"Sarira" (skrt.) is originally the word for "body". In the case of Buddhist relics, this refers to pearl or crystal-like balls that form in the ashes or cremation stupas of enlightened Buddhist masters and are found and removed there. Sariras, Tib. "ringlets", carry the complete power and blessing of the enlightened one and are extremely precious and very rare - and some of them very, very old.
These extremely precious Sariras are also a gift from Lama Löden Tamang and originally from Rajagriha, the site of the first Buddhist council. Ananda took these Sariras from Buddha's cremation stupa, blessed them together with Shariputra and sealed them in a vase during the council. In 2000 it was found again and opened - the Sariras had multiplied. We have now received THREE MORE PARTS from the Lama. The entire Proceeds go to Lama Löden's project to benefit Tibetan orphans in Lhasa and Kham.
The sariras (pieces) are considered to be extremely powerful and blessed and are over 2560 years old.
Lama Löden Tamang vouches for their authenticity. Here too, we had reservations about putting such a treasure in a shop and are doing so on the express instructions of the lama - it is an incomparable gift that can achieve a lot of good in Tibet. Most of the other pieces and sariras are kept in monasteries.
The sarira is delivered in a small acrylic box, together with Lama Löden's certificate.
After consulting the lama again, we are charging 12 x 108.00 euros at his request; eight times for the noble eightfold path and six times for the paramitas.
