So apparently they can meditate for thousands of years while maintaining nearly intact skin and muscle tissue without any processes of mummification.
Which is practically IMPOSSIBLE even under extremely convenient circumstances IF you are truly deceased.
What's the secret?

No nigga, that monk just died meditating. In fact they go full meditation/trance when they are dying to face what the bardo thodol says.

Monasticism. Cleanliness means no germs to decompose with.

>not knowing how many germs he has inside in order to not die.
>>19413329
how old is this mummy supposedly?
>>19413329
That is not nearly intact, that is literally a mummified body. It happens sometimes.
a living person in a deep meditation would have a perfectly preserved body, not a sort of good preserved body. that guy's dead

are germs beneficial?
>>19413809
"Microbiome"

>>19413813
is it true that bacteria and (pro?)biotics are good to the body because of this??
>>19413329
Cold + dry conditions.

Certain types are required to survive. You wouldn't have a functioning immune system, or digest food properly, if you didn't have them inside you.
>>19413822
some people need to get a full biome of the intestine injected into them to kick start their digestive system... in other words they take shit germs from person A and inject it into the ass or person B to make the digestive system work again
It's a practice called Sokushinbutsu
In medieval Japan, this tradition developed a process for Sokushinbutsu, which a monk completed over about 3,000 days to ten years. It involved a strict diet called mokujikigyo (literally, "eating a tree"). The diet abstained from any cereals, and relied on pine needles, resins and seeds found in the mountains, which would eliminate all fat in the body. Increasing rates of fasting and meditation would lead to starvation. The monks would slowly reduce then stop liquid intake, thus dehydrating the body and shrinking all organs. The monks would die in a state of jhana (meditation) while chanting the nenbutsu (a mantra about Buddha), and their body would become naturally preserved as a mummy with skin and teeth intact without decay and without the need of any artificial preservatives. Many Buddhist Sokushinbutsu mummies have been found in northern Japan and estimated to be centuries old, while texts suggest that hundreds of these cases are buried in the stupas and mountains of Japan. These mummies have been revered and venerated by the laypeople of Buddhism.

Ive been waiting on the Bardo Thodol 17 years.
it's called dying in a cold arid shithole
The low temperature in tibet probably allows them to stay preserved. I did hear about a christian monk sect though that drank a specific type of water that contained trace amounts of arsenic that sort of embalmed them when they went to die.

when monks do this they eat a certain food that kills all bacteria inside of them

I was wondering why SMT immediately popped into my mind while reading that post. Good catch, Anon.
Why was YHWH such a prick and a jobber to some Japanese kid gang-banging him with inferior spirits?
