'''Shining Relics of Enlightened Body''' ({{bo|t=སྐུ་གདུང་འབར་བ|w=sku gdung 'bar ba}}) is numbered amongst the '[[Seventeen Tantras]] of [[Menngagde]]' ({{bo|t=མན་ངག་སྡེའི་རྒྱུད་བཅུ་བདུན|w=man ngag sde'i rgyud bcu bdun}}) within [[Dzogchen]] discourse and is part of the textual support for the [[Vima Nyingtik]].

==Translation==
Though no other predating version from the Tibetan is likely nor extant, the work is held to be a translation in the [[Nyingma]] Dzogchen tradition though no originating language is made apparent in the secondary literature. Martin (1994: p. 282) holds that [[Vimalamitra]] was assigned to the translation group that was responsible for this work:
<blockquote>"The work was translated and verified by the Indian Master Vimalamitra and the Tibetan translator Ka-ba Dpal-brtsegs."

Ka-ba Dpal-brtsegs, important in the codification of the [[Tibetan Buddhist canon]], is numbered as one of the 'twenty-five [principal] disciples' (Wylie: rje 'bang nyer lnga) of [[Padmasambhava]].<ref>Source: {{cite web |url=http://www.rangjung.com/gl/25_disciples.htm |title=Archived copy |accessdate=2010-01-30 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://archive.is/20130201001750/http://www.rangjung.com/gl/25_disciples.htm |archivedate=2013-02-01 }} (accessed: Saturday January 30, 2010)</ref>

==Relics==
'''[[Sarira]]''' are generic terms for "Buddhist relics", although in common usage these terms usually refer to a kind of [[pearl]] or [[crystal]]-like [[bead]]-shaped objects that are purportedly found among the [[cremation|cremated]] ashes of Buddhist spiritual masters recovered from [[charnel ground]]s. Sarira are held to emanate or incite 'blessings' and 'grace' (Sanskrit: [[adhishthana]]) within the [[mindstream]] and experience of those connected to them.<ref>Martin, Dan (1994). 'Pearls from Bones: Relics, Chortens, Tertons and the Signs of Saintly Death in Tibet'. ''Numen'', Vol. 41, No. 3. (Sep., 1994), p.274.</ref>

==Nomenclature, orthography and etymology==
{{Empty section|date=July 2010}}
==Overview==
Martin (1994: p. 281) relates that this Tantra, "Blazing Remains", takes the form of a dialogue between [[Vajradhara]] and the [[Dakini]] 'Clear Mind':
<blockquote>"We turn to the Nyingma tantra, the Sku-gdung 'Bar-ba ('Blazing Remains'). It belongs to the highest of three classes within the highest of the Nine Vehicles of the Nyingma school--the Precepts Class (Man-ngag Sde) of the Ati-yoga Vehicle. It is written in the form of a dialogue between the Buddha Vajradhara and the Skygoer (Mkha' - 'gro-ma) named Clear Mind (Gsal Yid)."<ref>Martin, Dan (1994). 'Pearls from Bones: Relics, Chortens, Tertons and the Signs of Saintly Death in Tibet'. ''Numen'', Vol. 41, No. 3. (Sep., 1994), p.281.</ref></blockquote>
