Is this a Liche? (Self-Mummification of the Shingon Buddhist Mummies)

[Jhamin]

Talk about willpower...

First 3 years up just nuts, then 3 years of bark and roots with some sap tea near the end of the 6th year, and then you sit in a stone box lotus-style until you croak. DAMN! Talk about faith...

The really amazing thing is that Buddism doesn't teach faith. It teaches that our perception of reality is illusion and only by understanding this can we see the real world uncolored by our perception of if.

In other words, no heaven or hell. No god or devil, just understanding.

I hope these guys figured it out...
