Sivali relic (from LP Ong)

Relics are, in brief, "by-products" of Enlightenment or spiritual attainment of gurus who have left us, and are priceless. The price I charge is for my service in getting these relics and to keep me in business to continue providing my service in future.

Function:
Relics are a sign of attainment of spiritually accomplished beings (or Enlightened Beings) who have left us, and are meant to:
- inspire us to attain Enlightenment ourselves
- remind us that Enlightenment is not just a myth but it is true and possible
- give those who have not had the chance to meet Enlightened Beings to pay respect to the relics as a way of showing respect to these Enlightened Beings
- Can be used by a master or ajaan or guru monk to remove or fight black magic or possessions
- To gain merits (for present and future lives) when housed in one's altar and venerated

Method of use:
- These relics can be placed on one's altar and one can make offerings (like a cup or glass of water, or/and with some flowers, for example) to them on a daily basis. One can also carry these relics around, as some believe they can protect you in the same way amulets can. In fact, many amulets contain relics.
