Tukdam Meditation Explained: How This Buddhist Monk Lived To 200
Tibetan Buddhist Encyclopedia is now 14 years old
Our Encyclopedia recently received a wonderful opportunity for a major renewal on its 14th birthday . After many years of growing our Encyclopedia had become bit slow and sometimes even decided not to answer when people knocked on the door.
A very big thank you and blessings to Dmytro Rudiy (rudiy.nl) for his great work in upgrading the server, website and all of the infrastructure and helping make TBE fast and reliable again for everyone!
We kindly ask our readers to help us cover the cost of this important upgrade and also help with the ongoing costs of keeping the Encyclopedia alive and freely available.

Buddhist experts and scientists are saying that the 200-year-old monk who was discovered last week in Tukdam meditation in Mongolia is not dead.
According to both the Buddhist tradition and Eastern science, the 200-year-old Buddhist monk is still alive and has now entered “Rainbow State.”
Rainbow State means that a person becomes pure light (read Soonyata’s guide to Rainbow State here for an explanation)
The mummified monk was found in the province of Songino Khairkhan. It is believed that the monk is Dashi-Dorzho Itigilovm, who was born in 1852.
Despite being over 200 years old, and sitting in meditation position on the floor, the monk’s body has miraculously remained in excellent preservation. He has become the ultimate representation of those words, Om Mani Padme Hum.
How is this possible? Because of Tukdam meditation, one of the most advanced types of Buddhist techniques.
