How do you figure that? The supposed relics were sent to lots of countries, how would they all have ended up in China?bolueeleh wrote:if its the cremated remains of lord buddha then its a fake, china kept all real remains in their vaults, they started doing this a long time ago

Kandy in Ceylon has the Buddha's Tooth.
Goa has most of Francis Xavier.
Two rival churches in Sicily have the foreskin of Jesus.
Ivy Guest House in Siem Reap has Pol Pot's toilet seat from his last Anlong Veng redoubt.
