I remember few years ago in news when archeologist or some people working to repair a temple found a very old statue of Budha which later turned out it had a monk in it. Other monks had told them not to disturb him, since hes not dead but still meditating😬
For the people wondering, the sunglasses on the mummy are real, and were placed there by the staff to cover up the decomposed eye sockets to make him look less disturbing.
This whole practice is extremely unnerving to me. It made me feel chills down my spine as I imagined what it would be like to live each day suffering like that and finish off my life by being put into a box underground by my friends knowing I was never coming back from there. All I have is a bell, and that's the only way they will know I'm still left in the darkness to die... it sounds like a living nightmare
Funnily enough, the man in the thumbnail is "Li Ching-Yuen" who supposedly lived 256 years. They actually found proof from the emperror congratulating him on this 100th and 150th birthday in the 1800's... But since he died in 1933 they could have never really confirm his age, beside those letters from the emperor and some proof stating that he was in the army in his 70s and 80s a while back. There definitely has to be someone older than Jeanne Calmant that wasn't officially recorded by guinness, but 256 would be double her age and really hard to believe... but what if?
To be fair to him, that Thai bloke is looking incredible for his age! I mean, he still looks like a real man, even if it's fairly evident by now that he is, in fact, also a really dead man. He's got good taste in sunglasses too...

I find there to be some kind of great irony about those who believe that it’s all about preparation to become one with all living things and the ultimate symbol of their devotion to this practice is to make their bodies incapable of being broken down and absorbed into nature.

Thats the point my friend, they are interupting the cycle as a way to escape it. The entire concept is to ultimately remove yourself from the cycles, which is why the concept of the Dalai Lama is so profound, because he is stalling his process of "ascencion" so that he can continue his work after his last life was exstinguished.
This is really amazing, humans who achieve what seems to be the impossible is always motivating to me. And as disturbing as this is, this is incredible, these men truly were divine
This extremism is the sole thing that Buddha himself threw away after torturous 6 yrs because he understood it wasn't the path to enlightenment. Buddhism never encourage extremism because nothing in extreme will help you attain nibbana or nirvana These monks were more like Hindu brahmana monks who tried this method in Buddha's era in India

I dislike that people call it a religion, when buddha would have never wanted it to be that way. He was more a teacher and nothing more. Not an image to be worshipped and praised. Just like any old religion or dogma, throughout time and translation it gets disturbed and changed into something completely different from what it actually was.
Oh that's not surprising. My Japanese grandma who drinks matcha everyday celebrated her 880th birthday. That's why we have the oldest population in the world.
0:28, being a South Indian I just wants to inform to the viewers of this video is that it's a Cultural form called "Theyyam " practicing in my home state, Kerala.

I swear ive started binge watching your vids when im not working great videos and i can actually pay attention with my add props to you man better than any teacher i had in school
@@blizzard1198 Yes we can, but will we continue to in the future? Thoughty2 is known for changing the names of videos he makes once or twice after the first upload, which can completely throw you off with how different they can be... Record-keeping like this is a consequence of such.
Thanks for explaining this practice Thoughty2! And Let's explain some facts that was missed in the video! First of all, If you want to be a Buddhist monk, you have to remove all your hair (go bald!) and even shave the eyebrows and the beard too! (even so, in some cases you can see some monks have beards sometimes... but they have a set of rules to follow) so, anyone can't casually put a robe and go with your Manly beard and the Mohawk saying "Imma be a monk!". The Second thing is that there are some factions even among the Buddhists! As you've already know, some of them are Mahayana, Therawada (sometimes known as Heenayana, specially by Mahayana people) and the Zen! But actually, Buddha never agreed on extreme asceticism and hedonism as others before me explained well! But what we have to get from this mummification process is the devotion & dedication to something that you want to achieve! Even Buddha himself had a Strong dedication to achieve enlightenment and he said himself that " I will not stand up from this place until I achieve the state of Buddha!" on the Night before he achieved the enlightenment! And we have to praise Mahayana and Zen monks for their dedication to Be spiritual as much as they can! Sometimes you can find such extreme examples like these and overall you can say their work is amazing! It's not that Theravada was less spiritual... Even after the Buddha's time, You can see there were many monks (I mean Tens of thousands) Who achieved the enlightenment! and still there are many Theravada monks who are living a spiritual life in the modern world! The third thing is that enlightenment isn't just a moment that you see the truth or something! That might be somewhat true for some scenarios but in Buddhism, It is described as a state where you are free from the mortal desires, feelings and the cycle of reincarnation! They describe is as the state of true happiness, true immortality and etc. And the Most important thing is, It is permanent! Once you achieved it for real, You don't have to be worried about losing that state! It is really called "Nirvana" in Buddhism ALSO, IF SOMEONE HERE IS A MUCH EXPERT ON THIS TOPIC, PLEASE COMMENT DOWN A BETTER EXPLENATION! MY VOCABULARY IS A BIT LIMITED SINCE MY NATIVE LANGUAGE ISN'T ENGLISH!
Fun fact:One of the biggest reason why they wanted to do this is for stop famine,epidemic or something like that happening. They wanted to take all of suffer that people have, so they won’t suffer from it anymore. And some of them have to change their clothes two times each year for some reason such as cleaning them or prevent it from getting moldy, And their old clothes will cut to tiny pieces and putted into omamori amulet,the small bag made of silk or something. And you can buy it! And I mean, if there’s some artifacts that has spiritual power, This piece of cloth that once was covered great monk’s corpse that sacrificed himself for people is definitely one of them! I’m sorry if my English was bad.
An epiphany, which the fictional Neo had, is not enlightenment but a glimpse of a truth. Enlightenment is a total theological and philosophical make over that transcends all doubt and conflicting ideas leading to an eternal truth and understanding. Thanks Thoughty! Good episode. Lvya
I caught that too, but the way you worded it goes to show your too smart for this comment section. Epiphany: uh oh. Are you too smart or are the rest of us just too .... 🤚 don't want to know.
Neo has epiphanies throughout the film. The "stopping bullets" scene is what all that added up to, completing his "make over", where the walls fall away, so to speak, and Neo sees reality for what it is (i.e. not just an epiphany). I would I agree with 42, and say that the scene is a pretty good analogy of enlightenment, rather than just a "glimpse of a truth."
In india some people still follow ancient tradition 1. years with guru. 2. years in family life. 3. instead of retiring in the civilization retire in forest. 4. reject all desire and become a hardcore monk. (final stage of life) Sanyas stage. Wiki Sanyasi for more info it is deep.
the dedication to this tradition, to give up your life in order to achieve a state of "nirvana" of this degree, only the japanese could imagine something like this. truly an amazing and very interesting video. thanks thoughty.
Monks in India & Tibet have also demonstrated an absolute devotion to moksha or nirvana that transcends the bondage of the physical self in ways that would appear torturous to outsiders as well. I admire this clarity.
I really don't wanna die,even tho I'm still young but I keep thinking about it every night,about how it would be when I died,about how short life is,good video thoughty,but why did you have to remember me this when I had forgotten it finally
Take it from somebody who is older: Worrying about the unavoidable is absolutely pointless. Life is short and youth even more so. Have some goals but don't forget to enjoy yourself as well, so when the day comes, the things you can be proud of outweigh your regrets. If you really feel you need to live forever, make the world so much better, it will never forget your name. P.S.: Just to be on the safe side - "Better" never involves lots of people dying 😉 🙏

The Japanese version of Buddhism is nothing like what was taught by the Buddha. It's a combo of Japanese ancestor worship and Shinto, with only a mention of Buddhist philosophy.
Its seems to me that he was off base with this one. ! The Japanese man who lived to be really old (dont recall the age) was well documented. Whats a mummy got to do with living 500 years?

Sometimes living and serving humanity in the world are more challenging than introspection, solitude, and slow-perfect-chemical-induced suicide, and it lasts much longer until we die naturally.
There was a comparison between Western and Eastern Monks in the book Concentration by Mouni Sadhu. Where he saw tombs of Western Monks in abundance, undecayed. You might find the book fascinating.
Reminds me of the sadhus in Himalayan mountains said to be living on just dew or not eating at all but in suspended animation. Interesting that it's so similar. I remember a story my grandfather told me, that one of his friends had joined sanyansi hood or saint hood and moved near Himalayas . They said he met by chance with a sadhu doing upsana or prayers for more than one fifty years in search of moksha. They were not supposed to disturb him .i guess it's same suspended animation but in cold because mind you it's on very remote areas near gangotri in Himalayan ranges. They train their body to overcome everything,n that is first stage of moksh. Eventually my grandfather's friend came back to main valley with fellow sanyansi group n lived that life. They were not that extreme as the one's on extreme areas doing prayers. This reminds me of that...hmmph. n they also were very skinny like skeleton, YET he said that person was living for so long but in state of meditation. Idk how much of it is true but similar stories are present in hindu sadhus. It's the ultimate goal for anyone trying to gain moksh nearer to God i think.
Next week: treading on Instagram or the like: "new diet from ancient Japan, Experts say will make you look 400 years younger" The pine needles are trending
I watched a video about the monk that mummified himself, and they put sunglasses on him(since his eyes degraded) you can still go take pictures of him. Also, I'd like an explanation to why the mountain water has arsenic in it...
Arsenic is naturally present in some rocks, and it can dissolve into the water supply. Public water utilities have maximum allowable levels of arsenic (very low levels) for drinking water. Arsenic is, overall, bad for people’s health (although it was used as medicine in the 19 and early 20th centuries). But I can see how it would be a feature instead of a bug if you’re trying to mummify yourself, and you don’t want pesky insects and rodents eating your incorrupt body.
@@censusgary So it's a naturally produced compound? Interesting, I never knew that. In regards to a survival situation, how unlucky would that be? Finding arsenic water..
@@mattw6705 Arsenic is a chemical element (atomic number 33), not a compound. But, yes, it occurs naturally, and is fairly abundant on earth. I once heard a wilderness survival instructor say if you find a water hole, you should look for bugs and whatnot swimming in the water, as proof that the water doesn’t have deadly levels of arsenic or other poisons. Then, of course, you have to boil the water and strain it before you drink it.
@@mattw6705 yeh arsenic is damn nigh everywhere on earth, incredibly common. A lot of plants use it as a pesticide as it's so easily taken up by the roots.
And yet there is absolutely no point to achieving such enlightenment other than serving your own personal desire to get it. You cease to exist, end the cycle of rebirth, help nobody else - the end.

Thanks for explaining this practice Thoughty2!
And Let's explain some facts that was missed in the video!
First of all, If you want to be a Buddhist monk, you have to remove all your hair (go bald!) and even shave the eyebrows and the beard too! (even so, in some cases you can see some monks have beards sometimes... but they have a set of rules to follow) so, anyone can't casually put a robe and go with your Manly beard and the Mohawk saying "Imma be a monk!".
The Second thing is that there are some factions even among the Buddhists! As you've already know, some of them are Mahayana, Therawada (sometimes known as Heenayana, specially by Mahayana people) and the Zen!
But actually, Buddha never agreed on extreme asceticism and hedonism as others before me explained well! But what we have to get from this mummification process is the devotion & dedication to something that you want to achieve! Even Buddha himself had a Strong dedication to achieve enlightenment and he said himself that " I will not stand up from this place until I achieve the state of Buddha!" on the Night before he achieved the enlightenment!
And we have to praise Mahayana and Zen monks for their dedication to Be spiritual as much as they can! Sometimes you can find such extreme examples like these and overall you can say their work is amazing! It's not that Theravada was less spiritual... Even after the Buddha's time, You can see there were many monks (I mean Tens of thousands) Who achieved the enlightenment! and still there are many Theravada monks who are living a spiritual life in the modern world!
The third thing is that enlightenment isn't just a moment that you see the truth or something! That might be somewhat true for some scenarios but in Buddhism, It is described as a state where you are free from the mortal desires, feelings and the cycle of reincarnation! They describe is as the state of true happiness, true immortality and etc. And the Most important thing is, It is permanent! Once you achieved it for real, You don't have to be worried about losing that state! It is really called "Nirvana" in Buddhism
ALSO, IF SOMEONE HERE IS A MUCH EXPERT ON THIS TOPIC, PLEASE COMMENT DOWN A BETTER EXPLENATION! MY VOCABULARY IS A BIT LIMITED SINCE MY NATIVE LANGUAGE ISN'T ENGLISH!
thank You for your time.
@@0BeatFlaT0 No problem... it was so interesting that I forgot that I wrote too much!😅
Namaste
Fun fact:One of the biggest reason why they wanted to do this is for stop famine,epidemic or something like that happening.
They wanted to take all of suffer that people have, so they won’t suffer from it anymore.
And some of them have to change their clothes two times each year for some reason such as cleaning them or prevent it from getting moldy,
And their old clothes will cut to tiny pieces and putted into omamori amulet,the small bag made of silk or something.
And you can buy it!
And I mean, if there’s some artifacts that has spiritual power,
This piece of cloth that once was covered great monk’s corpse that sacrificed himself for people is definitely one of them!
I’m sorry if my English was bad.
An epiphany, which the fictional Neo had, is not enlightenment but a glimpse of a truth. Enlightenment is a total theological and philosophical make over that transcends all doubt and conflicting ideas leading to an eternal truth and understanding. Thanks Thoughty! Good episode. Lvya
Brilliant comment.
What you describe as enlightenment is the process Neo goes through, throughout the entire film.
I caught that too, but the way you worded it goes to show your too smart for this comment section.
Epiphany: uh oh. Are you too smart or are the rest of us just too ....
🤚 don't want to know.
Neo has epiphanies throughout the film. The "stopping bullets" scene is what all that added up to, completing his "make over", where the walls fall away, so to speak, and Neo sees reality for what it is (i.e. not just an epiphany). I would I agree with 42, and say that the scene is a pretty good analogy of enlightenment, rather than just a "glimpse of a truth."
@@DeltaCodeGames I'm pretty sure that "42" is actually a guy saying "Thoughty 2" with an accent + a speech impediment.
I’m convinced he doesn’t even try to say ‘thoughty’ anymore, jus forty two 😭😂
Maybe he reached enlightenment. :D
made me feel horribly ill and gave me chills the whole way through, amazing video 10/10
I felt the same way with the gravedigger vid he put out.
In india some people still follow ancient tradition 1. years with guru. 2. years in family life. 3. instead of retiring in the civilization retire in forest. 4. reject all desire and become a hardcore monk. (final stage of life) Sanyas stage. Wiki Sanyasi for more info it is deep.
this reminds me a lot of "the ice man Wim Hof" who can literally use willpower to control his body temperature. WHEN WILL YOU DO A VIDEO ON HIM?!

Not just at home- I don’t recommend trying it anywhere.

Monks in India & Tibet have also demonstrated an absolute devotion to moksha or nirvana that transcends the bondage of the physical self in ways that would appear torturous to outsiders as well. I admire this clarity.

I really don't wanna die,even tho I'm still young but I keep thinking about it every night,about how it would be when I died,about how short life is,good video thoughty,but why did you have to remember me this when I had forgotten it finally
Go see a psychiatrist. You shouldn’t have to go around thinking about this. :(
Take it from somebody who is older:
Worrying about the unavoidable is absolutely pointless.
Life is short and youth even more so.
Have some goals but don't forget to enjoy yourself as well,
so when the day comes, the things you can be proud of outweigh your regrets.
If you really feel you need to live forever,
make the world so much better, it will never forget your name.
P.S.: Just to be on the safe side - "Better" never involves lots of people dying 😉

I wonder what new title this one is gonna have,
Starting title: How a Japanese Man 'Lived' For 550 Years
as in after it has had a bunch of views, the title changes? i swear i have noticed that before but came to the conclusion i was mistaken...
@@andrewhay3317 It's been said before by other creators that the algorithm favors certain combinations of words and formulations of titles, so they will change them after upload, sometimes weeks or months later in order to attract more views. The thumbnail may have the original title while the actual text title is something the creator put together as clickbait.
I dont even care if what you tell us is true, cuz you bring a priceless wonder to the world that is worth more than anything! Peace n love!
Belief is so much more powerful than people really can fathom. I think it is the true reason behind what religious groups refer to as miracles
I saw a giant tortoise at the zoo that was born in 1832 and he is still kicking
my financial planner said i can only afford to live until 85
@Dark Rider .. not if you’re Japanese, which would be 85, if I remember correctly .. or maybe 550
I wonder if when they were put in the boxes to die, they could ring the bell a certain way and be dug back up? I guess at that point you’re so weak and also dedicated that you wouldn’t want to reconsider life, but I do wonder if that ever happened.
Bucket List: Try and meet with Thoughty2. Just get a coffee and talk.

"How a Japanese Man 'Lived' For 550 Years" I missed the answer to this question.
Thoughty2 offers the best 15+ minutes of my day. I particularly enjoy videos that explore oddities from other cultures.
I love how he's just taking a piss out of this whole thing
Quite respectfully tho
I love learning about other cultures & religious beliefs.
Thank you, I probably wouldn't have wandered across this!

If you didn't know already, there was a sage named prahlad jani who passed away recently in India who didn't eat or drink at all and he'd been doing so for 70+ years. Any thoughts?

The Japanese version of Buddhism is nothing like what was taught by the Buddha. It's a combo of Japanese ancestor worship and Shinto, with only a mention of Buddhist philosophy.
Its seems to me that he was off base with this one. ! The Japanese man who lived to be really old (dont recall the age) was well documented. Whats a mummy got to do with living 500 years?
Love the video! Thanks for all your hard work. Such interesting information about those monks. I noticed your podcast has been updated for a while. Are you still working on that?
Funny how that cartoon character who goes 'through the "process"' looks a lot like Thoughty 2 does at the time of this production.

There’s another game called Sekiro. Amazing game. Won tons of awards. I believe has these monks as well. It’s made by Japanese. It’s the best ninja game you will ever play
ninja i think you meant shinobi (ninja and shinobi is not the same thing)
@@yamiru3417 That’s facts. You’re right. The word ninja came much later and I think was more adopted for American culture
Yeah thanks for reminding me. My ps4 broke shortly after I finally got the game. I had mostly forgotten. Lol
Oh wait no I was thinking of the other samurai hame that is a ps4 exclusive. That one you rentioned is the Dark Souls level hard one, huh?
@@5trezip23 I can’t say for sure. I’ve never played dark souls but from what I’ve read, it’s about as hard as dark souls. And it is hard! I can beat a boss once after 100 tries but come back a month later and nope!! Lol
Could t link from breath of the wild also be considered one of these monks? But successful? His body was preserved in a form of stasis for 100 years, until he came back, with full movement and no physical changes
And then he became captain America
I don’t think so since Link’s stasis was very different to the stasis of the monks
@@anironfarm6056 How was it different? Explain
@@THome92 the way I interpret is is that the monks meditated so hard that they didn’t die, with maybe a little bit of technology to help. Link had a big, special, magic technology that brought him back from the edge of death, albeit with no memories
They had mummified monks I. That game too crazy

There was a comparison between Western and Eastern Monks in the book Concentration by Mouni Sadhu. Where he saw tombs of Western Monks in abundance, undecayed. You might find the book fascinating.

He didnt
Reminds me of the sadhus in Himalayan mountains said to be living on just dew or not eating at all but in suspended animation. Interesting that it's so similar. I remember a story my grandfather told me, that one of his friends had joined sanyansi hood or saint hood and moved near Himalayas . They said he met by chance with a sadhu doing upsana or prayers for more than one fifty years in search of moksha. They were not supposed to disturb him .i guess it's same suspended animation but in cold because mind you it's on very remote areas near gangotri in Himalayan ranges. They train their body to overcome everything,n that is first stage of moksh. Eventually my grandfather's friend came back to main valley with fellow sanyansi group n lived that life. They were not that extreme as the one's on extreme areas doing prayers. This reminds me of that...hmmph. n they also were very skinny like skeleton, YET he said that person was living for so long but in state of meditation. Idk how much of it is true but similar stories are present in hindu sadhus. It's the ultimate goal for anyone trying to gain moksh nearer to God i think.

I watched a video about the monk that mummified himself, and they put sunglasses on him(since his eyes degraded) you can still go take pictures of him. Also, I'd like an explanation to why the mountain water has arsenic in it...
Arsenic is naturally present in some rocks, and it can dissolve into the water supply. Public water utilities have maximum allowable levels of arsenic (very low levels) for drinking water. Arsenic is, overall, bad for people’s health (although it was used as medicine in the 19 and early 20th centuries). But I can see how it would be a feature instead of a bug if you’re trying to mummify yourself, and you don’t want pesky insects and rodents eating your incorrupt body.
@@censusgary So it's a naturally produced compound? Interesting, I never knew that. In regards to a survival situation, how unlucky would that be? Finding arsenic water..
@@mattw6705 Arsenic is a chemical element (atomic number 33), not a compound. But, yes, it occurs naturally, and is fairly abundant on earth.
I once heard a wilderness survival instructor say if you find a water hole, you should look for bugs and whatnot swimming in the water, as proof that the water doesn’t have deadly levels of arsenic or other poisons. Then, of course, you have to boil the water and strain it before you drink it.
@@mattw6705 yeh arsenic is damn nigh everywhere on earth, incredibly common. A lot of plants use it as a pesticide as it's so easily taken up by the roots.

And yet there is absolutely no point to achieving such enlightenment other than serving your own personal desire to get it. You cease to exist, end the cycle of rebirth, help nobody else - the end.
