Coffeeshop Chit Chat - Buddha Tooth Relic Temple - scam? From: limpy lau peng (singaforever ) Jun-15 7:28 pm To: ALL (1 of 21) 34599.1 I want to convey in advance that I'm a Buddhist however I want to touch with this subject. It's an awareness that the Buddha Tooth Relic present in this temple may not be the actual McCoy. The overall remark offered is the fact that its too large for an individual tooth. He declined, once the Abbot was expected to issue the relic to DNA check. He stated that it had been directed at him with a Burmese monk (Myanmar again?) and he continued to construct this temple around this 'relic' via a large amount of very large contributions. OK now for the most significant element of my article. I am aware that many of silver was contributed to meltdown (about a ton of the rare metal), to make into a 'box' to accommodate the relic. Why the necessity to use silver? Also really routine, every prayer and every benefit performed within this temple includes a cost and is likely to be completed once payment has been made by you at the front end office. Don't believe me, go see their web site at http://www.btrts.org.sg/Index_Eng.html# Lets create a assessment, it's unknown however the Thai Buddhist Temple at Jalan Bukit Merah also includes a Buddha relic and it's kept in a glass container having a magnifying glass for individuals to view it as it's quite small. I've seen it myself. Price of glass, possibly $25.00. On Popular bookshop cost in the event that you base it magnifier about $12.00. Btw in the Thai temple, benefits are free. My feeling is that the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple in Chinatown is just a fraud, equal to the NCC and the CHC. I promise you there are certainly a large amount of fans in this company. But don't simply take my word for it, go see for yourself. Remarks, please. I will want to hear from you but no images of bare-ass baboons.
