Juz came back from watching the Crystal Relics in Penang's Moral Uplifting Society. The have a display of more then 5,000 Crystal Relics @ 舍利子. These Crystal Relics are only found in the ashes of monks who have already gotten enlightenment after years of training. It's quite a nice display compared to their other displays in Singapore and some other countries. There's even one which can float on the water, as well as a few others who have various color and sizes. And guess wut? It's FREE!!!

The bad thing is that some people believe all these Crystal Relics are holy and actually pray them!!! I heard that this is a gimmic done by the organizers to earn money for their own organization. It's like, if you want to bring a unit of Crystal Relics back to 供养 or worship, then you'll have to pay an amount of around RM 5,000. People that go there also are asked for donations. Imagine how much money they'll collect in a day if a visitor pays only RM10 in average. The que starts as early as 9am and the que will go all the way to the far end when the doors are open. Hm...worst thing is, they ask ppl to 皈依 or smth like buddist version of baptism. And they din explain it clearly. Irene and her parents almost got into the trap. But i've managed to cancel all those as they are not really prepared for it yet.

Anyway...here are a few pictures i manage to take. Cos i don't really have time to focus and take the shots, you can juz see some blur pics. I'll try to obtain some from the VCD i got from the display. See your luck pals.
