He can’t be.Who can explain this article to me? How can a Buddhist be incorruptible?

That’s what I said it must somehow be a trick. Maybe it’s because of some preservation technique as we all know the Buddhists are very good with like herbs and things.He can’t be.

The answer is very simple. Incorruptibility has never been regarded officially as a miracle within the Catholic Church. There are many natural processes, and several man-made embalming techniques, that can cause a body to be preserved. Otzi, the 5000 year old “ice man” would technically be considered incorruptible, but that’s because he was buried in a glacier and preserved. Many Catholic saints have uncorrupted bodies, but they were embalmed. The Catholic Church does investigate incorruptibility, but in a way in which it sort of announces the information, and lets the faithful decide how to interpret what’s found. It may be a sign from God, or it might not.

What evidence? The picture looks like a frozen body.I see but based on the evidence it seems as if they are indeed incorruptible.
Did I miss something in the article that says that the body was examined by Western scientists? I can’t find any record of the Federal Center for Forensic Science on Google.

No I was referring to Catholic saints who were incorruptible.
