...century B.C., his bodily relics were divided and divided again, but there were never enough to supply all the stupas (Buddhist shrines) in the land. As a result, the faithful constructed a hierarchy of lesser deities (Bodhisattvas) to worship, as well as an elaborate system of "reminders" of the sage himself. A reminder could be a stupa that possessed no relics but was a replica of one that did. There were also small clay tablets that recalled the sites of the four Great Events in Buddha's life-Kapilavastu, where he was born; Bodh Gaya, where he attained enlightenment...
