Dhamma Wheel Buddhist Forum

Do the Theravada context mention anything about Śarīra? I see quite amount of people in Asia do recognize it and think it's some good luck charm to them, some take it as something that protects one from harm and evil spirits.

The Pureland Buddhism do mention it as some highly attained monks will have Śarīra(s) in the cremated ashes of the body.
