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.

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.

BREAKING: Sources indicate that, although dead for 500 years, Buddhist Monk Sangha Tenzin donated heavily to the Clinton/Gore 1996 Campaign and as recently as 2002 voted straight ticket democrat on an absentee ballot in a New Orleans precinct.

I caught an hour long TV documentary on the investigation. The name escapes me, but I believe it has Tibet and/or Lama in the title. It was on one of the History or Discovery channels a couple of months ago. (maybe they hadn't watched the same show or they might not have claimed 'exclusivity.')
They looked at many aspects of what his life would have been like. Not sure that I would have made the same choices he did.
