The Joe Rogan Experience what if that's a real guy in there like a skeleton did you know there was a they found uh there was a Buddha statue once and they found out that it was actually a mummified Buddha that they had covered with a statue they did an x-ray on this thing and inside of it is like an actual Buddha guy like an actual Yogi who was in a Lotus position that they did the Statue around him well that's not that weird well it's weird that they didn't know it people had the statue they didn't know it was a dead guy how old was the statue that's a good question because if it was you know I mean there's tombs and mummies and everything all over the place but look at the Statue I think that's unreal that's what I want that's crazy right see like that thing he ain't clicking that thing a little thing in the corner he has to sign up to the History Channel because he's like yeah every time go could you pull back up to the images again like so is a uh a monk a mummified monk inside an ancient Buddhist statue which is wild man because I don't know what the statue is made of but it looks like it's a little bit like Pottery what does that look like medical examination of a thousand-year-old Buddha statue revealed a shocking surprise hidden inside an actual person's body so um Meander Medical Center in the Dutch town of amsterfoot of course amsterfort has plenty of experience treating senior citizens but none as old as the 1 000 year old patient who came research has brought a millennium old statue of Buddha of the Buddha which had been on loan from the drence museum in the Netherlands to the state of the art Hospital in the hopes that the modern Medical Technology should could shed light on an ancient mystery for hidden inside the gold painted figure was uh was a secret The Mummy of a Buddhist monk in a Lotus position shown outside of China for the first time last year so how do they know though that's what's confusing did they open it up did they ruin the whole thing and open it up I don't think they did man just leave it in well they sampled the material for DNA it said
hegelman slid an ancient artifacts slowly into a high-tech Imaging machine for a full body CT scan and sampled bone material real for DNA testing gastroenterologist say that word gastro gastroenterologist and say say his name now try that uh roin out Vermin flannel [Laughter] the vermish did verbiage did used a specialty a specially designed endoscope to extract samples from the mummy's chest and abdominal cavities now it's known the test have revealed a surprise the Monk's organs had been removed and replaced with scraps of paper printed with ancient Chinese characters and other rotted materials since has not been identified how the organs had been taken from the mummy remains of mystery wow that's cool I wonder why they knew there was something in there though like that's not normal that you threw a [ __ ] yeah you go into a CT scan so look scroll up there no you're right there the body inside the Statue is thought to be that of the Buddhist Master Liu Kwon a member of the Chinese meditation school who died around A.D 1100 how did luquan's body end up inside I hope I'm saying that right end up inside ancient Chinese statue one possibility explored by the drenth museum is is the gruesome process of self-mummification in which monks hope to transform themselves into revered living Buddhas oh whoa he put himself in there the practice of self-mummification amongst Buddhist monks was most common in Japan but occurred elsewhere in Asia including China as described in Ken Jeremiah's book living Buddhas monks interested in self-mummification spent upwards of a decade following a special diet that gradually starved their bodies and enhanced their chances of preservation holy [ __ ] they issued any food I never know how to say that word because they'll only read it how do you say that word eschewed issued that's a word that I've never said issued I'm 54. I've never seen that word I've seen that word but I've only read it I've never actually said it out loud any food made from rice wheat and soybeans and instead ate nuts berries tree bark and pine needles and slowly diminishing quantities to reduce body fat and moisture which can cause corpse to Decay whoa they also ate herbs
what is that word sisad kaisad scissad nuts and sesame seeds to inhibit bacterial growth holy [ __ ] they drank a poisonous tree sap that was used to make lacquer so that the toxicity would repel insects and pervade the body as an embalming fluid pervade wow [ __ ] they went on a 10-year diet to kill themselves what the [ __ ] and turn themselves in but you know that was a thing with the Buddha like there's images of the Buddha like the original Buddha that was like he was starved to death have you ever seen those no they made statues of the Buddha where he was like basically a skeleton they're they're weird statues and that was a I guess a part of that process see if you can find any of those um skeleton-like Buddha statues how would you say it starved Buddha statues but that was like a thing that they would they would make these images of the Buddha in this state where he was apparently probably going through that thing like yeah those oh oh [ __ ] what the [ __ ] that's like some man of Indiana Jones that's scary see go to that quora um thing what is the emaciated body of the Buddhist State statue represent uh they're not really good not good answers sometimes by anybody though but let's see it represents the six-year period of renunciation that the Buddha practiced from age 20 to 36 approximately 446 to 440 BC based on traditional Indian especially uh saramana belief in self-mortification before he realized the futility of extreme asceticism and renounced it as when as well when he was on the verge of dying so he wised up so the Buddha did the same thing those monks did and he was like what the [ __ ] am I doing he stopped he stopped what the [ __ ] am I doing I'm pronounced this but look he had gotten to the point of basically almost death so that practice since okay so that's 446 BC so this that statue was older than that so the statue is a thousand years old right it was a thousand BC wasn't it no no no it was a thousand years a thousand so it was a thousand A.D right yeah so this was pre that so that guy was probably he didn't get the full wire that the Buddha bailed on he didn't get the facts yeah he didn't get the full details so he decided Well the Buddha
was a [ __ ] yeah and he quit and to do what the Buddha couldn't do I'm not a [ __ ] quitter I want to be a statue [ __ ] I'm gonna be better than the Buddha but that's the whole Buddhist monk thing is an odd practice anyway right because I'm a dumbass can you just explain is there's more than one Buddha right or has been or well there's the Buddha and there's like thought to be the look at that image of them whoa look at his guts all right so I was wondering what it feels like holding something or what that is I think that just representing his hands man that's his hips buddy oh that's that's no stomach at all this is organs had shrunk up yeah I think he's got too many ribs though this [ __ ] need to take an anatomy lesson does he have too many ribs how many ribs do you have do you even know how many ribs some of it's a muscle 26. I made that up completely so I'm just because there's muscle up there but they look different than the other one to the left that one looks more realistic like that one there the the tan looking yeah that looks more realistic see that looks like real ribs look at these sunken eyes so look at the ribs on that one and look at the ribs on that gray one right there that gray one looks fake as [ __ ] it's too many ribs how many ribs do you think you have I don't know how many ribs you have I'm going 26 26 you mean both sides no all up 26. I might be thinking of teeth I might be confused I don't know how many teeth you have either but if you say think of how many ribs you have on each side let me guess let me without touching my own ribs one two three four one I might have gone a bit too soon I'm gonna stick with it I'm gonna say 22. I'm gonna say I'm gonna say 11 on each side 12 on each side is it 12 oh 12 pairs 24. you're pretty close we're right in the middle you said 22. yeah so but what look at his though look at that one that one weird one that we just saw that [ __ ] guy had like 50. how many has he got he's got [ __ ] tons which I like about that look at that nice muscle he's got going on you like that look at that look at that nice muscle he's got going on there bro that's skin yeah that guy that is that's tendon that probably that guy can't curl a [ __ ] peptide Jack of
white out like I didn't lift no you lift bro you lift bro how many has he got there he's got too many let's count them he looks like Predator he's got too many they put nipples on him though too it's like the Batman suit how many has he got one two three four five six seven eight nine ten eleven twelve thirteen fourteen fifteen sixteen Seventeen yeah he's got too many ribs they didn't know what the [ __ ] they were doing it's all fake fake news fake news this is [ __ ] fake news bro but that's a that whole Buddhist monk thing the suffering thing is a strange thing I have I had a friend who became a monk yeah yeah I became a monk while I knew him he was a friend of mine from Taekwondo his name is Joe and uh we used to train together and he just decided at one point in time that he wanted to uh go to this uh Buddhism this Buddhist temple to learn Buddhism and to to he wanted to get control over his mind because he got very nervous during sparring and got very nervous um when he when it came time for training and and competing he competed a few times too he would just like lose his [ __ ] and he was he's like maybe meditation would help me get through this so he started meditating and taking these uh like Buddhist practices and doing this time at the temple and then uh switched to a strict vegetarian diet and then completely quit doing Taekwondo and just became a monk and we used to go visit him and uh we used to go visit Joe the monk where did he live at a monastery yeah he lived in a monastery he swept up at a temple it was very odd because I knew him before that and you know he was a guy that we would train with yeah right and then over time he became a monk and you know he silent no no he would talk and he would laugh and joke around with you and stuff but like you would only eat vegetables and he would uh he would never speak badly about anyone or anything it was really interesting did he see him happy is a weird thing like what has happened like he didn't he's in content he didn't have a mate he didn't have a wife or a boyfriend or he didn't you know he didn't have there was no one in his life that you know he it seemed like it was just him and meditation and silence and he would like uh he had a co-on you know
like there's a thing you're supposed to meditate on I think that's what a koan is and like his was the sound of like it was like one of those the sound of one hand clapping thing oh yeah right I don't think that was it but it was that kind of thing where he's falling in the woods runs around well it's you're supposed to think about it like constantly even though it doesn't necessarily make sense and the idea is like that through that you somehow or another achieve enlightenment by focusing on this one thing over and over and over and over again I mean when maybe that's like some sort of a brain hack but I remember I was a kid at the time when he did this I was uh probably 16 something like that it was 15 when I knew him and then maybe like 16 17 when he when he became a monk and we would go visit him it was very it was very strange we go to eat with him we'd have to eat vegetables would he come out and go into the wherever you were yeah he was like a good place to go and go and have some drinks this was in Boston he would no he wouldn't have drinks no way he just drank water and tea um and he was uh he was different man like he he was all in like he had decided that that was his life and you know he was subscribing to all of their belief systems and their practices and did you and your friends ever at any stage think we got to get him out of there like maybe he's being brainwashed or something or no I mean he was older than us you know it's like we we weren't in a position to tell him what to do right because we were all all of us were like uh around the same age maybe they I was the youngest guy but only by like a year or two and I think Joe was like 30ish so we were like teens early 20s and this guy was in his 30s and he was hanging around a bunch of teenagers well he was training with us okay I wasn't hanging out we were all training at the same uh Taekwondo school and you know he just decided that that was his life and he seemed content I'll say that it didn't seem like happy is like you're around someone they got a big smile on their face they love what they do like happy as you catch a big fish yeah right well yeah yeah he wasn't that but he
seemed like he was on this path and this path provided him some sort of clarity or some peace in his life that he seemed was worth sacrificing all like he didn't have sex he was done and we were joking around with him about that like like that's it forever no more sex did he jack off no no masturbation holy [ __ ] I know that's what I say maybe he [ __ ] a pillow maybe you know maybe he's in a trance you know how monks [ __ ] pillows you know yeah pretended I don't know what he did you know but he uh he was the first guy that I ever met that sort of like left society and he I remember he stayed at this Temple that we we knew where the temple was we'd go see him there I have nine people that have done that kind of left Society but not that deep like they've gone to a remote island in Indonesia and they just Surf and yeah you know I've heard of that before yeah I know people that have sort of like dropped out and you know live in a small town live in a log cabin and [ __ ] and I've thought about it I think it'd be good I'd get too frustrated I think there's something to that there's something to like being in the woods and there's something to just being alone with nature
