A mummified monk, believed to be around 200-years old was found in Mongolia. It is believed
the remains belong to a man who may have been a Lama or a teacher of Tibetan Buddha. The mummified monk was born in 1852 and was reported to have died while meditating in 1927.
This monk was in lotus position vajra, the left hand is opened and the right hand symbolizes of the preaching Sutra. This is a sign that the Lama is not dead but is in very deep meditation as he is preparing to transform.
According to Dr. Barry Kerzin, a famous Buddhist monk and a physician, that if the meditator can continue to stay in this meditative state, he can become a Buddha.
He said, “If the meditator can continue to stay in this meditative state, he can become a Buddha. Reaching such a high spiritual level the meditator will also help others, and all the people around will feel a deep sense of joy.”
There is news that this preserved monk was stolen from another part of the country and was about to sell it on the black market at a very high price. This monk is now being guarded at the National Centre of Forensic Expertise.
