Shaolin Relics, ATTN: Gene

[stonecrusher69]

This question is for Gene but if anyone can give me any information that would be great. I wanted to know if Shaolin had a list of known relics that where missing since say the last 50 or so years that could be checked out. The reason I ask, I was told that my sigung who studied with a high level monk passed on some relics to him. I don't want to say in public what they are but I was told they have been lost now for some time. A monk from Shaolin came looking for them but my Sigung turn him away. I want to see if there is anyway to check this out.If this could be real story.My sigung also said his name is written in a book or something At Shaolin. He never went back to China because he said if he did he would not be able to return.

Do you mean Buddhist relics? I don't know of any such list. Shaolin went through some difficult times in the last century and I'm not sure that such records were even kept. It would help to know what, or should I say 'who', the relics are.

Yes ,Shaolin Buddhist relics.. the relics are stones(not sure what kind) that belonged to Shaolin that was giving to my sigung maybe 50 yrs ago.He had them in his possesion for many years but now are lost.He was suposed to bring them back to Shaolin when the time was right but now that's impossible.I was woundering if there are any records that show this type of relic that has been missing or any way to conform this.

Buddhist relics, just like those in Christianity or Hinduism, are the remains of famous masters, saints or important figures in the religion. These are often highly polished, like a bit of ivory, and contained in a bejeweled box of some sort. If these are truly relics, your master must know who's they are. Otherwise, they're just bones.

yes the stones(relics) belong to Ven.Hsu Yun then passed down to my sigung. That's the story anyway.I've never personally seen them but have heard about them. The stones represent the hire or lineage to who ever has them.

How did they get lost?

My sigung gave the stones ( to hold) to a good friend of his and when we was ready he was going to pick them up .His friend was about 20 years older then him.
Many years later, my sigung called his friend and his wife answer the phone and she said he passed away and did not know what he did with the stones. No ones seen them since then.
