Two hundred year old mummified buddhist monk is not head just meditatng
Buddhist mummies, also called flesh body bodhisattvas, full body sariras, or living buddhas (Sokushinbutsu) refer to the bodies of Buddhist monks and nuns that remain incorrupt, without any traces of deliberate mummification. These are venerated by some Buddhists who believe they successfully were able to mortify their flesh to death.The practise to purposely makeundecomposed bodies is seen as controversial and contradictory to the Buddhist belief in impermanence. Many were destroyed or lost in history. Hungarian Natural History Museum recently found a Buddhist mummy inside a statue of Buddha.
