living buddha

The mummy of the 94-year-old monk in meditation posture at Puzhou Temple, Quanzhou, China, has just been announced to the public during a religious ceremony.

Before his death, the monk in Fujian province had a non-biodegradable body considered to be a Chinese living Buddha eating only tofu with porridge, drinking very little water.

The dharma of the monk is enshrined as the Buddha living in China transformed into a beautiful golden statue 4 years after he passed away.
