	hkaiter says: When Shakyamuni Buddha was cremated around 2,500 years ago, the relic remains were distributed to various regions of the world. There were 40 tooth relics and other pearl-like deposits which are venerated by faithful followers of the many Buddhist traditions. Sometimes, relics mysteriously multiply or disappear, depending on the karma of the keeper. When the next Buddha Maitreya appears on this earth, Shakyamuni's Buddha's relics will disappear. Temples are built to house the relics because of the many viewers who wish to pay respect to the Buddha within and without. May all sentient beings have happiness, be free from suffering and abide in equanimity. Om Muni Muni Maha Muni Shakya Muni Soha. Posted 18 months ago. ( permalink )
