acquired by a person through cultivation, determination and wisdom, plus his great will. It is very rare and precious. Because sacred objects are considered sacred,
Question 3: What is a Buddha's tooth? It is the tooth of Sakyamuni, the founder of Buddhism. According to Buddhist historical records, Sakyamuni was cremated after his death, and his whole body became a fine relic. In recent years, two white relics found in Lei Yin Cave, Shijingshan, Beijing, were confirmed as the remains of Sakyamuni by textual research. Not long ago, Sakyamuni Buddha was discovered in Famen Temple in Fufeng County, Shaanxi Province. These two discoveries are of great significance in the history of Buddhism in China and the world, and have attracted the attention of Chinese and foreign academic circles.
Question 4: What exactly is a Buddha tooth?
In the Sakyamuni Tower of the Buddha Palace Temple in Yingxian County, Shanxi Province, there are two Buddhist tooth relics, which are revered by the world Buddhist community. They were placed in two silver profile statues dedicated to the seven treasures, which were confirmed to be the remains of Buddha's teeth by textual research.
In 486, Sakyamuni was born in Nirvana at the age of 80. After the extinction of the Buddha, * * * left seven Buddhist tooth relics.
Nowadays, the Buddhist community has different views on how many Buddha teeth Sakyamuni left after drinking tea. One said that the Buddha left four teeth after dying, and the other said that the Buddha left seven teeth after dying.
How many teeth did the Buddha leave after his death? And what is the basis of the debate between the parties?
Anyone who has studied Buddhist scriptures knows that the records of Buddha's teeth come from the Great Nirvana Sutra. * * * There are three versions of Mahayana Sutra. The first version is the Mahayana Sutra (three volumes) translated by Fa Xian in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. The second edition of * * * has three translations: the first translation is Mahayana Sutra (40 volumes) translated by Tan Shi, the second translation is Mahayana Sutra (36 volumes) added by Saman Yan Hui and others in the Song Dynasty, and the third translation is Buddha's Great Clay Tablet Sutra (6 volumes) translated by Saman Pingyang in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. The third edition is the Mahayana Sutra (later divided into volumes) translated by Samana Jonabadra of Boling State in the South China Sea of the Tang Dynasty.
The above three versions are all called Mahayana Sutra, and they are all classics that record how Sakyamuni achieved nirvana. The first two versions did not mention that the Buddha's teeth were left after the Buddha died. Only in the third edition, namely the Mahayana Sutra, Volume 4 of the Eucharist Runpin (up and down after the volume), it is recorded that Sakyamuni left a Buddha's tooth after tea:
Runpin IV of Mahayana Sutra Sanctuary
Released by the emperor, I went to the tea skin with the Qibao bottle and supporting tools, and the fire naturally went out for a while. The emperor put the Buddha's treasure coffin and wanted to invite the Buddha's tooth. The floor teased him and asked, "What are you?" Answer "I want to ask the Buddha tooth to return to heaven." Lou ridiculed: "If you don't have it for yourself, you can do it for the public." Explain that "the Buddha gave me the Buddhist relic first, and let me put myself out by fire." The emperor explained that the treasure coffin was opened immediately after the words were finished, and the tooth relic was taken out from the right upper jaw of the Buddha's mouth, that is, the tower fell from the sky for support. I have two dying patients, Luo Cha, who disappeared with the release of invisibility, all of them disappeared. Steal a pair of Buddha tooth relics. At that time, men and women in the city wanted to fight for relics for a while. Lou Dou warned: "The public should know how to treat peace and peace. As the Buddha said, they should support each other according to the law. " At that time, all the men and women in the city didn't hear what Lou teased. They each hold spears, bows, arrows, swords and all weapons, and everyone solemnly wants to choose interests. At that time, the public in the city opened Buddhist coffins, and their white hair was not burned. When they saw that they were crying again, their eyes were full of tears, and they all offered their grief and prayed deeply. They cried for a long time and said the same thing.
At that time, the Buddha was saddened by it and broke the diamond body into the last relic. But leave four teeth. Don't break them. At that time, the public saw that the relic was no longer sad and supported with tears.
By quoting the above version, we know that after the death of Buddha, * * * left seven Buddhist tooth relics. That is to say, before the Buddha was cremated, three Buddha teeth were left to the world, one for Indra and two for Ji Jie Luo Cha. After the Buddha statue was cremated, King Kong was broken into the last relic, and there were still four Buddha teeth left. In other words, there are seven Buddha tooth relics in heaven and earth.
Looking through the vast number of Buddhist classics, it is said that there is only one place for a pair of Buddha's teeth in the southern edition of the Great Bodhisattva Sutra, which shows that there is an inseparable relationship between them. The two Buddhist tooth relics found in Sakyamuni Pagoda of Buddha Palace Temple in Yingxian County should be a pair of Buddha teeth invisibly stolen by Ji Jie Luo Cha as recorded in Nanben Nirvana Sutra.
Judging from the historical classics, the content of this matter is recorded in Volume 53 of Buddhist Statistics and Propaganda of Tang and Dao Lawyers in Song Dynasty. "The lawyer is walking in Ximing Temple, and the Prince of the North is a teacher with the Buddha's teeth." Lawyer Daoxuan has always kept the relic of the Buddha's teeth dedicated to this rare treasure, and when he visited Shanxi at the age of 35, he gave a pair of Buddha's teeth to Jincheng, a military town outside Yanmenguan. In the folk literature classics, the pagoda held by the father of Nezha, Tota Li Tianwang, is said to be Yingxian Pagoda. According to ancient legends, it should also explain the relationship between a pair of Buddha's tooth relics and Sakyamuni Tower in Fogong Temple in Yingxian County. Since then, "the first county in the cloud", that is, "the famous area in Mobei should be regarded as a great vassal", has become profound and complicated, which has given birth to the life track of the great integration of the Chinese nation and demonstrated the truth of Brahma.
Yingxian county was called Yingzhou in ancient times. Scholars in Yingxian county have studied the historical origin of Yingxian place names from many aspects. Tomorrow's meeting explained that it was named after the dragon head of Yanmen echoed with the two mountains, which was obviously a side meeting. According to the Buddhist scriptures, the sacred objects of the Buddha "should go up to heaven, and should sprout under it, which is actually where they should be." "Heaven is full of sprouting" means the gods in the sky and all beings on the earth, and the place where Buddha bones and teeth are displayed is "Ying" ... >>
Question 5: Is the Buddha tooth relic really a monk's tooth? Anything to say? (sacred) Buddha tooth relic
When the Buddha touched the body, it was known as a fine-grained relic, and one of its teeth was undamaged. Now it is in the ashes, which is the tooth relic of the cloud Buddha. From time to time, monsters steal Buddha's teeth, and then Vishamun Heavenly King teaches Nanshan Daoism with Buddha's teeth.
Shi Yun. Later, the Nirvana Sutra said:' The emperor released the right jaw of the Buddha's mouth, took the tooth relic, and returned to heaven to raise the tower for support. I had two acute illnesses. After Luo Cha disappeared with the emperor, everyone disappeared and stole a pair of Buddha's tooth relics. "In the Song Dynasty, a monk preached that the lawyer walked in Ximing Temple at night. He fell on the front steps and was supported by something. It was harmless to walk in the air. Gu Lizhi is a teenager. Who did you ask? The young man said that Naer, the son of the King of Vishamun, had been supporting monks for a long time to protect the law. He also said: someone has a Buddha tooth, which grows in the palm of his hand. Leaders can still give up and dare not give up. I was given a declaration. Buddhist orthodoxy says,' Lawyer Tang Xuan, the gods secretly gave Buddha's tooth to Sakyamuni and supported him with him.' Yuan Lei, a Song Dynasty poet, said:' ZhongYu in Xining visited Xianping, a prophet of Liu Dingzi and a Buddhist temple. The son called Yu Yue first: There is a Buddha tooth here, which is very different. Yu Nai Zhai Jie looked at it, and suddenly there were relics on his teeth, such as human sweat, which poured out quietly, and I don't know the number. Or flying in the air, or falling on the ground, people bear it with their hands, that is, across the bed, picking up, penetrating again, bright and brilliant, rotting everywhere. It was given to the capital and widely circulated among officials. Later, someone greeted the capital, and the consul took it into the East House, which was the home of a scholar-bureaucrat.
According to "The Tooth of Buddha" written by Shen Kuo in the Northern Song Dynasty, around the reign of Xining (about 1070), Shen Kuo, as a visiting ambassador, saw a tooth of Buddha and hundreds of relics in a Buddhist temple, which was amazing. Shen Kuo returned to the capital, "widely circulated among officials". After that, "someone greeted the capital and the consul brought it into Dongfu".
According to records, after the Buddha's nirvana, a * * * left four teeth, one in China, one in Sri Lanka, one in the sky and one in the sea. The sky and the sea refer to the direction. The ancients took the sky as the north and the sea as the south, and there was no specific place. One spread to Ceylon (now Sri Lanka), the other to Qing Wu (now Pakistan), and from there to Yuwen (now Hotan County, Xinjiang, China). In the mid-5th century, Fa Xian, a monk of the Southern Dynasties, traveled westward to Khotan, bringing this Buddha tooth relic back to Jiankang, the capital of the Southern Qi Dynasty (now Nanjing). After the establishment of the Sui Dynasty, the Buddha tooth was sent to Chang 'an. During the Five Dynasties, a war broke out in the Central Plains, and the Buddha tooth relic spread to Yanjing (now Beijing), the capital of Northern Liao Dynasty. In the fifth year of Song Xining, the envoys who paid tribute to Liao passed through Zhongdu to meet the fifth Sun Zhao Shichang. Zhao Shichang learned about Beijing from envoys and learned that there was a Buddha tooth and hundreds of relics in Jiawang Palace. On 1074, Zhao Shichang invited the tooth of Buddha from Jiawang Palace to Baoshang Temple in Wenshang, Shandong Province, and the word "Dongfu" was written on the tooth of Buddha. 1 1 12 years, Ren Chengzuo, Zuo Rongshi and Zhongdu Shuderu were buried in the tower palace, and the stone box in the tower palace was engraved with inscriptions. The sacred object is 3.4 cm long and 3.3 cm wide.
Question 6: Why is the Buddha tooth relic so big/why is the Buddha tooth relic so big? The size of the Buddha tooth relic is equivalent to the size of a human tooth. The pictures of Buddha's tooth relics on the Internet are all enlarged.
Question 7: What are the benefits of seeing Buddha's tooth relic? Meeting is also a kind of fate. Different people will have different blessings. The advantage is to learn more Buddhism by yourself. See the Buddhist scriptures "Infinite Life Sutra", "Tibetan Sutra" and "Pumenpin".
Question 8: Where is the Buddha tooth relic? Anshan jade Buddha predestined relationship.
Question 9: How much is the Buddha tooth relic worth? Well, it can be estimated by the number of people all over the world.
One Buddha stops at the ground, and it is three thousand generations.
The place where the sun and the moon travel shines all over the world, which is a small world (roughly equivalent to today's solar system).
A thousand small worlds, called Hanazono Sakura World; A thousand Hanazono Sakura worlds, called a thousand worlds; A thousand worlds are called boundless universes.
So a Buddha can stop the earth, which is a billion small worlds in concept.
Therefore, if you convert the money worth "one billion solar systems" and make a discount, it will be almost the same.
Question 10: Buddha's Tooth Relic Buddha's Tooth arrived in Bianjing in the third year of Tianfu (938) at the end of Jin Dynasty, and after Qidan invaded Bianjing for three years (946), the future of Buddha's Tooth is unknown. But there is no doubt that the Buddha's tooth was plundered to the north. /kloc-in 0/900, a Buddhist tooth relic box of Daphne family was unearthed from the remains of Zhaoxian Tower in Xishan, Beijing, with an inscription written by Shan Hui, a monk of the Northern Han Dynasty, in 963, the seventh year of Tianhui in the Five Dynasties. Mr. Chen () thinks that the Khitans died after they died. It is true that when the Khitan Lord died, Buddhism dispersed. It started in Taiyuan, when the teeth entered the Han Dynasty. Guo Wei usurped the Han Dynasty, and his teeth turned to the Northern Han Dynasty. He was once held by a monk Khan. At the end of Tianhui Festival, the Northern Han Dynasty was conquered by the Song Dynasty, and the Buddha tooth then avoided Yanjing. This inference is not bad, but it needs exact historical data to prove it. Shan Hui, a native of Shanxi, was awarded the title of "Master of Mystery" by Huo. There is a biography of goodness and wisdom in volume 23 of the biography of the monk, but unfortunately there is no Buddha's tooth. Almost every side of the preserved tooth box has an inscription written by Shanzhi. At the top of the box is the book of kindness and wisdom written in the diary of nigume Spiritual Tooth Relic Day Society on April 23rd, 2007. The work of the affairs box was rough, and it was obviously done in a hurry in a panic. Since then, it is unknown where the tooth was supplied, but after more than one hundred years, the tooth has returned. From 1900 to 2000, the Buddha tooth relics were unearthed. For a whole hundred years, except for going out to worship and temporarily worshiping in Guangji Temple, the Buddha tooth relic has never left the Xishan Lingguang Temple. /kloc-For 0/00 years, the abbots of Lingguang Temple devoted themselves wholeheartedly to protecting the Buddha's teeth. Today, teachers' names are listed on the left to commemorate their achievements (omitted one hundred years ago). Beijing Lingguang Temple was founded in the Tang Dynasty, first named Longquan Temple, and later renamed Jueshan Temple. After Liao, Jin, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, it was repeatedly destroyed and built. It was renamed in the 14th year of Ming Chenghua (1478). 1900 When Zhaoxian Pagoda was destroyed, Haishan and Monk abbot. Haishan was old. Knowing that he couldn't help the Dojo, he took over from Cheng En Temple monk Sheng 'an. Clean up the ruins of Zhaoxian Pagoda, and look for Buddha's teeth, seamounts and sacred land to be safe. Saint Ann died, and Monk Maureen took over as abbot. After Maureen, () Tang Sanzang took over. ) After Tang Sanzang took the tooth, he made a more exquisite rosewood box again, invited the tooth in, and copied the inscription of the tooth and the new box. At that time, there were no towers to hide, and the Buddha's teeth were enshrined in boxes on the altar of the abbot's room. So there are two kinds of tooth boxes circulating today. One is a box of Daphne, with the inscription of Shanhui on it, which is now in the living room of Lingguang Temple. Another rosewood box made by Tang Tong is now on the relic pavilion of Guangji Temple in Beijing. The following () Tang Ren is a monk in Lang Jing. After the net, the heart is clear. After the founding of New China, Lang Jing and Mingxin left the temple one after another and went down the mountain to escape into the world of mortals. There was no abbot for more than 30 years. In the early 1980 s, the abbot of Haiyuan, Lingguang Temple of Chinese Buddhist Association. The old monk died in early 2000.
