One thing I love about the story of the Buddha is that ... he didn't die a weird mystical death. He either choked on a piece of food or got food poisoning, died a normal man, and said any man is capable of seeing what he saw.

No religion should care less about the possible location of the remains, except to the extent those followers are confused about what the Buddha taught about the nature of reality.

No self and no attributes, baby!

"... Shariputra all dharmas are marked by emptiness they do not appear or disappear are not tainted or pure do not increase or decrease therefore in emptiness no eyes no ears no nose no tongue no body no mind no sight no sound no smell no taste no touch no object of mind no realm of eyes and so forth until no realm of mind consciousness no ignorance and also no extinction of it and so forth until no old age and death and also no extinction of them no suffering no origination no stopping no path no cognition also no attainment with nothing to attain ....
