It's so mysterious @slowwalker but I don't really understand it because I'm from another part of the world and I'm a Christian. May I ask something: If, after cremation, parts of the Buddha have been scattered around the world and are not visible, whereas they can be located in particular place? How could the balls remain after the cremation? These balls that were found - called Sarira? These statues of the guards guard the beads left over from the Buddha?
