I was reading about Rainbow Body in Wikipedia when I went over the list of people that had actually achieved this rainbow body, it drove me to write this thread and let you guys know about it.

The following quote is from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbow_Body

Togden Ugyen Tendzin
Khenpo A-chos (1998)
Ayu Khandro (1953)
Nima Cultrim Rinpoche Teache of Arta Lama
Shardza Tashi Gyaltsen

A Tibetan Buddhist is reported to have achieved this in 2008.
The article also mentioned that it has been said that 100,000 of people throughout history may have achieved the rainbow body.

Article also mentioned that:

There have been a number of documented sightings of the Jalus process through the Bardo of death which may take a number of days to complete.
I did not see any evidence for this, it did not give me references. But still interesting nonetheless.


In conclusion, I listed this because I see humans as teachers to another, we should all help each other learn new things. Even though it was just a simple philosophy(rainbow body) in a pool of philosophies, I think that is better because it seems easier to learn one thing at a time.


Thank you
