SACRED RELICS DRAW ME BACK TO LDC
Two nights in a row, I dreamt of the sacred relics of Buddhas and Buddhist Masters that were visiting Malaysia last month. The morning in between the dreams, I saw a press write-up about the Exhibition to be held at LOSANG DRAKPA BUDDHIST CENTER, a meditation society I used to visit and help out with previously. I read it as a sign to pay LDC a visit and to benefit from the sacred relics that were on show there for three days.
formerly, and I also possess some very precious relics that have made their way to my home altars. Lama Zopa has in the past given me (and my friends) personal viewings of his collection each time I visit him at Aptos, his home in the United States, so I feel a strong connection to these relics.

love the feeling of peace and bliss that engulfs me each time I am in the presence of the Maitreya Tour relics. I have seen many of these relics
once more seemed too precious a chance to pass up. I brought my daughter and
grandson Josh with me and it was wonderful. I loved the energy of LDC all over again, and I have to congratulate those looking after the center for how beautifully they have maintained the place. It is so authentic and I am certain it benefits so many people who want to connect with Dharma. Tis is a place where anyone can get basic explanations. I always tell people that Buddha sets no conditions to helping others -
there are no pre-conditions. Anyone can receive blessings. All
that is
needed is your own strong request for knowledge. Visiting the relics Show at LDC, it was like I never left! Tese relics are part of the Maitreya
Loving Kindness Touring Exhibition that started in 2011 to showcase Lama Zopa Rinpoche’s personal relic collection. Since then, the Exhibition has expanded considerably. The collection has grown substantially with additions from other Masters, including relics from other Buddhist Traditions. To date, the relics have visited over 66 countries in six continents, and at least two million people have been blessed from just laying eyes on them and thinking devotional thoughts when near them. Relics look like small crystals and tiny white pearls found amongst cremated bones of great Masters. Relics also emanate as tiny coloured chips of precious agates and other gemstones. Sometimes body parts like hair, teeth and bone fragments of ancient Buddhas and Bodhisattvas
