Are we certain that this is NOT Hitlery before her makeup is applied?

Looks like he kept an eye out for evil spirits. Oooga-booga.

I have to admit, that was my first thought as well!
I lack the knowledge to ping the glyphs list, but hopefully someone else can.

Is there a difference?

That was uncalled for.
What do you have against mummified monks?

Interesting. I wonder if this monk would be considered a tulpa in Tibetan buddhism.

Sloppy reporting.
"It kept the monk in an upright position and enabled him to focus on his meditation. If he relaxed, the restrainer knot would have tightened around his neck, cutting off oxygen supply and suffocating awakening him... It was essentially to keep him in a good posture. (and awake)" It is believed when his soul consciousness left the body, a rainbow appeared across the sky and scorpions mysteriously vanished from the village.
Looks like Sangha fell asleep on the job!

About 20+ years ago, NBC did a 12-hour miniseries called "Marco Polo". It was very well done and included a visit up to one of the caves where a certain man, called "the Immortal" spent his time meditating, and at one point, he said, because of his inertia and diet, he was "slowly becoming a mummy". He looked about like the guy in this photo, too. Does anyone else remember the miniseries? I'm glad I recorded it on the first VCR I ever owned; it has been unobtainable ever since. Either NBC or Rai Television Italiano yanked it from the light of day.

There is a technique through diet whereby eastern monks mummify themselves while still alive.

I'm a big fan of Victor Mair, he has an excellent book titled,
The Tarim Mummies, about Caucasian mummies found in China. Here are some more of his discoveries.
