比普羅瓦(Piprahwa),印度鄉鎮,位於北方邦錫達特那加爾縣,以生產火山黑鹽,卡拉那瑪克(Kala Namak)而聞名。

出土的刻有铭文的舍利罐

古代相傳釋迦牟尼入滅後,火化所得舍利分至八個窣堵坡,分別奉祠,此地為其中之一。1897年,英國人佩普(William Claxton Peppé)在此地發現了古代窣堵坡遺址,并根據碑銘研究專家George Bühler對舍利罐銘文的解讀而撰寫了“发现佛陀骨灰”的报告,此後學者们對此銘文的解讀進行了持久的爭論。

大英博物館早期南亞及喜馬拉雅收藏前館長邁克爾·D·威利斯英语Michael D. Willis在2012年在書評中,稱發掘出的骨灰罐上的銘文是德国人类学家費洛英语Alois Anton Führer偽造而成[1]。歷史學家查爾斯·艾倫英语Charles Allen (writer)在他2013年的記錄片《Bones of the Buddha》和著作《What happened at Piprahwa》中,研究舉證這種偽造是不可能的[2]印度學教授Harry Falk也在記錄片中聲稱這種偽造不可能。

As the question of fakes is raised by Falk himself, it is noteworthy that the author has side-stepped the Piprahwa reliquary in the India Museum, Calcutta, in all likelihood a forgery made by A. A. Führer英语Alois Anton Führer whose activities are explored elsewhere in this JRAS special issue. The decision to side-step this problem was a wise one as its inclusion would only detract from the volume as a reference work.
