Lankavatara Sutra & Sarira

Above: I wear a sarira (encased) as a pendant!

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.
......
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.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Last week someone showed me a Facebook posting regarding Dragon Palace Sarira.
The writer said that these Sariras emit power (energy) that can harm some spirits.
On the first day of Chinese New Year, Grandmaster said during an interview before the start of Padmasambhava event, the Sarira has the essence of Buddha and their existence resulted from attainment of high levels of cultivation.
They are extremely Pure in nature as well.
Using them to bless anyone, they can help cleanse and light up our inherent Buddha natures which in most of us are dormant.

Of course it is up to the individual to listen to Grand Master or not.
.....
Buddha is infinitely wise and compassionate.
Therefore there is No Truth in any sarira emitting energy that will harm anyone, be they with Form or Formless.

It is the Individual’s intent of trying to use them for a show of power to feed their ego and greed ….., that attempts to use sarira’s stored energy or power to achieve their negative goals.

However, Buddha’s essence will not aid these negative intents at all.
Therefore have no fear of any sarira harming anyone!

Always remember the characteristics of Buddhas and Boddhisattvas, they do not harm and are infinitely compassionate to all beings.

Chinese Drama ~
太阳之子 Prince Of The Sun 1990

In this drama, the Guru attained Nirvana while sitting and his Human form was burnt by fire. A sparkling yellow golden sarira results.

This Sarira immediately became Greedy Ignorants' target!

The Guru's last words were that he will be reincarnated as a Little Living Buddha.

The Sarira was snatched by an evil disciple who killed his fellow disciple to gain possession of this sarira.
He also sent his lackeys out to chase and kill those opposing him and also seek out and exterminate the Little Living Buddha as well.

As per the dying words of the Guru's diligent disciple, he said that the evil disciple, his fellow student, is using their Guru's sarira to cultivate an evil practice or a Mara's practice!

Hahaha!

Dear all,
With your knowledge of Buddha Dharma, can one use a sarira to cultivate and develop evil powers?
