2.26

Mingdao said: "It is claimed that the Buddhists actually cherish the body and cannot let it go. Why not look at the *History of the Five Dynasties*? It says: 'The Buddha gave his head, eyes, hands, and feet away to others.' Thus, that the Buddha did not cherish his body surely comes from the brush of Lord Ouyang. How could it be that only Buddhist scriptures contain this statement?"
