  • I believe hair and nails still grow even after u die

  • you could be right, but on the condition that the body do not decompose after death

  • Why is his body black and do u know who is long po tok <-- sry if i spell wrong

  • most of undecayed thai holy monks are black in colour. dont know why. sorry. You could mean Luong Phor Toh(prounounced as Tok), Wat Pradoochimplee Bangkok. Why are you interested in him?

  • People say bad things about people and even say bad things and being disrespect to monks will get there karma, becareful of yourself, your family and frineds... karma will get you so if you want to say bad things in the future because of your unpure and stupid mind please smack yourself in the face and shut up. silence is wonderful espically when you do not have anything good to say

  • Blessing for his soul

  • the nail and the hair is still going cause, human boddy is dehidrating

  • @BryanNav ; its a common myth that hair and nails continue to grow after death, but this is not true.

    What happens is; our bodies are over 80% water. After we die, we naturally begin dehydrating, and since out skin's water gets evaporated, it begins to shrivel and shrink, and it only reveals the hair and nail growths that were already grown (while alive) and present underneath our skin.

    Our hair/nails are much longer under our skin, only some of it is exposed, thats how it all stays in place!

  • uncorrupted body..

  • the plaster is falling off. There is nothing special in it. I saw other mummified bodies in Thai monasteries. Instead of burning them, what is the tradition, they keep them for meditation purposes.

  • Saint Bernadette, Xavier and other Christain saints did not decompose. Paramahansa Yogananda did not decompose . He wrote the " Autobiography of a Yogi." Hindu , Christian and Bhuddhist saints sometimes do not decompose and stay some what incorruptible . surely they all tune into the same universal spirit and all share the same love and humility etc thanks very much for posting.

  • This phenomenon also exists in Catholicism too. The term used there is "incorruptible" rather than "undecayed"

  • @BryanNav woah seriusly?!?!

  • @bob16cl but then how about in sum case their principle would cut their nails for them?

  • @BryanNav lol how could the hair and nails still grow even after u die as no nutrition i mean condition for it to grow?
