Sale of gems 'containing living presence of Buddha' condemned
The Guardian
|May 02, 2025
Buddhist academics and monastic leaders have condemned an auction of Indian gem relics that they said were considered to be imbued with the living presence of the Buddha.
The auction of the Piprahwa gems will take place in Hong Kong next week. Sotheby's listing describes them as being "of unparalleled religious, archaeological and historical importance" and many Buddhists considered them to be corporeal remains, which had been desecrated by a British colonial landowner.
