Buddhist relics, is it true? Is there a scientific basis for certification?

From a scientific point of view, the relic is a crystal produced by cremation of monks' bones after death, which is essentially the same as glass. Having said that, Buddhist monks often have Buddhist relics after their deaths, but ordinary people don't. Therefore, Buddhism respects and worships the relic as a sacred object, and judges his cultivation according to whether the monk stays after death.

? Buddhist relics? This word comes from Sanskrit in ancient India, which means solid things. When it spread to China, people mystified it and thought it was a treasure of Buddhism, and there would be incredible merits in offering sacrifices to Buddhist relics. In history, Han Yu was almost put to death by Tang Xianzong for opposing the offering of Buddhist relics.

Out of respect for Buddhism, the scientific community has not specifically studied the Buddhist relics obtained by cremation after the death of monks. However, it is generally believed that human bones will crystallize when burning, and monks will wear a lot of personal belongings such as beads, so these impurities also participate in the crystallization reaction of cremation, thus forming colorful relics.

If the same thing is explained from different angles and different theories, it will have different faces, and the Buddhist community itself has its own views on the trip to the relic. Buddhism believes that the relic is a sacred relic that only monks can leave behind, a manifestation of monks' achievements in practicing precepts, stability and wisdom, and a crystallization of mysterious energy between heaven and earth. Therefore, many Buddhists stay away from the Buddhist relics, hoping to gain great wisdom by getting close to them and achieve something in their practice.

Legend has it that to identify the authenticity of the relic, you can beat the relic with a hammer. It's true that the relics can't move, but if you hit them with eggs, they will become shattered. It is said that Buddhism is invincible like King Kong, but it pities all beings and cherishes life.

Although there are many legends about relics, it is interesting that in 2008, someone applied for a patent for the production method of relics. So maybe the remains are not so mysterious, just a phenomenon of natural science.
