Buddhist temple ROSEMEAD (AP) — Although he'd been a practicing Buddhist for 20 years, until 10 months ago Dharma Master YongHua hadn't even seen so much as one of the sacred relics known as shariras that are so important to his faith. So it came as quite a surprise to the modest, softspoken monk when he learned he was becoming the caretaker of more than 10,000 of them. YongHua's modest Lu Mountain Temple became a repository for the thousands of colorful crystals, two teeth and a single hair that are believed to have come from the body of the Buddha himself. A congregant offered up the collection that he'd painstakingly gathered for years. The relics are said to be capable of producing miracles for people who go near them. And although Buddhists, like members of other religious groups, say that has to be taken on faith, even the skeptical are starting to believe miracles are happening since the shariras arrived. ''In the beginning, I didn't really know what to think,'' said Vickie Sprout, who meditates at the temple. Following YongHua's advice to keep an open mind, she and others noticed, they said, after six months of meditation in the presence of the shariras, that their efforts were leading to a more relaxed, blissful state. Looking back, YongHua said, it was no small miracle that the relics even made it to Lu Mountain Temple. Located on the corner of a hillside residential street, the temple is easily mistaken by average passers-by for what it once was: a modest, 1950s-era, cookiecutter tract home in an aging bedroom community east of Los Angeles. A glance down the hill offers a smog-shrouded view of hundreds of other homes, all looking the same. The handful of monks who live there like it that way. They rise at 3:30 a.m. each day and, inside the ornate temple that outsiders never see, they spend much of their days in quiet meditation. ''When we're cultivating Buddhist teachings we're kind of hidden,'' said Master Xian-Jie. ''We don't want a lot of people around.'' Since the shariras' arrival, there have been quite a few people around. Hundreds from around the country arrived earlier this year when the monks put the relics on display. They crowded up to the altar, around a statute of the Buddha and elsewhere for an up-close view of thousands of colorful crystals, some believed to have come from the heart and other body parts of the Buddha himself when he was cremated nearly 3,000 years ago. Other crystals are believed to have come from his family members and disciples, said YongHua, as the bespectacled, brownrobed monk showed them off again to visitors last month. ''To us, shariras are very important because if we see them we think we see the Buddha himself, even though the Buddha passed away a very long time ago,'' said Thu Nguyen, a 70-year-old retired daycare worker who traveled from San Jose with a dozen fellow Buddhists to see them. The last time she was in the presence of shariras, she said, was more than 10 years ago at a temple in the Chinese city of Shanghai.
