Śarīra

Both of these terms are ambiguous in English; they are generally used as synonyms, although according to some interpretations, ringsels are a subset of śarīras.Some Buddhists associate a student's spiritual life with the amount and condition of the śarīra they leave after cremation.Many Pure Land Buddhists believe Amitābha's power manifests cremated remains into śarīra.[citation needed] There is evidence that under certain conditions of heating, human bones can form crystalline structures.[5] Pearl relics are documented in the 2008 film, Unmistaken Child, among the cremation ashes of Geshe Lama Konchog.
