Miracle Monk | RT Documentary

Dashi-Dorzho Itigilov is a famous Buddhist monk from the Buryatia region. He lived in the 19th century, but worshippers still consider him alive. In 1927, Dashi-Dorzho Itigilov sat in a lotus pose, began to chant a prayer for the dead and entered a deep meditative state. When his body was exhumed in the early 2000s, witnesses were stunned. His body wasn’t mummified, but it didn’t decay. RT Documentary explores the science behind the miracle monk.
