The Kapilawastu Relics was also included in the 'Indo-Ceylon' Accord of 1987 (year not sure) and should have been sent to Sri Lanka earlier. The Exposition of the Relics at this moment in time should be viewed with trepidation as the timing is not expedient.
Its more relevant to find out more about the 'Relics of the Orient' the Arms Bowl of the Buddha gifted by the King of Sri Lanka to the King of China through Marco Polo when he came to Sri Lanka as Emissary of China in the 13th century (1292-94). The significance of the relationship we share with China through the Bowl of the Buddha rests on common denomination of our enduring bond with China and also HK and Taiwan, which is more important to us in the 21st century which is that of Asia with Sri Lanka its non-official Mascot.

The event is very important and let us hope that the people who pay homage to the holy relics, go back to lead a peaceful life, by following the great teachings of Buddha. This is the real test for those who can answer what have the followed in the religion?
