The “incorruptible body” of a Buddhist monk found in Mongolia could not be sold. Scientists are shocked
The monks of the Dinghui Monastery in Wu'an, which is located in the Hebei province in northern China, wanted to scan the mummy of the master Qi Xian stored and revered here. Recently it was even gilded as a sign of the highest respect.
Tomography of the mummy was done, as they say, at home - right in the monastery.
What motivated the monks is unknown - perhaps curiosity. Like, what's inside? But the doctors readily agreed. Recently - on July 8, 2017 - they brought equipment to the temple and performed a CT scan on the mummies. Everyone was shocked - doctors, monks, journalists, and pilgrims who had gathered to admire the research. Tomography revealed that the bones, joints and teeth of the 1000-year-old Qi Xian are like those of a living person. The brain remained unchanged.
- An incredible sight! - This is how Dr Wu Yongqing, who conducted the scan, described what he saw.
Doctors and monks are in shock: the mummy is as if alive.

Master Qi Xian was originally from India; at the end of the first millennium AD, he went to China to preach and spread Buddhism. In which he was very successful, he acquired numerous followers and students, who made a mummy out of him - after death, of course.
The mummy was considered lost until it was found hidden in a cave in the 1970s.
Recently the mummy was gilded to make it look richer.
Left: this is what the mummy looked like before, right: now it’s like this - gilded.
How the tissues of the mummies of Buddhist monks are preserved in a “healthy” state for centuries is unknown to science. But Buddhists believe that they, these monks, are not mummies at all. Because they didn’t die, but fell into hibernation—entered a state of samadhi. From which they may one day come out.
The current “miracle” is not the only one and not the first. Five years ago, a scan discovered a 1,000-year-old mummy inside a Buddha statue. About the research undertaken by Dutch and German specialists.
There is a mummy inside this statue.
Three years ago, a well-preserved 200-year-old mummified body Buddhist monk was discovered in Mongolia.

In Buryatia we also have our own miracle - the so-called “Incorruptible Lama” - Hambo Lama Dashi-Dorzho Itigelov. He died in 1927, and is now in the monastery in the form of a mummy - sitting as if alive in Tsogchen-dugan in the lotus position under a glass cover. Read more about these mummies. Another incorrupt llama was found.

Ecology of knowledge: It’s hard to believe, and it’s simply impossible to imagine that, according to scientists, the recently discovered mummy of a Tibetan monk, which is more than 200 years old, is still “alive.” Scientists in Ulaanbaatar came into the hands of a 200-year-old mummy of a Tibetan
It’s hard to believe, and it’s simply impossible to imagine that, according to scientists, the recently discovered mummy of a Tibetan monk, which is more than 200 years old, is still “alive.”
Scientists in Ulaanbaatar came across a 200-year-old mummy of a Tibetan monk, which was discovered in the province of Songinokhair Khan.
The mummy is in a sitting position in the "lotus-vajra" position, that is, the palm of the left hand is open, and the right palm is turned down and closed, symbolizing the preaching of the Sutra. According to the ancient traditions of Buddhist lamas, this state of a person indicates that the monk has not died, but is in a deep state of meditation, and the longer he remains in such an unusual oblivion, the closer he is to the Buddha.
In a detailed study of the mummy and after a number of various examinations, scientists made an unambiguous conclusion that the protein functions of the mummy’s body have an intravital state, and “the monk is still alive”, he is simply in a very long and deep trance.
According to scientists led by professor of the Mongolian Institute of Buddhist Art Genhugiyun Purevbata, the trance into which the monk entered is called “tukdam”, and the monk himself is the lama’s teacher Dashi-Dorzho Itigelova, who, of his own free will, sat in the same lotus position and, after reading the posthumous prayer, died. This event took place on June 15, 1927.
Before sitting down and dying, Itigelov prepared himself mentally and physically for almost ten years, and bequeathed to his students that he should be buried intact in a sitting position. Then, 30 years later, they came and dug it up and looked at it again, but they finally returned it only after 75 years. This is how everything was accomplished by his disciples. A cedar box was built, in which a sitting lama was placed and covered with ordinary rock salt, and then buried in the ground with all honors. Thirty years later (in 1957), Itigelov was dug up again. Those present were amazed by what they saw - the monk sat in the same position as if alive, only he was not breathing. They changed his robe, read the necessary prayers, and the same improvised sarcophagus with the monk was buried again, and was dug up again only in 2002.
In fact, the lama returned to our world, as he wanted after 75 years. A forensic examination of the city of Buryatia documented the fact that there is no natural decomposition of the body, there is not even a putrid smell. The soft tissues are elastic, the joints bend and retain their mobility, and there are no signs of any embalming or the use of any oils on the body. Even the lama’s orange robe has not lost its strength and brightness of colors.
By the way, Dashi-Dorzho Itigelov (Pardito Khambo Lama XII) is a religious Buryat figure, and in 1911-1917 he was the head of the Buddhists of Siberia.
To this day, the Lama sits on the podium, in his solemn lotus position, in the Ivolginsky Monastery specially built for him. His body can be said to be incorruptible; for 88 years now it has been in the same condition and has not been subjected to rotting or decomposition. Many believe that the lama is alive and could have returned to our world only if his body had been dug up a little earlier. Or simply the lama’s revival does not occur because those to whom he promised to return are no longer alive.
But be that as it may, in fact, we will never know this for sure, but with these examples of “living” mummies we can accurately state the fact that the power of faith is simply omnipotent and immense, and in many ways it is not yet possible for a person not to understand this, not explain.published
Two centuries ago, one Mongolian monk sat in the lotus position and remained in this state until now, having turned into a dry mummy during all this time. You might think that the Buddhist had died, but it turned out that this was not entirely true. (website)
Barry Kerzina, who is not only a personal physician, but also a good friend of the leader of all Buddhists on the planet, the Dalai Lama, said that the dried body discovered in the Mongolian province of Songinokhairkhan cannot be considered a corpse. According to a medical specialist, the monk is in a deep meditative state called tukdam, and since his consciousness is alive, then the personality itself is alive.
As a result of such long meditation, Buddhists try to achieve the highest spiritual state, bringing them closer to the Buddha himself. And the longer a person meditates like this, the closer he is to his spiritual teacher and the legendary founder of Buddhism. Kerzina is convinced that the mummy can sit like this for many more hundreds of years, while the consciousness of the Buddhist will invariably improve and comprehend new secrets of the universe, until the monk can finally compare with the Buddha in terms of spiritual experience.
The mummy was also examined by ordinary doctors, far from religion. After conducting a series of examinations and tests, the affected doctors recognized that the protein structure of the body clearly has an intravital state. Thus, according to many medical indicators, the monk is indeed alive. However, the body temperature is low and there is no cardiac activity.
Russia has its own “living” Buddhist mummy
Over the past fifty years, more than a hundred similar mummies sitting in the lotus position have been found in Asian countries. Like the monk described above, they are in a state between life and death, which official medicine cannot explain. Some monks are imprisoned in metal statues, apparently serving to protect them. Buddhists report that from such a state people no longer return to their dried-out bodies, however, they cannot be consigned to the ground, since they are by no means dead.
Let us remember that such a person also exists in Russia. From 1911 to 1917, the Buryat was the leader of the Buddhists in Eastern Siberia. In June 1927, he stopped showing visible signs of life and was placed in a sarcophagus. After this, the coffin was opened many times, but the body remained untouched after all the years. It does not rot, does not decompose, and does not even seem to dry out. The last time the “remains” of Dasha-Dorzho were checked was in October 2002, when the sarcophagus was solemnly transferred to the Ivolginsky datsan. Russian scientists then took samples of the Buddhist's tissues and were forced to admit that they corresponded to the tissues of a living person.
It is noteworthy that orthodox scientists, unable to explain such phenomena, in such cases prefer not only to remain silent, but to “hush up” the matter in every possible way, refusing to contribute to the emergence of a sensation.
by Notes of the Wild MistressThe mummified 200-year-old monk "has not died" but is in "very deep meditation" in a state of "tukdam." So says Professor Genhugiyun Purevbata, founder and professor of the Mongolian Institute of Buddhist Art in Ulaanbaatar.
Experts are confident that the man is not actually dead, there is still life in him.

The Lama sits in the vajra lotus position, his left hand is open, and right hand symbolizes the preaching of the Sutra. This is a sign that the lama has not died, but is in very deep meditation in accordance with the ancient tradition of Buddhist lamas, noted Genhugiyun Purevbata.
Over the past 50 years, about 40 similar cases have been known among Tibetan monks.
Dr. Barry Kerzina, a renowned Buddhist monk and physician to the Dalai Lama, stated that he "had the honor of caring for some meditators who were in a state of tukdam."
If a person is able to remain in this state for more than three weeks - which is rare - his body gradually shrinks, and eventually all that remains of the person is hair, nails and clothes. Usually in this case, people who live near the monk can see a rainbow that glows in the sky for several days. This means that he has found a "rainbow body". This highest state is close to that of Buddha. If the meditator can remain in this state of meditation for a long time, he can become a Buddha. Achieving such a high spiritual level of a meditator can also affect others - all people around will feel a deep sense of joy, he emphasized
It is believed that the Mongolian mummy may belong to the teacher of Lama Dashi-Dorzho Itigilov. He was a Buryat Buddhist lama of the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, best known for the realistic state of his body.
They wanted to sell the remains on the black market, but the police discovered the mummy and it is now being dealt with by specialists. The monk is currently being guarded at the National Forensic Center in Ulaanbaatar.
