DISCOVERY OF BUDDHA'S
BONES CREATES INTEREST
Recalls Legendary Story of the
Great Teacher's Death
i The discovery of 'the bones of
i ..hakyamuni, the great? Buddha, in the
\u25a0city of Peshawur, British > India, has
awakened fresh interest in the life. and
death of that remarkable man, who for
so many centuries has been the Christ
of' the oriental world. It is "related,
says an American paper, that . when
Gautama realized that his end was near
he retired to a mango grove near Kush
inaggara, in the district of the modern
Benares, and a great company of men
and -women followed him and listened
to his teachings, says the London
Globe. .. .
. He distinctly told them that he was
not the last Buddha,, but that another
Buddha would come who would be
known as "Meitrej-a" or "Love." He
said he was; about to pass- into Nirvana,
but the \u25a0\u25a0'\u25a0truths which he had ' taught
would abide forever. "Decay is com
mon to all things, huifian. but the truth
is eternal. Work out your own salva- ;
tion- with diligence"' These were the
words of "the Lcrd Buddha," and then"
he fell asleep and was .no more. His
two venerable disciples Anurudsha and
Ananda then summoned ; the tribe of i
Mailas,' to ' which \ Gautama belonged,
and requested them to dispose of the
remains of "the Blessed One."
These tribesmen gave orders to the
people to collect perfumes and garlands
and bands of music, and to assemble
in the. mango grove, where the body
lay : on a cot covered with •white linen..
There the multitudes passed the day
paying honor- and reverence to the de
parted. They made -canopies of .their
scarfs and decorated them with the
wiid flowers cf- the forest. Then they
danced and sang, around the deceased
Buddha.
After night had set in the heads of
the tribe lighted a fire and cremated
the body of ; the Buddha. The relics
were divided into eight parts, signify
ing the eight eternal principles of the
truth; right views < right judgment,
right speech, right purpose, right pro
fession, right" application, right mem
ory and \ right meditation. . When* the
embassies of the . kings who had em
braced the* teachings of the Buddha
ariived one part was preserved for the
tribe, of Mailas, and ' seven were pre-.
set.ted to seven kings.*
It is one of these precious relics
which 500 years after the death of
Buddha dftme into possession 'of Ka
nishka at Peshawur. and which he
placed in^ a costly casket enshrined in
a magnificent pagoda, and of which -the
king of England, as emperor of Iqdia,
including. Burtnah and Ceylon, which
are Buddist countries, is the right
possessor by !the law first laid 'down by
th(- disciples of the Lord Buddha when
tluy /distributed the relics of their
master^ among seven kings. '\u25a0\u25a0\u25a0
