Mummified in gold? Sounds like a job for Indiana Jones.

NO SAINT SHOULD BE PRAYED TO. That is a Catholic tradition..NOT BIBLICAL.

Unless you use the Bible Jesus used, the Septuagint.

Christian saints are not worshipped. Yes, that's exactly what I said.

> Parts of the Buddha himself have supposedly been preserved as relics...
The body of Sidharth Malhotra (Lord Buddha) was cremated and the ashes sifted to obtain 4 teeth. These teeth are the relics.

A Sri Lankan friend of mine told me that Buddha’s ear is a cherished relic there. She showed me a picture of a religious procession, with elephants, that is held annually, and the ear leads off the parade, apparently.

Well said. There is a difference between worship and reverence.

At least the Buddhist monk wasn’t mummified & placed on a motorcycle in a riding stance.

Gold leaf can't be poured.
Hyperbole simply confuses the discussion.

Prop me up against the jukebox if I die. Put a stiff drink in my hand; fill my boots up with sand........

About a year ago I read about the relics of Buddha, evidently one had been stolen (Burma, now Myanmar) and it made the news,
I asked the Abbot of the local Buddhist temple if these relics of Buddha’s body actually existed and he told me yes they did and explained that they were incisor teeth, because teeth sometimes survive cremation. He told me there were 4 of them and they were stored in 4 different temples, never together, in case something ever happened to one of the temples. I know the Abbot, because my wife is the temple’s bookkeeper and, although I’m not Buddhist myself, I get sucked into their fund raiser events regularly.
