[edit] The Buddha
The article read, "The Buddha's body was cremated and the relics were placed in monuments or stupas against his dying wishes". Now, the rôle of stupas in Indian Buddhism is complicated, so there may well be something I'm not aware of, but I am not aware of evidence that this was "against his dying wishes", so I have removed that phrase as unsourced. Please correct me if I'm wrong.—Nat Krause(Talk!·What have I done?) 01:20, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
He actually says that no relics should be made of his body in his death sermon. I will source and reinsert. Lotsa Buddhist sects blatantly ignore the instructions in his death sermon, especially the parts about relics being forbidden and the disallowing of secret teachings.
