Sri Lanka's Tooth Temple in Anuradhapura seems to have a better claim to
the famous "Tooth Relic" of the Buddha. According to the island's
traditional chronology, the Buddha's teeth have been in Sri Lanka ever
since the time of Asoka, when his son went there as a Buddhist monk.
Have Dr. Mahtab and others actually seen the teeth?
