Sarira & Greed [1]

Terjemahan Indonesia : Sarira & Keserakahan

Guru has said that Sarira signifies Purity.
The Pure Essence of Buddhas.

It derives from studious cultivation and resulting attainment of Arhat; Boddhisattva; or Buddha levels.

For those that attained these levels of cultivation, the presence of immovable or steadfast faith and wisdom to unravel Universal secrets is achieved.

Sentient beings crave the perceived powers of Sarira for centuries.
They think as long as they possess these Sariras, they will have great power.

In the Eight fold noble path from the Fourth Noble Truth, these are what we should remember.

Division	Eightfold Path factors	Acquired factors
Wisdom (Prajna)	Right view	Superior right knowledge
	Right intention	Superior right liberation

My humble believe is that Sarira should not be bought at high prices just because you crave it and attribute it with great powers.
The Craving is actually Greed, one of the 3 poisons.
It also denotes Attachment to certain material and Fixation of adhering them with Power.
You believe they have Power to grant and execute your wishes!

A student bought a 108-bead chanting beads made by Dragon Palace Sariras. She kept standing at that booth and reluctant to leave without it. Seeing this, I told her if she thinks she really like it so much then by all means buy it.

She showed it to other students and they all followed suit, buying these ornaments made from Sariras.

However, the auras of all of them didn't improve with using these as chanting beads to cultivate.

The Purity of Sarira were polluted by the 3 Poisons of Greed; Ignorance and Hatred.

Ignorance in perception of power when Sarira are in your possession, created a craving to possess, which is Greed. 

Hatred derives from Greed of Power, which one thinks will elevate one above others.
If you love all sentient beings then you do not want to have power over them or be above them, correct?

To those that follow others' without being Mindful of what and where you are heading, please sit back and reflect on your life before and after the possession of these Sariras!
Have they improved your life?
Having them helps you in cultivation?
Possession elevated your status?
You Ego has advanced because you think you have powers that others didn't have?

Lastly, Guru talked about Chanting beads in detail and I have posted the article in this blog.
There is no mention of chanting beads made from Sariras.

This article resulted from a chat with Guru, because I am worried about the students that bought these Sarira ornaments.
In Samadhi, I saw darkness hovering over and around them.

Strictly speaking, Sarira is Human remains too!

If you can't appreciate the Essence of Purity from studious cultivation they represent, I have to advise you to relinquish thoughts of ownership of them.

They are good as gifts as there is no exchange of money involved.

As a True Yogi, renunciation of sentient materials is the Key to cultivating your very own Sariras.
