These precious crystals are found in the ashes of enlightened sages after they are cremated. This special exhibit was featured in Season 5, Episode 10 of the History Channel series “The UnXplained” with William Shatner. This is the largest collection of relics in the United States and has attracted thousands of visitors since 2013. Many report that they can sense the energy of the relics and feel peaceful and blissful when in their presence. The Buddha’s relics thus provide the ideal atmosphere for meditation.
