Thread: Dead Buddhist Monk Is Alive

hoax?

Funny.
The answers are in the blank message I guess.

"Dead monk is alive" is a little misleading.

Anyway, as a Wikipedia user pointed out,
"Can we have any sources that aren't buddhist?"

...and you can clearly see that salt played a part in this "miracle" too.

Pretty damn interesting though....

"Dead" monk is alive (meaning he's not dead). Therefore, alive monk is alive. Great!

How about "once-thought-to-be-dead monk is alive"?

But he's NOT alive!

Ugh you people don't get it! *storms off ino the sunset*

Even worse than I thought. He's still very dead, his body just hasn't decayed yet. It'll be a matter of time, I'm sure.

What about the monk previously know as dead?

It's a lie what they write at the bottom. I don't remember her name, but a female christian non managed to do the same. She died, she was never burried, but she subtstained her body-state. Right now, you can watch her in some church somewhere, don't remember where though. She's in perfect state, you can't tell the difference from her and a sleeping human (except for the position she's in, ofcourse). Only her nails have rottened a bit.

Yes, not the only corpse recoded as incorruptible. They have some very odd reporting there. They used to have some jolly corpse on webcam so you could watch it not rotting in live time.

See the Wikipedia article on incorrputibility (I read it a while ago). It's quite interesting.

I'm gonna watch this 24/7, just in case!

Ha. That means they actually lie on that Buddhist site about how it is the only incorruptible body. Lie on the internet?! Yes, duh. But by Buddhists, that Does shock me.

The buddhists are not lying, the buddhist who wrote that article is lying.

Hey I saw that when I was stumbling!! Very weird....I have seen pictures tho of yogi's who assume lotus and meditate as they know when they are going to die. They are sitting up, like a statue, but definately passed.

The practitioners of self-mummification slowly starved themselves on a very strict diet, apparently causing the mummification of body tissues from the inside.[/b]

There's an idea!
Though I much prefer the whole enlightened mind leaving behind a preserved body, which is mentioned in their writings (I take some weird classes...)
I say go buddhists!

so models are actually buddhists?

Do you suppose Anna Nicole Smith is realising that now?

I am guessing he stopped his heart, and then restarted it. I am sure you could if you really "willed" it.
