Recent evidence seems to point to some Bhuddist monks intentionally adapting a lifestyle so that upon death their bodies are already well along the path of mummification and that this has been occurring for a considerable length of time, if any of the programming on mummies from the "History Channel" is to be believed.
Apparently some Bhuddist sects view the "natural" preservation of the body in death in a light similar to the old Catholic views that made it one of the requirements for sainthood at one time.
Could this be connected to this belief/practice in any way?
