International Tour of Historical Buddha Relics Visits Campbell

A world-wide free exhibit of ancient and sacred relics of the historical Buddha, “Shakyamuni” and other great Buddhist masters, from India, Tibet, Korea & China, will be on display this weekend in Campbell.

This is a rare opportunity to view these sacred relics, which were found among the cremation ashes of these Buddhist masters. They resemble beautiful, pearl-like crystals called 'ringsel'. Buddhists believe relics embody the master’s spiritual qualities of compassion, wisdom & loving kindness.

His Holiness the Dalai Lama has graciously offered to this collection, eight Relics of the Buddha that are over 2,500 years old. Visitors may also participate in a Blessing Ceremony, if they like, where the relics of the Buddha are gently placed on the crown of the visitor’s head as a personal blessing.

Visitors often report experiences of inspiration and healing when in the presence of the relics. While some are inspired to pray for world peace and to develop their inner wisdom, others are overcome by emotion as the powerful effects of the relics open their hearts to compassion and loving-kindness.

"I was skeptical going into it, but I'm a curious person and kept and open mind. I left there amazed. It's hard to put into words, but the energy was very powerful. My friend who was with me and who doesn't believe in anything, was blown away" Ben Easter, Des Moines Relic event visitor.
