You may have read recently about one of Buddha's
\n fingers being brought from Thailand to Taipei in Taiwan. This got the
\n Beetle wondering about other parts of Buddha and where you can see them.
\n It is possible to see the casket containing the left incisor of the Buddha
\n in the sacred temple in Kandy, Sri Lanka. The Beetle queued up for some
\n time to walk past this sacred relic — it was certainly an experience!
\n It seems that there are three of Buddha's teeth in existence: one
\n in Sri Lanka, one in China and one in Thailand.<\/p>\n

Buddhists in Sri Lanka celebrate “Buddha Tooth Festival”
\n which begins on 1st of August every year and lasts for twelve days. Every
\n night during the festival, grand parades can be seen starting from 8:00pm
\n until 11:00pm. The Chinese tooth was found by a monk in 475AD and hidden
\n in what is today Nanking, in China. In times of war, it was taken to Beijing
\n and placed in a stupa. In 1900 when Beijing was invaded, the stupa was
\n destroyed, and monks found the tooth in the rubble. In 1964, the stupa
\n was rebuilt and the tooth placed in the pagoda of Beijing. The third tooth
\n is alleged to have passed into Tibet and transferred to India during the
\n Cultural Revolution before its final resting place in Thailand.<\/p>\n
