What is the meaning of "past life" in Buddhism?
Saying "past lives" may not be easy to understand. In our words, it is "immigration". This is easier to understand.
There is an old saying in China, "Birds of a feather flock together." Buddhists say that past life is to reach a state through your personal practice! Finally, after the death of the human body, the gods were born to the western paradise and met with all the kind people in the world! What is "being a good person"? Amitabha, Bodhisattvas ... and so on. When you are born in Elysium, you will become a Buddha.
What is the meaning of "relic" in Buddhism? The relic refers to the hard substance obtained by Taoist monks after cremation of their remains.
How did the relic come into being? For more than a thousand years, this has been an important topic for Buddhist scholars and researchers in the fields of medicine and biology, and many opinions have been produced so far.
There is a saying that in the process of practicing Qigong, under the requirements of the three elements of Qigong, that is, regulating the mind, regulating the breath and regulating the body, people's thinking activities are in an absolute quiet state of luck, calmness and nothingness for a long time, so as to maximize the true ability of nature, achieve the unity of heaven and man, achieve the full harmony between the internal and external body and mind, and transform the essence into each other, thus giving birth to the phenomenon of mixed elements (Tai Chi surrounded by yin and yang), which makes But this statement seems too mysterious. Judging from the historical documents and qigong practice, whether it is China's Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism qigong or Indian yoga, no one has ever practiced qigong and cremated the Buddhist relics after death. Even in Taoist classics or history books, there is no such fact. Maybe the immortal is out, so there is no need to be cremated. So this theory is obviously full of loopholes.
A newspaper in Hong Kong once published the article "The relic is a calcified stone". This paper holds that "the so-called Buddhist relics are actually stones in the human body, especially kidney calculi and gallstones", and also reveals the reasons for the formation of Buddhist relics: "Because monks live in a sitting position and mostly eat plant fiber, it is difficult to digest, and they take a sitting position for a long time, and the fiber in their bodies accumulates too much and calcifies into stones for a long time." The article also gives an empirical example: Master Bao Xian, who recently died in Hong Kong, found 80 or 90 relics after cremation. But there is still a question: does Bao Xian have lithiasis?
Dong Jingcheng, a famous old Chinese doctor, wrote in Fa Yin that some monks who meditate all night or even don't lie down to meditate eat vegetarian food, mostly plant fiber. After they are cremated, they may not find Buddhist relics, but people who have not meditated or been vegetarian for a long time can also find Buddhist relics. According to the data, some old ladies who stay in bed all day and are vegetarian also have black relics after cremation, which proves that the formation of relics is not necessarily related to long-term sitting posture and vegetarianism.
The explanation of Buddhist classics for the appearance of Buddhist relics is of course different from the above. According to Yuan Zhong's "Flying Snow Record", "Relic, according to the Buddhist book room, Luo Li, or Luo Li, this cloud is bone and body, also known as spiritual bone. There are three colors, white bone relic, black hair relic and red meat relic. " Also, Jin Guangming Jing Ji said: "The relics here are the fragrance and fragrance of infinite abstinence. Buddhism also follows this statement. " Taiwan Province feast master said: "Carnivores also have relics when they are cremated after death, which has nothing to do with eating meat. Those who practice through meditation or fear will have Buddhist relics when burned. Generally speaking, only those who want to practice discipline, determination and wisdom can have Buddhist relics. However, the remains themselves are the crystallization of human secretions. It has a certain sacredness and mystery, which is valued by Buddhists, but it is not necessarily a big deal for Buddhists, because it still belongs to the change of the world's color body, and it will not be impermanent after all. This is what saints value. "
At present, there is no reliable theory about the scientific principle after the cremation of Buddhist relics, which requires the cooperation and research of medicine, biology and especially Buddhism. This is just as Comrade Qian Xuesen said when talking about Qigong: "This will be a revolution to transform mankind, which is of course a great thing." This research will play an important role in human life.

Self-centeredness requires mindfulness and moderation. Don't hide flaws, don't show differences and confuse people, raise yourself everywhere, be content with knowledge, be interested in service, and don't accumulate. "
Note that the Buddha did not say that these things are wrong, but that the proper business of Buddhists is life and death, that is, self-awareness, self-liberation, and then awakening others. Indulging in these things will hinder the waste of life.

First, centrifuge. Although this heart is shallower than the last two, it is the first one. It is often said that it is easy to get rid of difficulties. It's easier said than done, but it's harder to get rid of all kinds of bondage in the world (wife, children, fame and fortune, enjoying life). Even some monks, despite getting rid of secular family and fame, still want to be leaders and mentors of Buddhism. As a result, he occupied the forest, collected disciples, reused his cronies, contended with sects, and lived a rich man's life, which was in stark contrast to releasing the throne from the palace, spending the night in the forest and begging for food. Therefore, these things in the world, like cancer cells, will never develop. Therefore, first of all, we must be able to give up these things that are hard to give up and no longer want to stay. Eccentricity is not negative and world-weary, on the contrary, it is really a great ambition. In order to actively save the world, we must go into battle lightly. I'm still sleeping, how can I wake up other people's dreams? More conscious is the nostalgia for the world, which is the most serious persistence, then your mirror will not be cleaned. First of all, there must be centrifugation, which is the most fundamental.
