I can’t imagine how much pain these monks must have been in before they died. The fact that they continued through the whole process just demonstrates their determination and faith.
They stopped short of the craziest part of the story: "After years of adhering to the strict diet and nearing starvation, a monk was then buried alive in an underground chamber. Breathing through a bamboo tube, the monk sat in a lotus position and chanted sutra in the darkness. Each day he rang a bell inside the tomb to signal that he remained alive. When the peals finally ended, the air tube was removed and the tomb."
I had an uncle that spent 30 years preparing his body for preservation and mummification and he was incased in a statue. Only we considered he drank himself to death, called the statue a coffin and buried it instead up propping it up on a shelf.
We lost my step-grandfather (on my mothers side), 42yrs ago when I was 12. All I can really remember about him was, he was real quiet and he loved to lean on stuff. He'd lean on stuff, like other people's cars, doorways, trees ect. He especially loved going out on his deck for hours, leaning on the railing and staring out across the ocean. Trouble was, he and my gramma lived in the middle of the woods, so of course there was no ocean. {0.o} Looking back, I remember he always kept a single wooden-crutch behind his back seat. I thought it was there as self-defense weapon or so he could park in the Handicapped spots. I realize now it was for just-in-case he found himself in the middle of an empty field with nothin' to lean on. {0.o}
There are alot of Mummified Monks in Thailand. When you visit some of the Temples in the rural areas you can find them. It's usually the original abbot or a very well respected Monk there at some point. They even change the robes once a year and hold a ceremony to pay respect to them.
Yeah I saw one first hand over there. I initially thought it was a statue and then when I looked closer, I could see the eyelashes and texture of skin. He was painted in gold leaf and wearing a saffron robe surrounded by flowers. It was really beautiful
I am a Ch'an Buddhist, from the same denomination of Buddhism as Liuquan. Just want to clear up two things: 1) Liuquan was not a Buddha, but a Buddhist monk and 2) the emaciated statues are NOT of the Buddha, but of Siddhārtha BEFORE he became the Buddha. He, like many mystics in his time, tried the path of aestheticism. He thought that depriving oneself of virtually everything was a path to enlightenment. He almost drowned one day while bathing as he was so weak. A woman cowherder saw him and gave him nourishment with one of her cow's milk. At that moment he realized that aestheticism was extreme and radical and was NOT the right path to enlightenment. He was still NOT a Buddha at this point and not enlightened. Having said that, he was still not doing what Liuquan and other monks were doing. Siddhārtha was starving himself, the Ch'an monks were radicals who DID eat, just a limited diet. Their diet made up about 10 minutes of their day (monks eat at lunch time and that's it) and does not reflect their beliefs and practice (which was not radical) for the other 23 hours and 50 minutes of their day. Also, it is so exceedingly rare that monks tried this diet that in Japan where it was more "common" there are only 24 ever known to try it. Chinese monks DID NOT use this diet so they would die, they wanted to live as long as they could. It was NOT a "kamikaze" diet. As for his guest saying "He did something the Buddha couldn't." like Joe he knows next to nothing about Buddhism or the Buddha so shouldn't speak on it. The inverse is true: the Buddha did many things that Liuquan couldn't do including having a far more extreme diet of complete starvation. While we might think Liuquan's diet was extreme, in comparison to Siddhārtha's starvation diet, it was tame. Lastly, FWIW the world's oldest self-mummified body is that of Huineng (638-713), the Sixth Patriarch of Ch'an. You can Google image search pictures of him and his story.
I remember Joe having some Buddha statues on the table of the old set, and always assumed he had read something of the teachings or history, but it appears I was mistaken, haha.

TO JOE OR JAIME: Joe Rogan should have a Tibetan Buddhist monk on the podcast sometime. I highly recommend you guys reach out to people like Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse Rinpoche or Alan Wallace to learn more about Buddhism, its beginnings, its transmutations across the world, what it is, what it is about, what stories of history do they have from the Pali Canon to the mystical supernatural stuff that can be found in Buddhism, Buddhism in India, Buddhism in Tibet, Buddhism throughout the world, Theravada Buddhism, Mahayana Buddhism, Buddhist Psychology, Ontology, Epistemology, and Philosophy, etc. It's great to hear you talk about Buddhism, but, and to no offense, there are several main pieces of ignorance / misconceptions that need to be cleared up about it so that you as well as all of us can see the whole picture better.

Sokushinbutsu is what the practice is called. The monks believed that if they self mummified they'd become Buddha. Only a few dozen have achieved it out of the thousands. It's a banned practice in buddism because it's pretty fuckin gnarly how they achieve it...
LOL Joe can be so relatable. There are a lot of words I have read many times, but never heard them audibly pronounced. And yes, "eschewed" is one of those words for me as well. I think I've even written it down a few times, but I've never said it and rarely, if ever heard it said.
the buddha story is about hes trying the other extreme end of "worldly desires" aka just starve to death alone. and he realized the best way is in the middle path.
I think we spend so much time trying to look like we know what we’re doing and what we’re talking that when we meet people who unapologetically and unselfconsciously say ‘I don’t know’ ‘what does that mean?’, we’re absolutely fascinated and drawn in. I wish I could just watch Joe, live, click around on the internet and learn stuff. Just a rabbit hole deep dive into anything.
It is insane. We're omnivores and we need more than just vegetables to get every nutrient we need. In fact there's a quite compelling theory that states the reason we have such big brains and were able to evolve so much faster than other animals is our ability to cook meat. It made digesting it much easier and we were able to absorb more nutrients after cooking. So there's a good chance that without meat we wouldn't be any different than our closest relatives

In legend of zelda breath of the wild, there are shrines all over the world. These shrines contain monks like this and they give you a sort of life force once you complete the shrine.
The starved Buddha depicts the historical Buddhas joirney to enlightenment. He tried methods that were common in india until he realised there was no merit in extremes like that or in pleasure seeking, so this is why he started his own philosophy of the middle way.
When moving a Buddha statue to another temple in Thailand it fell over and damaged the alabaster. They discovered the alabaster was hiding a Buddha made of gold weighing 5.5 ton. It contained a key in its base that allowed it's nine components to be dismantled.
“Buddha” is a title meaning enlightened being. The Buddha (Gautama) was around roughly 2500 years ago. According to the Buddha, there have been countless Buddhas before him & countless Buddhas will come after him. After the austere practices, the Buddha realized that was not the path to nibbana (transcending realms of mind and matter and attainment of ultimate peace and happiness) which is something to be experienced not intellectualized. After his enlightenment, The Buddha taught taking the middle path... and simple practice of sila (morality), samadhi (concentration), panna (wisdom). since his passing, many Buddhist sects have emerged (Theravada, Mahayana, Tibetan, Zen etc) It is best learn the Buddha’s teachings & practice meditation as well as keep the code of morality (5 or 8 precepts for lay people). Not everyone is ready for it but for those who stay & develop on the path of purification, the merits are immense.
@@LWLProductions I’m certainly not enlightened but my understanding is that enlightened beings transcend the realms of mind and matter and have a direct experience of nibbana which cannot be explained using words or human “intellect”.
I’ve dwelled on this quote from Lupe Fiasco for the end of his song Mural “Defeat Samsara, achieve Nirvana and Brilliance” Could you share some insight?
@@soma1990 I’m not familiar with the quote but Samsara consists of all realms of mind & matter. In Buddhist cosmology, there are many realms of existence including human realm, animal realm, ghostly realms, hellish realms, heavenly realms some which have form (matter) & mind and some purely mind (formless)... the one thing all the realms have in common is impermanence & inherent suffering that comes as a result...nibbana is a state beyond mind and matter. It’s the end of suffering. When a being attains nibbana, rebirth from one realm to another no longer takes place. However, this is not something one can wish or pray for... it’s attained through the practice of sila, samadhi, panna (Pali words). If you’re interested to learn more I can look for some books... or some links that may be helpful in better understanding the basic teachings of the Buddha.

I couldn’t explain it any better. I fast but it’s not for religious reasons.
@@soma1990 haha...the mind can play a lot of tricks... via dreams, in meditation and when taking anything that alters the state of mind... key is not to get distracted and sidetracked (easier said than done) Many people fast for health reasons. Buddhist monks/nuns eat one or two meals a day (unless medically required to eat more) they usually don’t eat anything after 12 or 1pm (can’t remember specifics of that) Some meditation retreats follow the same timeline and protocol... A good place to start learning about Buddha’s teachings is the Four Noble Truths and eightfold path. Some of teachers that have resonated with me over the years are Ajahn Chah and many of his students including Ajahn Brahm, Ajahn Sona and Ajahn Achalo. Goenka meditation centers are a good place to start learning meditation (all based on donation) Bikkhu Bodhi is a great scholar and teacher of the sutras (Theravada tradition) Best wishes

We are a Thai 2T motorcycle gang based on the island of Koh Samui, Thailand. Wat Khunaram has a mummified monk on display since his passing in 1973. He wears a pair of sunglasses added around the same period. Worth a visit if you find yourself in Thailand 🇹🇭
they have actually brought people like this back to life before, they only lived for a few days then would collapse. it was fun letting them use phones and eat McDonald's together
A leader of a buddhist temple/school in Japan told me the meaning of the skinny buddha was that they focused too much on praying and spirituality and forgot their earthly body. It was a lesson of balance from what I understood.
😂 Joe Rogan changing the subject with quickness, when the guy questioned his knowledge of Buddhism suddenly the conversation is about how many ribs you have
Well... We have 12 sets, but: 1-7 are true ribs (From vertebrae to sternum), 8, 9, 10 are false ribs (vertebrae to sternum, but they share the same attachment to the sternum) and 11, 12 are floating ribs (from vertebrae, but don't connect to sternum).
You should do a video on Doctor Maurice Bucaille and the finding of the preserved mummy. Which was 200 years old at the time of his study. And the link between his confusion as to how a 1400 year old book could possibly have knowledge of this. Undeniably fascinating.
Or even the Japanese Hydrologist Masaru Emoto and how his studies indicated to the effect spoken word had directly on water. There was a reason Prophet Muhammad and Jesus would blow words over water. Peace and blessings be on them both. Or for example no Muslim on the plant ever draws a sip of any drink without saying the words “In the name of Allah” (translation : God) before drinking. There is also an experiment by a woman who’s name I can’t remember where she did a self experiment called “The apple experiment” where she talked to two halves of an apple which were separately but similarly placed in jars. To one she said good kind words to. The other horrible mean words. In 2 weeks the one with the bad words had rottened naturally and the other surprisingly was in significantly better shape. (As far as an apple can be). It is believed it is the water content in the apple that responded to what was said as apples are 90 percent water. Human beings are made up largely of water. Take the effect of music and the Quran recitation on the human being as an example. One creates anxiety and the other removes the anxiety. I have always known the words of the Quran are healing however I wonder… is it the water in us that responds to them? Having an epiphany moment here don’t mind me. Not everything that sounds like pseudo science is wacko jacko. That’s coming from someone who has seen first hand the effects of this and if I were to anecdotally narrate it. You’d never believe me.
Many years I’ve been listening and watching this podcast. And suddenly hearing Joe Rogan quoting an article mentioning Amersfoort and the Meander medical center near my house was pretty unexpected and funny.
I mean mummies are a thing - and I find it interesting . It’s not like we have to pretend we aren’t living on a planet full of bodies and remains of god knows what
It's pronounced eS-Que-D usually...and if I recall these mummies were originally discovered because an academic found historical records of the practice, tracked one down and opened it. Then they started looking for them in other statues and found several.

That's how Buddha found the middle way. He realized that asceticism didn't bring Liberation neither did pleasure-seeking. So you have to find the middle way, the path that can't be followed. Because if you chase pleasure too much, it only leads to a hangover. If you chase asceticism, it brings no liberation. That's why Buddha found what he called the middle way. Which is basically do everything in moderation and don't obsess or hold onto anything. Buddha woke up and realize that there's no way to make yourself better outside of you here and now. You already have everything you need within you
Yea he knew and it seems alot of civilizations knew this ancient knowledge. I feel we are coming into that age of aquarius opening our minds to knowing not thinking unlocking a higher level of consciousness like our ancestors before.
Buddhism isn’t about philosophy it’s about the realization of who and what we are beneath all the stacked worldly concepts we have about ourselves and reconnecting with our original nature which is blissful, peaceful complete without things.

The reason this being did it was to hold space and it’s presence that would keep the area around safe and like ground the peaceful energy.

In fact, there is a vihara on Honeycomb Dr. that is home of a western born monk so there would be no accent. UT also is a great source of Buddhist experts

We were discussing these about 5 years ago. So glad to hear Joe discussing this!
LOL Joe can be so relatable. There are a lot of words I have read many times, but never heard them audibly pronounced. And yes, "eschewed" is one of those words for me as well. I think I've even written it down a few times, but I've never said it and rarely, if ever heard it said.
the buddha story is about hes trying the other extreme end of "worldly desires" aka just starve to death alone. and he realized the best way is in the middle path.
I think we spend so much time trying to look like we know what we’re doing and what we’re talking that when we meet people who unapologetically and unselfconsciously say ‘I don’t know’ ‘what does that mean?’, we’re absolutely fascinated and drawn in.
I wish I could just watch Joe, live, click around on the internet and learn stuff. Just a rabbit hole deep dive into anything.

That’s not how he’s saying it at all
Eventually vegetarians always get ill, their health very seriously run down.
It is insane. We're omnivores and we need more than just vegetables to get every nutrient we need. In fact there's a quite compelling theory that states the reason we have such big brains and were able to evolve so much faster than other animals is our ability to cook meat. It made digesting it much easier and we were able to absorb more nutrients after cooking. So there's a good chance that without meat we wouldn't be any different than our closest relatives

Thanks for the reminder!
The starved Buddha depicts the historical Buddhas joirney to enlightenment. He tried methods that were common in india until he realised there was no merit in extremes like that or in pleasure seeking, so this is why he started his own philosophy of the middle way.
Yep
A bit wrong i found merit but as you said they were extreme hence the middle path.
Else it would be called the only path!
And then decided to sit under a fucking tree for an extreme amount of time

This would be a cool JRE topic

“Buddha” is a title meaning enlightened being. The Buddha (Gautama) was around roughly 2500 years ago. According to the Buddha, there have been countless Buddhas before him & countless Buddhas will come after him. After the austere practices, the Buddha realized that was not the path to nibbana (transcending realms of mind and matter and attainment of ultimate peace and happiness) which is something to be experienced not intellectualized.
After his enlightenment, The Buddha taught taking the middle path... and simple practice of sila (morality), samadhi (concentration), panna (wisdom).
since his passing, many Buddhist sects have emerged (Theravada, Mahayana, Tibetan, Zen etc)
It is best learn the Buddha’s teachings & practice meditation as well as keep the code of morality (5 or 8 precepts for lay people). Not everyone is ready for it but for those who stay & develop on the path of purification, the merits are immense.
@@LWLProductions I’m certainly not enlightened but my understanding is that enlightened beings transcend the realms of mind and matter and have a direct experience of nibbana which cannot be explained using words or human “intellect”.
I’ve dwelled on this quote from Lupe Fiasco for the end of his song Mural “Defeat Samsara, achieve Nirvana and Brilliance” Could you share some insight?
@@soma1990 I’m not familiar with the quote but Samsara consists of all realms of mind & matter. In Buddhist cosmology, there are many realms of existence including human realm, animal realm, ghostly realms, hellish realms, heavenly realms some which have form (matter) & mind and some purely mind (formless)... the one thing all the realms have in common is impermanence & inherent suffering that comes as a result...nibbana is a state beyond mind and matter. It’s the end of suffering. When a being attains nibbana, rebirth from one realm to another no longer takes place. However, this is not something one can wish or pray for... it’s attained through the practice of sila, samadhi, panna (Pali words). If you’re interested to learn more I can look for some books... or some links that may be helpful in better understanding the basic teachings of the Buddha.
@@dhammadina8654 I appreciate this I will screenshot! What’s crazy about the “realms” one time when I was smoking 🌳 with my guys.. I saw a glimpse of a view it was a POV of a person in a room sitting in a chair had to be a throne cause it was raised up I remembered staircase.. but the oddest thing that stood out was a person that seemed sentient but was cloaked in flames… Now I’m realizing these could very well be the makeup of other beings. I couldn’t explain it any better. I fast but it’s not for religious reasons.
@@soma1990 haha...the mind can play a lot of tricks... via dreams, in meditation and when taking anything that alters the state of mind...
key is not to get distracted and sidetracked (easier said than done)
Many people fast for health reasons. Buddhist monks/nuns eat one or two meals a day (unless medically required to eat more) they usually don’t eat anything after 12 or 1pm (can’t remember specifics of that)
Some meditation retreats follow the same timeline and protocol...
A good place to start learning about Buddha’s teachings is the Four Noble Truths and eightfold path.
Some of teachers that have resonated with me over the years are Ajahn Chah and many of his students including Ajahn Brahm, Ajahn Sona and Ajahn Achalo.
Goenka meditation centers are a good place to start learning meditation (all based on donation)
Bikkhu Bodhi is a great scholar and teacher of the sutras (Theravada tradition)
Best wishes
Martial arts and meditation are hand to hand, joe, got greatly the difference between being content and worldly happiness, it is a cool story!
The life of boddhidharma is also very inspiring.

We are a Thai 2T motorcycle gang based on the island of Koh Samui, Thailand. Wat Khunaram has a mummified monk on display since his passing in 1973. He wears a pair of sunglasses added around the same period. Worth a visit if you find yourself in Thailand 🇹🇭
are you guys a criminal gang?
There are 2 mummified monks on Koh Samui.
they have actually brought people like this back to life before, they only lived for a few days then would collapse. it was fun letting them use phones and eat McDonald's together
The one monk was ordering a pizza on the phone when they found him collapsed

"You had to eat vegetables" - the horror, Joe!
this feels like a conversation from the og JRE
A leader of a buddhist temple/school in Japan told me the meaning of the skinny buddha was that they focused too much on praying and spirituality and forgot their earthly body. It was a lesson of balance from what I understood.
Actually these guys don't know much about Buddhism or Buddha that's why they are talking like this otherwise Joe is good guy.
These types of talks make me miss that guy Forrest Galante. Probably top 5 of rogan episodes for me. And Graham Hancock as well.
Joe just pulled a huge a cigar out of nowhere
13:23 “He seemed content” this is probably the most important sentence in this video
to me, is probably the key to save the western culture.
That's not weird,
*Takes a look
That's unreal!!
Had to do a double take and scroll through the comments to see if anyone noticed.
45 seconds in, no thanks
😂 Joe Rogan changing the subject with quickness, when the guy questioned his knowledge of Buddhism suddenly the conversation is about how many ribs you have
Well... We have 12 sets, but: 1-7 are true ribs (From vertebrae to sternum), 8, 9, 10 are false ribs (vertebrae to sternum, but they share the same attachment to the sternum) and 11, 12 are floating ribs (from vertebrae, but don't connect to sternum).

You should do a video on Doctor Maurice Bucaille and the finding of the preserved mummy. Which was 200 years old at the time of his study. And the link between his confusion as to how a 1400 year old book could possibly have knowledge of this.
Undeniably fascinating.
Or even the Japanese Hydrologist Masaru Emoto and how his studies indicated to the effect spoken word had directly on water.
There was a reason Prophet Muhammad and Jesus would blow words over water. Peace and blessings be on them both. Or for example no Muslim on the plant ever draws a sip of any drink without saying the words “In the name of Allah” (translation : God) before drinking.
There is also an experiment by a woman who’s name I can’t remember where she did a self experiment called “The apple experiment” where she talked to two halves of an apple which were separately but similarly placed in jars. To one she said good kind words to. The other horrible mean words.
In 2 weeks the one with the bad words had rottened naturally and the other surprisingly was in significantly better shape. (As far as an apple can be).
It is believed it is the water content in the apple that responded to what was said as apples are 90 percent water.
Human beings are made up largely of water. Take the effect of music and the Quran recitation on the human being as an example. One creates anxiety and the other removes the anxiety. I have always known the words of the Quran are healing however I wonder… is it the water in us that responds to them? Having an epiphany moment here don’t mind me.
Not everything that sounds like pseudo science is wacko jacko. That’s coming from someone who has seen first hand the effects of this and if I were to anecdotally narrate it. You’d never believe me.
Wtf... and damn joes 54? we're getting old. Much love to the rogan fam.

Many years I’ve been listening and watching this podcast. And suddenly hearing Joe Rogan quoting an article mentioning Amersfoort and the Meander medical center near my house was pretty unexpected and funny.
Hearing them pronounce Dutch names/words is hilarious :")
I mean mummies are a thing - and I find it interesting . It’s not like we have to pretend we aren’t living on a planet full of bodies and remains of god knows what
First and last time he says these weird names
It's pronounced eS-Que-D usually...and if I recall these mummies were originally discovered because an academic found historical records of the practice, tracked one down and opened it. Then they started looking for them in other statues and found several.
It's pronounced "Ess Chewed" in every English dictionary in the UK and US.

That's how Buddha found the middle way. He realized that asceticism didn't bring Liberation neither did pleasure-seeking. So you have to find the middle way, the path that can't be followed. Because if you chase pleasure too much, it only leads to a hangover. If you chase asceticism, it brings no liberation. That's why Buddha found what he called the middle way. Which is basically do everything in moderation and don't obsess or hold onto anything. Buddha woke up and realize that there's no way to make yourself better outside of you here and now. You already have everything you need within you
