Buddhism, since the passing away of Buddha has been practiced by thousands or even millions worldwide. Similarly with most religion, Buddhism was not spared from the primitive traditions and cultures practiced when the natives started to embrace buddhism.
On Saturday, I visited Amitabha Buddhist Center at Geylang to have a sneak preview on how relics of an accomplished teacher will look like.
I must say that i am pretty amazed by the beauty of the relics. its flawless.
The tibetan traditions, says that Relics of an accomplished man is hard to come by. And he must have acheieve a high level of attainment. And before he dies, he focused his mind in meditation so that some relics will be left behind for all as a source of inspiration and blessing. . It has also been mentioned that People with good karma and affinity will be interested to view relics.
Brief history
Mahasidda Geshe Lama Konchog, was an extremely humble monk. The Holy relics of this great man are extraordinary, as they appeared in great variety and amount and are known to muliply by themselves. It was also mentioned by his disciple that before Geshe Lama konchog dies, he specifically mentioned on the rituals and rites for his funeral. And he died while meditating on clear light meditation for 7days. and after which the body was cremated.. and there you have it! the relics of this great man...
Believe it or not ??? its really up to individual
