Buddhist Monk Mummy Suffers the Indignity of Ray-Ban Sunglasses

This is exactly why I want to be pulverized in some environmentally friendly manner upon death...


Loung Por Daeng died in 1974. He is still sitting in the original cross-legged meditation position as when he died, and his skin is very white in contrast to mummies that have been specifically embalmed where the skin usually takes on a darker tone. When his eyes fell into his head (don’t be squeamish), the monks at the temple fitted him with some sunglasses (Raybans, of course!) and he still wears the traditional orange robes of monkhood.
