The mummified remains of a meditating Buddhist monk have reportedly been discovered in Mongolia with early estimates suggesting it being at least 200 years old. Tuesday's stunning find reported by the country's Morning News revealed an ash-colored man sitting in a pensive lotus position, with no visible decay. It was discovered inside of the Songinokhairkhan province, but exactly where and how was not released. He was additionally described as found covered with some kind of cattle skin. The human remains were taken to Ulaanbataar National Centre of Forensic Expertise for further study, according to the report. It's been suggested that the man was a teacher of the famous Lama Dashi-Dorzho Itigilov whose body was found eerily preserved — also seated in the lotus position — after his own death in [B]1927[/B].[/quote] [t]https://pbs.twimg.com/media/B8bU11vIgAAdMkQ.jpg[/t]

Did he manage to meditate decomposition away?

this is a really cool read on how buddhist mummies were made: [URL]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddhist_mummies[/URL] the practice is banned today but it's still an amazing read. basically it involves adopting a diet of nuts, pine bark, etc and then being buried alive in a sort of casket full of salt and an air tube. they'd ring a bell everyday to notify the others they were alive, after some time the bell would stop ringing and the air tube would be removed. then the casket is left alone for years and you're left with natural mummification.

Failed ascension to Lichdom. Cool stuff anyway!

Oh shit I just noticed that his ears are still there, that's not common for mummies, they usually shrivel away

Seriously though, I'm always surprised how dedicated Buddhist monks can be. Starving and suffocating yourself, eating wood, willingly being buried alive, all for the sake of their religion. Or even for the sake of getting rid of scorpions, according to Wikipedia. Then there's the self-immolation.

It's surprising how well preserved it is as it's found in the capital itself, and Ulaanbaatar is growing pretty fast you'd expect it to be accidentally dug up by a construction crew(Songino Khairkhan is a district of the city, not a province)

It's amazing that they can be so dedicated to it, without being fucking mad all the time. I admire that religion.

I've always wondered How many years has to pass before it's okay to dig someone up

[QUOTE=TheTalon;47034393]I've always wondered How many years has to pass before it's okay to dig someone up[/QUOTE] 0. It's okay if there is little or no information about them. If someone hid it there, history has forgotten it or it was accidental.
