The phenomenon of Khambo Lama Itigelov, with all its obviousness and openness to scientists, is not subject to modern biological science in principle
In Buryatia, a conference “Phenomenon of the XII Pandito Khambo Lama Dasha-Dorzho Itigelov” was held, dedicated to the phenomenon of the incorruptibility of the body of Lama Itigelov. 130 theologians, journalists and secular scientists from all over the world, gathered in the Ivolginsky datsan, tried to understand the reasons why for 80 years since the death of Khambo Lama, his body has not been touched by decay.
The “Itigelov Phenomenon” is not only badly consistent with current scientific doctrines, but contradicts them in principle. But at the same time, on the one hand, it is open to scientists, and on the other, it finds an explanation in the fact of faith and is fully consistent with the doctrine of Buddhism, which is based on the teaching of the Four Noble Truths.
XII Pandito Khambo Lama (in the world of Dasha-Dorzho Itigelov) was born in 1852. In 1911 he was elected XII Pandito Khambo Lama, the head of all Russian Buddhists. In 1917, he resigned from the post of Hambo Lama, and in 1927 he passed away, bequeathed to get his body out of the ground. The body of Khambo Lama Itigelov in the lotus position was placed in a sarcophagus and buried.
In September 2002, the sarcophagus was raised, and upon opening it, it turned out that the Lama's body had not decayed. According to the forensic medical expert, Doctor of Medical Sciences Viktor Zvyagin, the body of the lama has no pronounced posthumous changes. The joints are flexible, the skin is elastic. Using infrared spectrophotometry, it was shown that the protein fractions of the Hambo Lama have in vivo characteristics.
According to Vostok-Teleinform, at a conference held in Buryatia, an expert from India Jampa Sandapa expressed the opinion that Itigelov is still in long-term meditation, and cited examples from the history of Buddhism, when yogis reached the same state. The abbot of the Ivolginsky datsan Dagba Lama Ochirov noted in his report that Itigelov had reached the highest state in Buddhism associated with the awareness of emptiness.
Perhaps Khambo Lama Itigelov reached a state of samadhi, in which a person's breathing and heart rate sharply decreases, and the metabolism slows down. According to the teachings of yogis, during samadhi, a person's consciousness functions, but does not manifest itself in the form of feelings and logical thinking, from which a person, on the contrary, is freed. One who has attained samadhi can arbitrarily regulate his life processes.
In addition to the phenomenon of the incorruptibility of the body Khambo Lama Itigelov, the conference discussed his spiritual heritage, prophecies, as well as some philosophical aspects of Buddhism.
