and province of Krabi.
What Are Buddha Relics?
Buddha relics are of great cultural and religious significance to
Theravada Buddhists in Thailand, and across the globe. Each major
Buddhist temple in Thailand has relics of Buddha that are usually given
to the temple's founder, or "Abbot", for display at the temple.
Ajarn Jumnien received these Buddha relics from important Buddhist
figures across Asia. Most relics are from northern India, Nepal, and
even some from Sri Lanka. The relics are supposed to consist of ashes
and bone fragments from Buddha himself. This area of the temple is
always a very sacred place, shoes must be removed prior to entering the
bot where the Buddha's relics are kept secured.
We do not sell anything here on our website that looks like, or claim
to BE Buddha relics, we find it quite ridiculous that others do so. Do
you really think you could buy any of Buddha's original relics for less
than a couple of million dollars - were they to be sold? Of course not.
We don't get involved in business such as this. We only offer original
amulets from Buddhist temples across Thailand. If you are looking to buy
"relics" - you might try eBay or some other website.
Below we have history about some important Buddhist figures and
concepts.
