HONG KONG - Tens of thousands of people lined up Thursday to see one of Buddha's fingers � on loan from China for 10 days � and although they were herded past in a hurry, many said the relic offered Hong Kong fresh hopes for peace and calm.

Margaret Luk's eyes welled with tears after the 70-year-old retiree spent a few moments gazing at the bone fragment, encased in bulletproof glass.

"I think the finger will protect me through the pains of life," Luk said, adding that most people aren't blessed with the chance to see such a sacred relic.

Found on Die Puny Humans.
