do Buddha want people to venerate his remains???

I am referring to the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple @ chinatown... didnt the buddha say no attachment?

to learn more.................go to sgforums and go to the Buddhist folder - you'll get fantastic articles to read that will astound you plus people there really know a lot.


when you know more, you'll know that the Buddha has told people not to be attached to anything that's related to him...............not even to the word ''Buddha'' or his teachings.............becoz there's really nothing for people to be attached to in the 1st place........


senior monks have used terms like ''stupid'' and ''shit'' when referring to the Buddha..............so that the junior monks will not get attached to even the word ''Buddha''
 
Then why be attached to the concepts of Buddhism?

Why even bother?

in a way, you're right..................

Buddhist teachings are for you to realize it's truth and meaning.....................and then not to be attached to it..............becoz there's actually nothing for anyone to be attached to...................
 
We can talk a lot but not Buddhism. We only understand culture and religion but not Nirvana. We live in a limitation world to understand Buddhism. Purify is not easy.
