Buddhist monk smiled two months after death
Revered Buddhist monk Luang Pho Pian died due to illness on November 16, 2017 in Bangkok at the age of 92. Two months after his death, the monk's followers exhumed the body and saw a smile on his face.
Luang Pho Pian is originally from Cambodia, but spent most of his life in Lopburi, a province of Thailand, where the monk's body was returned after his death. When his followers removed the body from the coffin that stood in the temple where Pian served, they were shocked at how well the body was preserved — as if death had occurred no more than 36 hours ago. The monks took out Pian's body to dress him in new, clean robes.
Surprisingly, there was a smile on the monk's face. Pian's followers filmed an incredible sight to share it on social networks. It is said that this state of the guru's body shows that he has reached nirvana.
The monk's followers will continue to pray for Luang Pho Phan until the funeral ceremony, which will take place on the hundredth day after his death.
