Domyo Burke’s talk on Dharma Transmission

Yes, all we have to do is find his hair brush or his children.

You should see how fast the DNA databases, like Ancestry.com, are growing. (I’ve discovered over 100 cousins in two years)! I wouldn’t rule out the possibility that someday the family line could be found. As a matter of fact I think they are doing it with the royal lineages in Europe as bones are found under parking lots although that’s much more recent history.

Will TL be branching out into the mummied Zen teacher business? We could set up a webcam, and people can pay a donation to access it.

All in favour say aye.

Wow Jundo, that is really cool! Ive heard the entirearea is beautiful, and hemountainsthere hole many Tang eratemples.

Asfor Huineng's mummy; I have had the same broom now for 12 years. Ive only replaced the handle three times andthe head twice.It is the same broom. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship_of_Theseus

Preparing a body for this process is difficult, legend tells Huineng was left to dessicate within a large urn for 2 years, then his body was wrapped with lacquered cloth strips. As Jundo said, the head was stolen once and the entire body smashed by teh RedGuard during teh revolution.

There was a Japanese sect who self mummified by refusing water and food gradually before dying in small caves sitting up, and many buddhist statues have been shown to contain bodies of practitioners.

I would not be volunteering for any of these painful processes lol
