Sayadaw U Kittivara is glad to propagate Buddha dharma and the relics in Malaysia and all around the world. Thurs, it gives a chance for buddhist devotees to pay respect to the Buddha relics and Arahants relics everyday.

Waki families are very supportive and encouraging for the development of the relics. Although the Buddha attained nibbana 2500 year ago, the relics of the Buddha still remain until nowadays. Therefore, we are very lucky to have the great chance to pay respect and worship the Buddha’s relics, Arahants’relics and pagodas. When we pay respect to Buddha statue or relics, we are doing a good and wholesome deed. To see the relics is just like seeing the Buddha in person, so to pay respect to the relics is the same as to pay respect to the Buddha, so we should pay respect with sincere intention and we will be blessed with the same mertis and abundant result.

There are two categories of the Buddha’s relics which are

1. Asambhinda relics which are nucleus such as the frontial bone, two collar bones and four tooth relics

2. Sambhida relics which are in parts such as flesh relics, skin relics, hair relics, bone relics

According to Khadhaka Nikaya Apardana Pali text, we gain eighteen kinds of the benefits by building and worshiping to the pagoda as follow:

1. One will get wealth and nothing can destroy it .

2. One will reborn in human and Deva realms

3. One will lead a noble lifestyle.

4. One will be get many good transport mode.

5. One will be have many servants and helpers.

6. One will wear high and elegant clothes.

Finally, I am so happy that Waki International Group has built a grand Relics Museum and to house Buddha relics, Arahant relics and Buddha stupa. May all the noble good deeds done by the President of Waki Relic Centre, Mr. Teo Choo Guan and all WAKI families from various countries be healthy and wealthy.
