- Q285632 abstract "Sokushinbutsu (即身仏) refers to a practice of Buddhist monks observing austerity to the point of death and mummification. This process of self-mummification was mainly practiced in Yamagata in Northern Japan between the 11th and 19th century, by members of the Japanese Vajrayana school of Buddhism called Shingon ("True Word"). The practitioners of sokushinbutsu did not view this practice as an act of suicide, but rather as a form of further enlightenment. Those who succeeded were revered, while those who failed were nevertheless respected for the effort.It is believed that many hundreds of monks tried, but only 24 such mummifications have been discovered to date. There is a common suggestion that Shingon school founder Kukai brought this practice from Tang China as part of secret tantric practices he learned, and that were later lost in China.There is the existence of at least one "self-mummified" 550 years old corpse of a Buddhist monk named Sangha Tenzin in India, visible in a temple in Gue village, Spiti, Himachal Pradesh. This mummy was found in 1975 when the old stupa preserving it collapsed. Virtually all stupas contains relics, so it could be possible that several other mummies hide inside of ancient stupas all over the Himalaya and Tibet. The mummy has been carbon dated between 550 and 600 years ago. The monk was likely a dzogpa-chenpo practitioner. A scientific team believes the mummification process was possible because his tantric practice involved total abstinence from food, eliminating intestinal bacteria and fats: "Mair draws parallels between Sangha Tenzin and a Buddhist monks of Yamagata in northern Japan...". The preservation of the mummy for at least 5 centuries has been possible also thanks to the aridity of the area, protected from the Monsoon by the Himalayan range. Although the tradition of "self-mummification" could have spread into the Western Himalaya from China, it's not possible to exclude that the origin of Sokushimbutsu lies in tantric practices af ancient India.Today, the practice is not advocated or practiced by any Buddhist sect, and is banned in Japan.".
