1. Origin of Relics There are many kinds of relics found when our Master Ri Chang passed away which are kept in a pagoda in BW Monastery. Especially precious is the hair left behind by our Master when he was alive. Venerable Jing Yuan kept a portion of it. It is currently enshrined in the silver relic pagoda of our monastery. This silver relic pagoda was given by Teacher Zhenru herself.
