One of the more famous and recent examples is a buryat mummy of Dashi Dorzho Itigilov
His mummy is extra creepy because it has elastic skin, hair and fat so it looks as if he’s still alive (see pic in the article):
According to Buryat Buddhists, Itigilov’s body is so well preserved because the Lama is still living, having achieved the higher meditative state known as śūnyatā, or emptiness
That is impressive!
He doesn’t look so lively in that last picture
Dude looks like salted meat because he was preserved in salt. Wonder what he tastes like.

I saw the monk in Ko Samui with the glasses from this article. Was kind of odd ultimately it’s a dead dude in a box for tourists. I read up on him seems like a interesting guy I wonder how he would feel about it now.
