013_附录一 舍利子与空坟墓（013_ Appendix 1. The relic and the empty tomb） 013_附录一 舍利子与空坟墓(013_ Appendix 1. The relic and the empty tomb) Is there any big difference between their deaths and that of ordinary people? Some people may want to argue, but his body is out there, soul went to the ineffable realm to. But please note that Buddhism from the "soul" without this argument, they argue that all karma, the method without me, if you want to have that Buddha "I" (soul) the existence of the basic tenets of the Buddhism to overthrow it. When Shakya Muni died, had brought great disappointment and sorrow of the disciples at the time, according to legend, these people have lamented bawler stop, because they feel so respected teacher, and ordinary people should not be so dead. The dead also resulted in the days after the Mahayana Buddhism multi God worship, because Buddhists made helpless, had to find another way in the faith, created a lot of Buddha in the metaphysical and the name of the Buddha's name, (such as the Tathagata, Avalokiteshvara and so on all non historical figures, just a hypothetical but, these objects to have) to kowtow worship. The truth of Resurrection However, Christianity and Buddhism greatly different, the establishment of the Christian Jesus Christ, although once dead, but his body did not burn in a heap of relic, and even his flesh also died and gone into heaven, leaving only a see is the seat in Jerusalem's empty grave. The empty tomb first aroused the disciples surprised, then give them great hope and encouragement, because they knew later and see that the Lord Jesus has been raised, the empty grave news also inspired Christians around the world today, mainly to preach the gospel. The existence of empty graves is evidence of Jesus's resurrection (there are many evidences of resurrection of Jesus, no matter what). Because of his resurrection, he also brought great hope to the people of the world for resurrection. But at that time, for the unbelieving, resurrection would be a kind of punishment, but for the believers it was a kind of eternal life. Although it was the same resurrection, the result of the two party was the difference between life and death. The disciples of Jesus although once for master die gesture of despair and sorrow, but after a few days, they are exposed to is not installed in the bottle a few grains of Jesus's relics, but a mettlesome, can say to eat the resurrection of the savior! Therefore, once the discouraged disciples regain their inner strength and clinking, Fen went around to proclaim the Lord's death and resurrection, and even willing to die a martyr! If it is a quiet soundlessness Jesus relic in, so moved his disciples to preach the gospel to travel along a long and difficult road, please? Please notice here how grave the empty grave is to us! The outlook on life after China's entry into WTO Since Jesus ascended until today, only a master worship doctrine in Christianity, was always at the end of it, because Jesus is not dead burned ash, but alive in heaven to pray, so Christians need not go to other idol worship. The person in charge of the Christian Church, not to fool the believers, the dead to the priest as a baby, with his body as the capital, with his relics lie again a believer, say what great things, advise everyone to donate money accumulated merit, build a monument for what the ashes, in order to increase the scenery around the church and attract people to watch the play, by the way to increase income incense. Jesus left the empty tomb, for Christians brought a WTO positive outlook on life, Paul had slept in the empty tomb was reluctant to beat foreign force, in order to have a crown of immortality, if not into the empty tomb, where Jesus is still bad when there is no good news, the Christian revival can be reported, Mr. Paul two thousand years ago that the end will never fool so reluctant to let a bully! We Christians today live in the world, in addition to food to maintain our physical survival, and a support force pushing us, so that we would learn to suffer like Paul, that is the empty tomb Jesus left. If the tomb is not empty, then as Paul said: "if Christ has not been raised, your faith is vain, you are still in your sins, is asleep in Christ will perish, if in Christ we have hope in this life only, even more than the people poor" (1 Corinthians fifteen 17 ~ 19). The main purpose of Christianity is to preach the death and resurrection of Jesus, so that people can repent and return to the lord. If Jesus did not revive, Christianity and Buddhism and other religions, there is no difference. However, Jesus freely moved out of the grave blocked by big stones, which means that Jesus had taken off the bondage of death, conquered death, and seized the sovereignty of the death of the uniform. But Shakya Muni and Jesus, but on the contrary, the Buddha always get out of the crematorium (India for cremation, no grave preparation of the dead, but here the crematorium to the grave, his body silently) for disposal, burned a pile of ashes. That is to say, like the others, he is still under the influence of death, and there is no way to get rid of death. No wonder his great disciples are crying over his death. The relic and the empty tomb is the representative of the two religions, the former is dead, the latter is born, the former is there is the phenomenon which is visible, is a super spiritual phenomenon is not visible, people see a relic, they will think of Buddhism's famous "impermanence", but Christian the thought of Jesus slept in the empty grave, he can not help but sing Jesus saying: "I am the resurrection, in my life, I believe the man is dead, he shall live! " The definition of Buddhist relics The word is transliterated Sanskrit India Sarira Chinese relic, sarira, utilitarian, room liero, but later we used relic word, sometimes called "the son of God" and other relics. Sanskrit is intended to "body", "body", "left", which means the dead dead or remains concerned. Pali in India called "dead body" also used Sarira. According to the "fortieth" Fa Yuan Zhu Lin said: "the western regions is Sanskrit, known as bone, but afraid of being abused by Yu Fanfu of the dead bone, thus reveal the names of the deposit. In other words, in India Sanskrit Sarira dead ashes (equivalent to English ashes), but in order to respect the Buddha's ashes, ashes and ordinary people make it different reasons, then the word refers to the Buddha relic special for ashes. But one day long, "" relic of the usage of the more extended to all the Buddhist remains after cremation or burial. Today, the word "relic" has become a Buddhist term. But according to the original Sanskrit, the remains of the dead are called the relic, the deceased's belief in Buddhism and no relationship. But the word "Sarira" was introduced into China by Buddhism, and since the people were banned from cremation after the Southern Song Dynasty, only Buddhist was allowed to be cremated, and the term "Buddhist relic" naturally became a Buddhist proper. In short, Shirley refers to people died after the burial or cremation remains or remains of ash. The types of Buddhist relics Buddhist relics can be divided into two types: "Ode to Dharma relics" and "body bone relic". Method to refer to Sakyamuni Buddha relic left method (lessons), since it is said that all the classic where is the buddha. But this abstract relic is not noticed by the general people. Today, many people believe that the mysterious relic is the body bone relic. This relic can be divided into two categories: first, the whole body relics (burial and), two, broken body (a relic cremation), is outlined as follows. The whole body Relics: this does not mean the body after the burial after a few years, the size of the bones become fragmentary messy, but especially the so-called "bad", a special method of burial after the dead can keep body full body and said. This sounds very mysterious feel strange, but as long as you know the special burial method, will the ordinary mysterious. We refer to the Buddhist own words to explain how to get the whole body relics. Hu Guowei lay a Buddhist saying, "...... In the long run, from the dead body, So, the relic is called a corpse, and we understand this, and it is easy to understand the relic. Whole body relic, that is called not bad body. The body is composed of a burial, with the heating and the density of the cylinder or coffin. The burial method is to sit Buddhism in a cylinder, cylinder cover and seal it. Sitting in the cylinder cover of the cylinder exposed soil, soil and other construction of circular tower cover (the tower with the tower, please note that Gong note). So, the heat of the sun through the tower, and the tower and the gas, because the cylinder seal tightly, while the ants can not enter, is difficult to grow by bacteria, the body is perishable viscera water to absorb carbon, skin and tendons due to heating and chip shrinkage, the skeleton. Tight, three years into the body "cylinder. But Hu also noted "if after the cylinder is exposed for too long, was wrong, and not suitable for heating and density, then the body bone was scattered. Ordinary people also have the coffin, the bones scattered clothes in this column, geomancy that is good feng shui, a corpse to name the laity...... "(the" talk "Shirley, awakening the world magazine in forty-six years in May, 21). The Hu Wen pointed out that the monk as a vegetarian so rotten or meat, less fat, moreover, because from the monk desire, reduce blood consumption, keep the section network nutrition, so after death is easy to have the whole body relics. Listen to Hu Buddhist views, we can know the so-called "bad", but the body through a special burial method, the results obtained. The mystery itself is nothing strange, just by the living dead will be buried well and not only method. As an ordinary person after death to cook, believe there are whole body relics may be. The broken body: This refers to the dead after the remains after cremation. According to Buddhism, it can be divided into white bone relic, black hair relic, red meat relic three kinds. After the body's high heat cremation, the body of the quality of a chemical role, and into a number of condensed crystals, these things are relics. But Hu believes that this also with the heat and oxidation and other appropriate conditions to obtain, in other words, depends entirely on artificial disposal methods. This kind of relic, I think, can be burned by non Buddhists, such as cremation. In this regard, Hu fairly said: "in this way, the relic is not the patent of the monk, the general people cremation according to law, there may be a little.". But Hu is Buddhist, he thinks that monks can burn a little more than ordinary people. The reason is that the monks vegetarian, since plant essence of many monks quit prostitution, retain more prosperous vitality, monk revision is easy to condense the essence of bone marrow, so easy to crystallize than average for this. If Hu's reason can be established, then any person, such as a vegetarian, not married, and concentrate on doing meditation, sex, and after death, such as cremation, can also like monk burning a large number of Buddhist relics came. In fact, even when eating meat, married people, after cremation can also burn out some crystals (relics). Some people think that to his good heart, keep the precepts of the Buddhist relics to burn out, also according to the standard, to determine a monk's behavior, such as the burning, proves that was really a Buddhist, otherwise, it will ruin. But that's not true, because recently, in Keelung, suicide (because of debt)? A nun, after cremation also burned a relic, a Buddhist magazine also publishes a message for the relic, Jane ground for the nun argument that she is the relic, it is not as common as people pass as well, (I can not find the magazine) but this is self comfort! Since the nun has committed suicide, she has proved that she is not a true practitioner. It can be seen, or having had much to do with the living, the relic, the nun that there will be a relic appear? Superstition of Buddhist relics Perhaps due to the influence of relic worship, the Chinese Buddhists had a very naive and superstitious superstition about the monks and nuns who had been dead and the ashes of the famous Buddhist monks. Allegedly, This kind of relic can predict the fate of man. The people who went to see the Buddhist relics (many temples enshrined Buddhist relics), although in the same period. In the same place, but with the difference of karma and luck, each person sees different colors to the relic. It is said that in the family to see the red, monk to see yellow, grey and black are seen as negative, so there will be destruction. For example, a monk is looking black, not a month, the newspaper said that the mother lost, someone is looking at the gray, and soon after, the strong young lady, suddenly died, and so on, too numerous to mention. But we should know, this statement is obviously affected by the inherent superstition of Chinese folk. Buddhist karma, life all sorrows fate, set by karma, no human can now, or to know in advance. Buddhism told people, it is not as free, will also go by the samsara, as for all other details and daily life on the future fate, Buddhism is never tell anyone, not only is the Buddhism so, even all the religions of the world are unreasonable, can not do this step. People can tell the future how, only those physiognomist, magicians and divination done things a fortune teller. I really regret today's Chinese Buddhism. Why should I use my brain in the Buddhist relics and use the superstition and curiosity of the people to deceive people? If the gray and black is disadvantageous, what should the hair relic do? In Buddhism, it is clear that there is a black hair relic. The Stupa, the vase, the relic Where the placement of the Buddhist relics tower called Stupa, Sakyamuni Buddha's body was cremated, his relics were divided into eight points, arranged in eight countries of the stupa. In China, the earliest Stupa, it was said that in the Three Kingdoms, the monk monk felt the relic, and then the first stupa was built by Wu Sun Quan. When the six era of 2001, the first year of the main yuan Shou, Emperor Wen Zeng states across the country built thirty Temple relic tower, the following year, and the construction of the stupa in fifty-two states (Guang Hong seventeenth). But there are also build a stupa one hundred and eleven Sui Wendi said. In the Stupa, a built in Jiang Zhou (Jiangsu province Nanjing mountain Nie mountain) Qixia temple, a total of five layers, the whole is about fifty feet high, with a very fine black marble. The Buddhist relics are called Buddhist relics, which are called relic pots and bone pots. The manufacture of these container materials are metal, stone, pottery and wood etc.. However, in today's Chinese Buddhist temples, the Buddhist monk's Buddhist relics are often placed on the glass plate, covered with a crystal cap, which is more exquisite and easy to view. The religious worship party relic called relic, relic or relics gratitude speak or repentance, according to "the volume" are good and evil views, where a person for relic, can get ten kinds of merits, such as can be visually clean, away from ignorance...... Wait。 It is, of course, a kind of superstition, not a Buddhist doctrine, in order to encourage people to respect the Buddhist relics and to think of what is "merit". Finally, in this way, in the Buddhist scriptures there is a bird called sari, Chinese also translated into a relic, the bird was also called "Shrike, mockingbird, in" Amitabha Sutra "in the description of this relic in the heavenly paradise. It is not necessary to say that this kind of relic and the ashes of the dead are called Buddhist relics, but of course they are quite different. --------------------------------------------------------- Author: xiaxue (Post at: 2006-08-21 08:42:37) Come From: Action=show&no=6703
