Is that Budda’s finger?
A fragment of bone believed to be one of Buddha’s fingers, and over 2,500 years old, went on display in Seoul last Friday.
The bone was discovered in 1987 in a hidden chamber at the Famen Temple where it was believed to have laid undisturbed for 1,000 years. The story is that the bone was placed in the temple during the Tang dynasty, which would have been between 618 and 907.
