They have already been on show at the UN headquarters  in New York.The Buddha, originally named Prince Siddhartha, died  at the age of 80 and his relics became a matter of fierce dispute.<a href="http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5gelgY9-PDSK74ZkQt9zduyiRolTQ" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.google.com/hostednews/img/afp_logo.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a></blockquote>
