UNBELIEVABLE RESSURECTION OF A BUDDHIST MONK
Deep within the AOG Ginski Dasan Temple in Siberia, a fascinating mystery unfolds around the mummified Lama Itigilov, captivating the world with the remarkably preserved state of his body. What adds an extra layer of intrigue is the belief held by some that Lama Itigilov is not truly departed; rather, he is thought to be in a profound state of meditation, a concept rooted in Buddhist beliefs.
